# Notifications and Recovery

When something changes — success, failure, or anything in between — the user must know. And when something goes wrong, they must always have a path forward. A notification without a recovery action is just an apology.

## Pattern Selection

| Pattern | When to use | Dismissal |
|---|---|---|
| **Toast** | Transient result of a user action (saved, sent, deleted) | Auto-dismiss 4–6s, manual close |
| **Inline error** | Field-level validation, form errors | Clears on correction |
| **Alert banner** | Persistent issue affecting the current context | Manual dismiss or resolved state |
| **Modal / dialog** | Blocking error requiring a decision before continuing | User action required |
