Description
When using local notation some declarations can silently not be added to the environment
Steps to Reproduce
variable {ι E : Type} (I : ι)
local notation "ℝ" => ι
def ha (_I : ι) (_f : ℝ → E) : Prop := True
variable {f : ℝ → E}
theorem tndsto (h : ha I f) : True := trivial
#check tndsto
Expected behavior: tndsto should be added to the environment and be printed by #check
Actual behavior: Without error or warning on tndsto itself nothing happens and check fails
Reproduces how often: 100%

Research direction
Start with the self-contained reproduction and the #check tndsto entry point. Trace how the declaration is processed when local notation appears in its type, then verify that tndsto is added to the environment and printed successfully by #check without warnings or errors.
