Notification workflow API with preferences, batching, and multi-tenant options.

Switching as teams choosing a transactional API

Judged purely as an API. What the request contract guarantees on retry, how complete the webhook event coverage is, whether suppressions are readable and writable programmatically, and how much the message log retains when something needs debugging in production.
