Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Element client code for unread counts, channel highlighting, and notification preferences, then trace how audio and push notifications are triggered. Done means new messages can update an unread indicator without producing audio or push notifications, with the behavior covered by the relevant client tests.
