LIMITATIONS

Known limitations

- Notifications target Windows (PowerShell WinRT Toast). On macOS/Linux the plugin still loads, but toasts and sounds are silent no-ops. - Sound playback uses WPF MediaPlayer via PowerShell. If that's unavailable it falls back to `System.Media.SoundPlayer`, which only plays wav and ignores the volume setting. - If Windows Focus Assist / Do Not Disturb is on, toasts may be suppressed. - **Delivery identity (handled automatically since 0.5.0)**: Windows requires a desktop app to have a Start-Menu shortcut carrying `System.AppUserModel.ID`, otherwise toasts are **intermittently and silently dropped** (especially while a foreground window exists) — the symptom users report as "I only get notifications while the app is focused". The plugin idempotently creates that shortcut on startup (`%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\dsh-helper.lnk`) — no manual step, no admin rights. - If a cleanup tool removes the shortcut, it is recreated on the next DSH start.
