Migrated from LOTUS_TODO.md on 2026-09-17 (the file is now reference-only).

[Med] [desktop] Tag-coalescing lost. The web SW notification used tag to replace prior notifications for the same room; show_rich_toast (cinny-desktop/src-tauri/src/native/toast.rs) ignores tag and shows a new WinRT toast every time → rapid same-room messages stack instead of collapsing. Fix: dedupe/replace by room in the toast store (toast.rs:226-230).

_Migrated from `LOTUS_TODO.md` on 2026-09-17 (the file is now reference-only)._ **[Med] [desktop]** **Tag-coalescing lost.** The web SW notification used `tag` to _replace_ prior notifications for the same room; `show_rich_toast` (`cinny-desktop/src-tauri/src/native/toast.rs`) ignores `tag` and shows a new WinRT toast every time → rapid same-room messages stack instead of collapsing. Fix: dedupe/replace by room in the toast store (`toast.rs:226-230`).

Fixed in c1ae01b. show_rich_toast now sets a WinRT Tag (a 16-hex hash of the web notification tag, because room:thread tags are ~75 chars and WinRT caps Tag at 64) in a fixed Group. So a newer toast for the same room or thread replaces the older one in the Action Center instead of stacking, and the replaced toast's keep-alive entry is dropped. Compiled for Windows in CI (build-windows passed on run 2057). The replacement behaviour itself needs a look on a real Windows machine: send 3 quick messages in one room and you should see a single toast.
