Description

DMS logs an error when a paired KDE Connect device has the notifications plugin disabled:

```
Aug 24 15:58:36 homePC dms[1037]: ERROR go: DMS API Error: id=1787579934321 error=dbus call failed: No such object path '/modules/kdeconnect/devices/e489f2a8_6ebb_411c_bd9f_bb77e4469cf4/notifications'
```

Cause: `~/.config/kdeconnect//config` has `kdeconnect_notificationsEnabled=false`, so kdeconnectd never exports the `/notifications` object path. `busctl --user tree org.kde.kdeconnect` shows battery, clipboard, sms, telephony and others, but no `notifications`. DMS calls it anyway.

Everything else about KDE Connect works. Per-plugin availability is normal, so an absent optional path shouldn't be an ERROR.

Suggestion: check `isPluginEnabled("kdeconnect_notifications")` (or `loadedPlugins`) on the device object before calling, and demote "No such object path" to debug.

Research direction

Start at the KDE Connect device-query entry point that calls the notifications object path, using isPluginEnabled("kdeconnect_notifications") or loadedPlugins as the issue suggests. Reproduce with notifications disabled and confirm the query no longer logs an ERROR for the absent path while other KDE Connect plugins continue to work.
