[US-35] As a user, I want to optionally see important notifications from my other open accounts surfaced in my active account's notification box, so I don't miss something urgent while focused elsewhere.

@yousef: "I think this can be argued either way;

A user wants to keep things separated vs not miss anything across accounts"

@Jeremiah: "Agreed with Yousef. I would not want this as a user beyond a notification badge. See Slack as an example"

The idea is to follow the expected behaviour you both describe: by default, each account is isolated. I open one account at a time, and I don't see what is going on in one, while I am in the other. So yes to both of your comments.

But the feature here is to be able to selectively configure some notifications that would bubble up from one opened but not active account, to the current active account, as an option. This would not be activated by default. And also, it is low priority, probably out of scope for now. I just want to share with you the rational, and techncially, I had to keep this in mind too when I implemented the wallet/session thing.

An example: I am at work and I am using the corporate ELFA account. I do not see any of the notifications of my personal account. But I can configure my personal account so that notifications coming from selected people (my children, their school staff, etc...) can still bubble up and pass the boundary of accounts, so I do receive the notification while my active session is with the corporate account.
