Research direction

Start with apps/approval/lib/Activity/ApprovalProvider.php at line 125, then trace how apps/activity/lib/MailQueueHandler.php handles the parsed event during cron email processing. Reproduce the notification failure and determine what must change so the activity email completes without the reported NoUserException.
