The caller's own unread count, and nothing else. The same single field as :class:`NotificationBatchReadOut`, for the same reason and then one more. The shared reason: a per-id result, a matched count, or a list of ids that did not apply would report which SUBMITTED ids turned out to be real and the caller's — an enumeration oracle a hundred guesses at a time, which is exactly what ``DELETE /{id}``'s uniform 204 exists to deny. The extra one: a remaining-TOTAL count would be a strictly better oracle here than ``unread_count`` is. Deleting leaves no trace in the unread count when the notification was already read, so an attacker probing with read ids learns nothing from it — but a total would move for every id that was real and theirs, read or not. It is the caller's own aggregate and looks harmless, which is precisely why it is worth not returning.
