Transient $q.notify vs Persistent QAlert: Which Minimizes Alert Fatigue?

Goal

Design a notification strategy that reduces user distraction while guaranteeing that critical messages are not missed.

Constraint

Choose between transient $q.notify() calls with a finite timeout and persistent <q-alert> banners that remain until dismissed.

Unresolved Decision

Both approaches offer documented behavior: $q.notify() auto‑dismisses after the specified milliseconds, while <q-alert> stays until the user clicks the close button or the component is programmatically cleared. The trade‑off lies in how quickly users can absorb information versus how much screen real‑estate they occupy over time.

Specific Questions

• Which method better balances alert visibility and noise for non‑critical messages?
• Does setting stack: false on $q.notify() reduce perceived clutter without sacrificing important alerts?
• What timeout duration achieves an optimal trade‑off between readability and notification fatigue?
