Description

For some reasons, the notify_push daemon wasn't running anymore on our instance. That didn't throw any error, and seems not to be logged anywhere.
Consequences : talk notifications were not working at all, or very very very slowly (several minutes).

systemctl enable --now notify_push solves the problem instantly. But it takes me hours to figure it out.

Maybe the client push app should warn somewhere if the daemon is not running ?

Research direction

Start by tracing how notify_push starts and how its health or availability is exposed to the Nextcloud client; the payload names no files or tests. Determine where a stopped daemon can be detected and define a user-visible warning for unavailable or delayed talk notifications, with coverage for the failure case.
