Bark: Tiers, Due-time Push, and Nag Push
Bark has four interrupt levels: silent (notification center only), normal, Time Sensitive (can break through Focus mode), and Critical (bypasses silent and Do Not Disturb). A single Bark notification rings for a fixed 30s; to ring longer, TradeGuard sends one notification every 30s in succession.
Lead-time rules is a small table where each tier specifies a lead time (≤ minutes), a Level, Ring on/off, Ring seconds, and a sound. Tiers are matched from the smallest lead time upward; if none match, the fallback tier (lead time 0) applies. A maximum of 8 tiers is allowed. The factory default is two tiers: Time Sensitive for anything within 30 min, and normal for everything else, both with Ring off. Use "Add a tier," "Delete," and "Restore factory default (2 tiers)" to make changes.
