Set status.acknowledge and status.silent to false whenever the notification state changes rather than only when it changes from normal state.

This is important so that higher level alarm state are not missed because lower levels were acknowledged.

Summary

Resets notification acknowledgment and silence state when the alarm state escalates to a higher severity. This prevents higher-level alarm states from being missed after lower-level alarms are acknowledged.

Alarm state synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reset notification state on any alarm transition
src/api/notifications/alarm.ts
The reset condition now detects any change between the previous and current alarm states, rather than only transitions from normal to non-normal.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 98e3c

Alarm de-escalations can retain acknowledged or silenced status and suppress notifications for the new state. The reset condition should cover every state change before merge.

I'm of the opinion that an alarm that has been silenced /acknowledged should only reset when the alarm state increases in priority, not necessarily for all changes (I.e. warning -> alert).
I would support a change that reflects this rather than any change of state.

If silenced higher level notification state is silenced and the state drops to lower level it stays silenced.

Reset notification state on every state change.

When prevState is alarm or emergency and this.value.state is a lower state, this condition is false. The existing status.acknowledged and status.silenced values then survive the update. alignAlarmMethod() can suppress notification methods for the new state.

Compare the states directly so both escalation and de-escalation reset notification state. Add tests for both transition directions.

Suggested fix
-    const weights = { normal: 0, alert: 1, warn: 2, alarm: 3, emergency: 4 };
-    if ((weights[this.value.state as keyof typeof weights] || 0) > (weights[prevState as keyof typeof weights] || 0)) {
+    if (this.value.state !== prevState) {

That's seems like a fine way to do it as it avoids too many alarms (I believe this is how n2k alarms generally operate). I updated my PR.

Looking at Crew Alerting System (CAS) for ideas... that system alarm both ways though typically a lower level alarm is a single ping and a top level alarm is continuous/latching until acknowledged (default for all elevated SK alarm states). Alarms returning to Normal or Green do not alert (similar to SK here).

(side note: signalk-notification-player supports customizing single play (non-latching) notifications for a given path / state pair so a notification for something like tank level or SOC at 50% will alert but be silenced w/o user intervention, though it keeps the notification unacknowledged - similar to output from n2k devices like YDAB-01 and NavAlert for lower level n2k alarms)
