Bug Report: Notification NotAllowedError

When a message is sent in the chatbox, the recipient encounters an error if their browser tab is inactive. The app tries to display a notif and play a sound, but the browser throws a "NotAllowedError". I think the browser security policies require explicit user permissions for notifs and audio.

changed milestone to %0.2: Essential functions ready & corrective feedback

added Bug To do labels

Did you deny the browser's request? Normally, the first time you open a chat, you should be asked if you want to allow notifications (see /frontend/src/routes/sessions/%5Bid%5D/Chatbox.svelte#L122). But we currently ignore the user's denies, and just try to send notifications, even if the user ignored or declined the request. Maybe managing this could fix the issue?

I agree, we need to handle denied permissions explicitly to avoid this error, like checking the result of Notification.requestPermission()

added Nice to have label and removed Bug To do labels
