@copilot This isn't selecting anything. The bots can be found in the avatar list. Only select them if the bot is the first in the list (last in DOM). DOM example:

Fixed in 7ea8695. The selector now targets .AvatarStack-body a.avatar:last-child to only select notifications where the bot is the primary author (last in DOM order, first in the avatar list).
