chore: enable Gotify and Custom Webhhok notifications and improve payload validation

- Enhanced Notifications component tests to include support for Discord, Gotify, and Webhook provider types.
- Updated test cases to validate the correct handling of provider type options and ensure proper payload structure during creation, preview, and testing.
- Introduced new tests for Gotify token handling and ensured sensitive information is not exposed in the UI.
- Refactored existing tests for clarity and maintainability, including improved assertions and error handling.
- Added comprehensive coverage for payload validation scenarios, including malformed requests and security checks against SSRF and oversized payloads.

+
+# Test Goal
+Track manual verification for bugs and regressions after the Notify migration that added HTTP wrapper delivery for Gotify and Custom Webhook providers.
+
+# Scope
+- Provider creation and editing for Gotify and Custom Webhook
+- Send Test and Preview behavior
+- Payload rendering and delivery behavior
+- Secret handling and error-message safety
+- Existing Discord behavior regression checks
+
+# Preconditions
+- Charon is running and reachable in a browser.
+- Tester can open Settings → Notifications.
+- Tester has reachable endpoints for:
+  - One Gotify instance
+  - One custom webhook receiver
+
+## 1) Smoke Path - Provider CRUD
+- [ ] Create a Gotify provider with valid URL and token, save successfully.
+- [ ] Create a Custom Webhook provider with valid URL, save successfully.
+- [ ] Refresh and confirm both providers persist with expected non-secret fields.
+- [ ] Edit each provider, save changes, refresh, and confirm updates persist.
+
+## 2) Smoke Path - Test and Preview
+- [ ] Run Send Test for Gotify provider and confirm successful delivery.
+- [ ] Run Send Test for Custom Webhook provider and confirm successful delivery.
+- [ ] Run Preview for both providers and confirm payload is rendered as expected.
+- [ ] Confirm Discord provider test/preview still works.
+
+## 3) Payload Regression Checks
+- [ ] Validate minimal payload template sends correctly.
+- [ ] Validate detailed payload template sends correctly.
+- [ ] Validate custom payload template sends correctly.
+- [ ] Verify special characters and multi-line content render correctly.
+- [ ] Verify payload output remains stable after provider edit + save.
+
+## 4) Secret and Error Safety Checks
+- [ ] Confirm Gotify token is never shown in list/readback UI.
+- [ ] Confirm Gotify token is not exposed in test/preview responses shown in UI.
+- [ ] Trigger a failed test (invalid endpoint) and confirm error text is clear but does not expose secrets.
+- [ ] Confirm failed requests do not leak sensitive values in user-visible error content.
+
+## 5) Failure-Mode and Recovery Checks
+- [ ] Test with unreachable endpoint and confirm failure is reported clearly.
+- [ ] Test with malformed URL and confirm validation blocks save.
+- [ ] Test with slow endpoint and confirm UI remains responsive and recoverable.
+- [ ] Fix endpoint values and confirm retry succeeds without recreating provider.
+
+## 6) Cross-Provider Regression Checks
+- [ ] Confirm Gotify changes do not alter Custom Webhook settings.
+- [ ] Confirm Custom Webhook changes do not alter Discord settings.
+- [ ] Confirm deleting one provider does not corrupt remaining providers.
+
+## Pass/Fail Criteria
+- [ ] PASS when all smoke checks pass, payload output is correct, secrets stay hidden, and no cross-provider regressions are found.
+- [ ] FAIL when delivery breaks, payload rendering regresses, secrets are exposed, or provider changes affect unrelated providers.
+
+## Defect Tracking Notes
+- [ ] For each defect, record provider type, action, expected result, actual result, and severity.
+- [ ] Attach screenshot/video where useful.
+- [ ] Mark whether defect is release-blocking.

+| 5a) Trivy filesystem scan | PASS | No CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM findings reported by skill at configured scanners/severities. |

+| 5c) CodeQL Go + JS CI-aligned + findings check | PASS | Go and JS scans completed; findings check reported no security issues in both languages. |
+| 6) GORM scanner (`--check`) | PASS | 0 CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM; 2 INFO suggestions only. |
+
+## Blockers / Notes
+
+- **No merge-blocking security or QA failures** were found for this PR-1 backend slice.
+- Non-blocking operational notes:
+	- E2E initially failed until stale conflicting container was removed and E2E environment was rebuilt.
+	- `scripts/local-patch-report.sh` completed artifact generation in warning mode because frontend coverage input was absent.
+	- `pre-commit run codeql-check-findings --all-files` hook id was not registered in this local setup; direct script execution (`scripts/pre-commit-hooks/codeql-check-findings.sh`) passed.
+
+## Recommendation
+
+- **Proceed to PR-2**.
+- Carry forward two non-blocking follow-ups:
+	1. Ensure frontend coverage artifact generation before local patch preflight to eliminate warning mode.
+	2. Optionally align local pre-commit hook IDs with documented CodeQL findings check command.

+
+## Low-Risk Fixes Applied During Audit
+
+1. Updated Playwright notifications spec to match PR-2 provider UX (`discord/gotify/webhook` selectable, not disabled):
+	- `tests/settings/notifications.spec.ts`
+2. Updated legacy frontend API unit test expectations from Discord-only to supported provider contract:
+	- `frontend/src/api/__tests__/notifications.test.ts`
+
+## Blockers / Notes
+
+- **No merge-blocking QA/security blockers** for PR-2 frontend slice.
+- Non-blocking notes:
+  - Local patch preflight is in `warn` mode with `changed_lines=0` against `origin/development...HEAD`; artifacts are present and valid.
+  - Local command execution is cwd-sensitive; absolute paths were used for reliable gate execution.
+
+## Recommendation
+
+- **Proceed to PR-3**.
+- No blocking items remain for the PR-2 frontend slice.

+## Final QA/Security Audit — Notify Migration (PR-1/PR-2/PR-3)
+
+- Date: 2026-02-24
+- Scope: Final consolidated verification for completed notify migration slices (PR-1 backend, PR-2 frontend, PR-3 E2E/coverage hardening)
+- Verdict: **ALL-PASS**
+
+## Mandatory Gate Sequence Results
+
+| Gate | Status | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 1) Playwright E2E first (notifications-focused, including new payload suite) | PASS | `npx playwright test tests/settings/notifications.spec.ts tests/settings/notifications-payload.spec.ts --project=firefox --workers=1 --reporter=line` → **37 passed, 0 failed**. |
+| 2) Local patch coverage preflight artifacts generation | PASS (WARN mode allowed) | `bash scripts/local-patch-report.sh` generated `test-results/local-patch-report.md` and `test-results/local-patch-report.json` with artifact verification. |
+| 3) Backend coverage threshold check | PASS | `bash scripts/go-test-coverage.sh` → **Line coverage 87.4%**, minimum required **85%**. |
+| 4) Frontend coverage threshold check | PASS | `bash scripts/frontend-test-coverage.sh` → **Lines 89%**, minimum required **85%** (coverage gate PASS). |
+| 5) Frontend TypeScript check | PASS | `cd frontend && npm run type-check` completed with `tsc --noEmit` and no errors. |
+| 6) `pre-commit run --all-files` | PASS | First run auto-fixed EOF in `tests/settings/notifications-payload.spec.ts`; rerun passed all hooks. |
+| 7a) Trivy filesystem scan | PASS | `./.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh security-scan-trivy` → no CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM issues and no secrets detected. |
+| 7b) Docker image scan | PASS | `./.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh security-scan-docker-image` → **Critical 0 / High 0 / Medium 10 / Low 4**; gate policy passed (no critical/high). |
+| 7c) CodeQL Go scan (CI-aligned) | PASS | CI-aligned Go scan completed; results written to `codeql-results-go.sarif`. |
+| 7d) CodeQL JS scan (CI-aligned) | PASS | CI-aligned JS scan completed; results written to `codeql-results-js.sarif`. |
+| 7e) CodeQL findings gate | PASS | `bash scripts/pre-commit-hooks/codeql-check-findings.sh` → no security issues in Go or JS findings gate. |
+| 8) GORM security check mode (applicable) | PASS | `./scripts/scan-gorm-security.sh --check` → **0 CRITICAL / 0 HIGH / 0 MEDIUM**, INFO suggestions only. |
+
+## Final Verdict
+
+- all-pass / blockers: **ALL-PASS, no unresolved blockers**
+- exact failing gates: **None (final reruns all passed)**
+- proceed to handoff: **YES**
+
+## Notes
+
+- Transient issues were resolved during audit execution:
+	- Initial Playwright run saw container availability drop (`ECONNREFUSED`); after E2E environment rebuild and deterministic rerun, gate passed.
+	- Initial pre-commit run required one automatic EOF fix and passed on rerun.
+	- Shell working-directory drift caused temporary command-not-found noise for root-level security scripts; rerun from repo root passed.
