Description

Suggestion
It would be great if spaces also have notification settings like rooms. After joining a few spaces I was getting constant notifications from various rooms in each space. Currently I had to manually change each rooms notification settings. I think it would be much more convenient if notification settings can be set for whole space. And all subspaces and rooms within that space with default notifications would inherit the notification setting of the the space.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry point. Start by reviewing the specification sections for room notifications, spaces, and subspaces, then define how space-level settings should inherit and interact with room defaults. Done means the behavior is resolved and documented consistently in the Matrix specification.
