Problem

In the iPhone 17 Pro simulator running iOS 26.5, Gotcha's Notification Settings row opens the top-level iOS Settings screen instead of Gotcha's notification settings page.

Reproduction

  1. Install and launch Gotcha in the iPhone 17 Pro simulator.
  2. Open Gotcha Settings.
  3. Enable Background notifications and allow notification permission.
  4. Tap Notification Settings.

Actual result

iOS Settings opens at its top-level screen.

Expected result

iOS Settings opens Gotcha's notification settings page so the user can manage alerts, sounds, Focus, and summaries.

Implementation constraint

Keep the solution on Apple's documented public UIKit settings APIs. Do not use private prefs:, App-Prefs:, or settings-navigation: URL schemes. Verify the final behavior in the iPhone 17 Pro simulator and update TESTING.md if the scenario changes.
