+"""Regression: the reminder ntfy sender must run the same SSRF guard as the
+webhook sender.
+
+The webhook branch of dispatch_reminder validates its target with
+src.url_safety.check_outbound_url before posting; the ntfy branch posted to
+the integration's base_url with no check, so a base_url pointing at the cloud
+metadata range (169.254.169.254) was fetched server-side — with the
+integration's Authorization header attached — every time a reminder fired.
