libnotify

Version 2026.144.1443
Repo superproject

Ships the notify-send CLI for posting desktop notifications from inside the container. Installs the Fedora libnotify package, which provides the notify-send command-line client plus the libnotify shared library. notify-send posts desktop notifications over the D-Bus session bus to a running notification daemon (such as swaync), so shell scripts and interactive users can raise notifications. The binary path, its owning package, and its –version handshake are all verifiable in a disposable build-scope container.

This candy’s plan: — the runnable spec charly check executes against a live deployment. check: steps are idempotent probes; run: steps change state.

Intent Step
check the notify-send CLI is installed at /usr/bin/notify-send
check the libnotify package providing the client is installed
check notify-send –version runs cleanly and prints its version string
agent-check a notification sent with notify-send appears in the running notification daemon on the desktop
