# Story 393: Pipeline stage notifications for WhatsApp and Slack transports

## User Story

As a WhatsApp or Slack user, I want to receive pipeline stage transition notifications (e.g. "story moved from Current to QA") just like Matrix users do, so I can track story progress from any transport.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] WhatsApp transport spawns a notification listener at startup using the existing spawn_notification_listener infrastructure
- [ ] Slack transport spawns a notification listener at startup using the same infrastructure
- [ ] Notifications are sent to all active ambient senders/channels for the respective transport
- [ ] Stage transition notifications (story moved between pipeline stages) are delivered
- [ ] Error notifications (story failures) are delivered
- [ ] Rate limit warnings are delivered with debouncing
- [ ] Matrix notification behavior is completely unaffected

## Out of Scope

- TBD
