+### 🔔 Desktop Notifications via Hooks
+
+Automatic desktop notifications when sessions need attention — powered by Claude Code's hooks system:
+
+| Hook Event | Urgency | Meaning |
+|------------|---------|---------|
+| `permission_prompt` | Critical | Claude needs tool approval |
+| `elicitation_dialog` | Critical | Claude is asking a question |
+| `idle_prompt` | Warning | Session idle, waiting for input |
+| `stop` | Info | Response complete |
+
+Hooks are auto-configured per case directory (`.claude/settings.local.json`). Requires `--https` flag for browser notification API support.
