It now checks one condition first, and when that condition holds it uses the terminal bell and skips the per-terminal choice.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn some setups, notifications may arrive as a bell instead of the method you saw before.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
