Confluence notification triggers during bulk page moves

Confluence Cloud and Data Center provide the 'Watch' feature to track page edits, comments, and attachments. To manage notification noise, users can configure their personal profiles to receive alerts via immediate emails or daily digests.
A design uncertainty exists regarding how these notification triggers behave when pages are moved in bulk between different spaces. Because space-level permissions and individual watch lists are tied to specific content locations, the transition of page ownership and visibility may affect alert delivery.
- Does moving a page to a new space maintain the existing list of watchers?
- Are notification alerts triggered for the new space's watchers upon the completion of a bulk move?
