- 3Tell Notis to count unread Beamer posts for the provided user context and include the result in the address-operations review.

- 5Test with one real run and check that the unread count is associated with the intended user context.
Questions about this workflow
Does this retrieve or mark announcements as read?
No. The available action counts unread posts for a user; it does not retrieve or mark them as read.
What user context is required?
Supply the Beamer user context needed for the count. Notis cannot infer missing user identity or an address-to-user relationship.
