Notification-preferences link is a raw `<a href>` that triggers a full page reload

[feyishola]

NotificationDropdown.tsx:103 uses <a href="/preferences"> instead of a React Router <Link>. Clicking it forces a full document navigation, tearing down and re-bootstrapping the SPA (re-fetching bundles, re-running auth/notification providers) instead of a client-side transition. Fix: replace with <Link to="/preferences">.
