Bug: Notification badge count persists after all notifications cleared (Windows) #4381

Description

@JamesFescoAVB

Description

The Copilot desktop app (Windows) shows a notification badge count on the system tray/taskbar icon even when there are no outstanding notifications, pending plan approvals, or inbox entries.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use the Copilot desktop app normally
  2. Clear/read all notifications and pending items
  3. Observe the app icon still shows a numeric badge (e.g. '1' or '2')

Expected Behavior

The badge count should be 0 (no badge shown) when there are no unread notifications or pending items.

Actual Behavior

The badge persists with a stale count. It does not decrement to zero even after:

  • Viewing all notifications
  • Confirming inbox is empty (0 entries in session database)
  • Reinstalling the app
  • Clearing all caches
  • App self-updating the database

Environment

  • OS: Windows
  • Copilot App Version: 1.0.78-2
  • The issue persists across reinstalls and cache clears

Additional Context

This appears to be a state management issue where the badge count is not properly synced with the actual notification state.
