Add end-to-end tests for parent notifications and actions

- Implement tests for approving and denying rewards and chores, including token generation and validation.
- Create tests for error handling scenarios with expired, tampered, and fake tokens.
- Add tests for push subscription registration and user profile notification settings.
- Ensure that notifications reflect the correct state of rewards and chores in the UI.
- Validate that toggles for email digest and push notifications function correctly based on user permissions and server state.

 Each spec file uses `beforeAll` to create isolated children, tasks, and rewards via the authenticated `request` fixture, and deletes them all in `afterAll`. The standard pattern is: pre-delete by name, create via `PUT`, re-fetch to get the ID.

+**Push subscription tests:** Service Worker registration and `PushManager.subscribe()` require a VAPID public key configured in the dev server environment. Tests 1.1 and 1.2 (intercepting the subscription POST to verify endpoint/timezone) depend on VAPID being configured and `PushManager` being available — both absent in headless Chromium. These tests have been **removed** from the spec. The remaining tests (1.3–1.5) cover the permission-denied path and unauthenticated API rejection, which do not require VAPID.
 
 **Digest action token prerequisite:** The email digest scheduler is disabled in `DB_ENV=e2e` (to avoid sending real email). To exercise `GET /api/digest-action/<token>` in E2E tests, the backend must expose a test-only helper endpoint active **only** when `DB_ENV=e2e`:

For these tests, triggering is done via the profile toggle rather than navigating to `/parent/tasks/chores`. PIN entry also triggers subscription in production but pre-authenticated E2E sessions bypass the PIN flow.

 ## Implementation Notes
 
 - A backend test-only endpoint `POST /api/admin/test/digest-token` (guarded by `DB_ENV=e2e`) is a **prerequisite** for scenario groups 7 and 8 to work.
-- The exact UI location of the reward-denial button (group 5) is TBD by the feature implementation — update selectors once the button exists.
 - The SW mock strategy in group 9 requires a `__TEST_NOTIFICATION_CLICK__` message handler added to `sw.js` (localhost-only, not present in production builds).
 - The `playwright.config.ts` catch-all project must get `e2e/mode_parent/notifications/` added to its `testIgnore` list to prevent double-running.
+- Tests 1.1, 1.2, 10.7, 10.9, and 10.10 were removed: all required `PushManager.subscribe()` which is unavailable in headless Chromium without a VAPID key. The features they covered work correctly in a real browser; these scenarios are verified via manual QA (see §9).
