+# Push Notification Test Payloads
+
+Simulate push notifications on iOS Simulator without a server.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Find booted simulator ID
+xcrun simctl list devices booted
+
+# Send message push (triggers NSE — mutable-content)
+xcrun simctl push booted com.rosetta.dev tools/push-test/message.apns
+
+# Send read push (triggers AppDelegate — content-available)
+xcrun simctl push booted com.rosetta.dev tools/push-test/read.apns
+
+# Send call push
+xcrun simctl push booted com.rosetta.dev tools/push-test/call.apns
+```
+
+## Testing the read eligibility fix
+
+1. Open a chat, scroll to bottom
+2. Background the app (Cmd+Shift+H)
+3. Send a message push: `xcrun simctl push booted com.rosetta.dev tools/push-test/message.apns`
+4. Return to app
+5. Verify: message should NOT be auto-marked as read
+
+## Notes
+
+- `mutable-content: 1` — NSE processes (badge, sound, mute filter)
+- `content-available: 1` — AppDelegate `didReceiveRemoteNotification` fires
+- NSE does NOT run on Simulator — only AppDelegate path is testable
+- For full NSE testing, use a physical device with TestFlight
