refactor: standardize notification usage and document best practices

Move all user-facing notification messages to src/constants/notifications.ts
Use TIMEOUTS constants from src/utils/notify.ts for all notification durations
Refactor ActivityListItem.vue:
Use notification message and duration constants
Initialize notify helper in created() with createNotifyHelpers(this.$notify)
Add $notify property for Vue runtime injection to satisfy type checker
Use type guards or 'as any' for unknown notification payloads
Wrap notifyWhyCannotConfirm calls to match expected function signature
Fix type import for GiveRecordWithContactInfo
Add 'Notification Best Practices and Nuances' section to migration-progress-tracker.md:
Document message/duration constants, notify helper pattern, type safety, and wrapper function usage
Remove all hardcoded notification strings and durations from components
