I think this was at least approximately resolved by D21115, which made the default log much quieter and the "debug" log more verbose.

This looks like an edge case that fell out of D19864, which was originally motivated by similar goals (fixing how test notifications work).

This is super old and doesn't have any apparent reproduction instructions.

T13182 was a resurgence of this exact issue, but I'm currently banking on the fix being a move to Ubuntu 16 with T13076 before this breaks again, given that it was stable for ~18 months.

D19384 cleans this up a little bit and mostly fixes the "phantom unread notification" issue in T8953.

The "Notification server not enabled" text should also link to the Aphlict documentation or something.

(These are in the menu.)

This is kind of time-specific since it has a version number, but I got Aphlict working on my server by navigating to phabricator/support/aphlict/server and running npm install ws@2.X (literal X) as root. This installed version 2.3.1 (im assuming the latest stable 2.X version). Upon restarting aphlict, the notifications work without raising exceptions.

See also vaguely related T12171.

Conpherence is repainting after D17713 but notification counts aren't, yet.

This could be prettier, but it's functional and has buttons you can click.
