+** Desktop notifications: EDNC replaces dunst
+
+Under EXWM, =services.dunst.enable = lib.mkForce false;= and EDNC (Emacs
+Desktop Notification Center, =azos-core/features/exwm/emacs/config.org=) runs
+instead, owning =org.freedesktop.Notifications= on the session bus directly
+from the Emacs process (=ednc-mode=). Arbitrary non-Emacs senders (scripts,
+=notify-send=, GUI apps like zapzap) reach it the normal way — a plain D-Bus
+=Notify= call — no dunst-specific glue needed. =azos/ednc-popup--present= adds
+a posframe toast on top of EDNC's built-in =*ednc-log*= buffer logging.
+
+Confirmed working 2026-10-11: =busctl --user list= showed the Emacs process
+owning the bus name; a synthetic =Notify= call shaped like zapzap's real one
+(icon file path, =category=im.received= hint) landed correctly in
+=*ednc-log*=. See [[id:f4196b35-5438-4da3-9d34-511291f482b5][azos/nextcloud]]
+for the investigation that prompted this (zapzap WhatsApp notifications
+reported missing — pipeline turned out fine; likely just WhatsApp Web's
+normal "don't notify for the focused chat" behavior).
+
+** Station renamed to desktop; vestigial Emacs dependency removed (2026-10-13)
+
+The home-manager =station= suite was renamed to =desktop=
+(=azos-core/suites/desktop/=, module =config.flake.modules.homeManager.desktop=,
+option =azos.suites.desktop.enable=) rather than split further — its apps
+(browser, gimp, libreoffice, spotify, whatsapp, zoom) turned out to be
+wanted on any GUI machine, work included. exwm still depends on it by
+default (=azos.suites.desktop.enable = lib.mkDefault true=) since exwm's
+quick-launch keybindings for chromium/qutebrowser/gimp need those
+binaries. Only =discord= was dropped from azos-core entirely, now living
+as standalone =azos/features/discord= — personal-only apps live in azos,
+not azos-core, going forward.
+
+exwm's =_pkg.nix= and =config.org= no longer depend on
+=azos-emacs-station= (renamed =azos-emacs-desktop=) at all -- confirmed
+via grep that none of exwm's own config used its symbols
+(mu4e/elfeed/wttrin/kubernetes-/pass); the require was vestigial. Full
+task history in [[id:939a9fa3-ddc8-4cc1-8130-771cc5de000f][azos/todos]].
