Description
I'm porting my «halluzinelle» bot from Matrix to Keybase.
Chat notifications on macOS currently look something like this:

Rambox (in this example using Riot/Matrix) and other applications use a different approach and include the avatar in the notification payload:
Another difference between the two notifications: Rambox displays the username and the team as title and leaves the notification text free for the message. Personally, I like this more than the way Keybase does things, specially for bots which communicate e.g. repo activity:

Research direction
The issue provides screenshots and two possible macOS notification presentation changes but names no files, tests, or entry points.
