On Windows this notifier logs a warning and does nothing — use Discord, Slack, or webhook instead.

How it works
- macOS:
osascriptruns adisplay notificationAppleScript — shows in the Notification Center. - Linux:
notify-sendfromlibnotify-bin. Most desktop environments ship this out of the box. - Windows: logs a warning line and returns. No toast support (yet).
Troubleshooting
- macOS 14+ silence. System Settings → Notifications → Terminal (or your terminal app) → Allow notifications.
- Linux notify-send not found.
sudo apt install libnotify-bin(Debian/Ubuntu) or equivalent. - Windows shows no toast. Expected — this notifier is a no-op on Windows. Add a Discord/Slack/webhook notifier in the same list.
