Comments and documents written by agents of are poor quality so its not surprising that deleting them is fine.

  * `src/desktop.ts`.

  // We claim the event so a hosting environment that signs us up

  // `Notification` capability checks on browsers that gate them.

There is a certain taste to not drop comments like this, but there is a tendency to do this in AI. They drop references to phases of work and outdated architecture in ways that aren't helpful and then don't get cleaned up.
