The notification background was a 6% foreground tint over a transparent
window, which meant it had nothing behind it at all: the card sat
directly on whatever was on screen and the text competed with it.
Notifications are the one surface someone reads without having chosen to
look at it, so it now uses a real popover surface -- a little lighter
than one you opened deliberately, because a toast arrives unbidden and
full popover weight reads as a dialog demanding an answer.
Windows that ask for attention are now switched to rather than merely
highlighted, so a link opening on another workspace takes you there.
That setting already existed and was simply off; it is a preference
rather than a hardcoded behaviour, so it can be turned back off on the
Desktop & Dock page.

colour -> color, behaviour -> behavior, centre -> center, favourite ->
favorite, and about twenty other pairs, applied consistently across
comments, docs, error/UI copy, and a handful of QML identifiers that
used the British spelling as their actual name: SystemSettings'
serialiseValue/serialiseTable/normaliseGradient, Displays'
normaliseModes, Wallpaper's normalisePolicy, SettingsBackup's
serialiseHomeState, DateTime's ntpSynchronised property, Clipboard's
_normalise helper, and ShortcutCapture's cancelled signal (with its
onCancelled handler in ShortcutsPage.qml). Every call site and the two
tests that assert on the literal source text (settings-ownership and
settings-backup-live contracts) were updated in lockstep.
Left untouched: config/dot/espanso/match/packages/misspell-en/ is a
vendored third-party autocorrect dictionary -- its entries are typo
corrections, not our prose, and rewriting them would fight the
package's own purpose (and any future re-sync from upstream).
The already-American `favorites` property (Home page pinned
accessories) was never actually misspelled -- only nearby comments and
error strings said "favourites" -- so no data migration was needed
there.
