Expected Behavior

When chatting in a temporary chat, no web notifications will be sent to logged in devices other than the current one, or no notification at all - for privacy.

Also: All notifications should have properly formatted chat titles

Actual Behavior

AI responses in temporary chats sends web notifications to any logged in devices

Also: chat title in the notification is null

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Enable web notifications on devices
  2. use two or more devices to test
  3. open a temporary chat on a device and start chatting
  4. observe that when a LLM responds to the message, web notifications were being sent to the devices with notifications enabled, with chat title being null
