+"""Benachrichtigung per generischem Webhook.
+
+Der Body ist eine Vorlage mit ``$platzhaltern`` (``string.Template``):
+``$event``, ``$title``, ``$message``, ``$rule``, ``$time``, ``$host``.
+Ist der Content-Type JSON, werden die Werte JSON-maskiert eingesetzt – so
+funktionieren auch eigene JSON-Formate (z. B. Gotify ``{"title": "$title", …}``).
+Für ntfy reicht ``text/plain`` mit ``$message`` und der Topic-URL.
+
+Versand im Hintergrund-Thread, damit ein langsamer Empfänger nie einen Lauf bremst.
