Users can now control which in-app and email notifications they receive
from their Settings tab on their channel page.
Bell (in-app) preferences:
- New comment on my video (default: on)
- Reply to my comment (default: on)
- Comment liked (default: on)
- Video liked (default: on)
- New subscriber (default: on)
- New video from channels I follow (default: on)
- New post from channels I follow (default: on)
- New user registration — super admins only (default: on)
Email preferences (same set plus):
- Comment liked (default: off — too noisy)
- Video liked (default: off — too noisy)
- New post from channels I follow (default: off)
- My video finished processing (default: on)
- Weekly activity digest every Monday (default: on)
- New user registration — super admins only (default: on)
Implementation:
- Migration: notification_preferences JSON column on users table
- User::notificationPref($key) helper with typed defaults
- All existing notification classes updated to check prefs in via()
- 4 new notification classes: NewSubscriberNotification,
VideoLikedNotification, NewPostNotification, WeeklyDigestNotification
- 8 new email views matching existing dark theme
- SendWeeklyDigest artisan command, scheduled every Monday 09:00
- NewSubscriberNotification wired into UserController::toggleSubscribe
- VideoLikedNotification wired into UserController::toggleLike
- NewPostNotification wired into PostController::store (to all subscribers)
- Bell renderer updated for new_subscriber, video_like, new_post types
- Preferences saved via AJAX (POST /settings/notifications) — instant
toggle with automatic revert on failure

When a new user registers, all super_admin users receive:
- A database notification shown in the bell (type: new_user), with the
new user's avatar and a link to their channel
- An email congratulating them with the new member's name, email,
join date, gender, and nationality, plus a View Profile CTA
Notification rendering in app.blade.php refactored into notifHref() and
notifThumb() helpers so new_user notifications link to /channel/{slug}
and show a circular avatar instead of a video thumbnail. Also fixed the
legacy /storage/thumbnails/ path to /media/thumbnails/ for video notifications.
