In App Notifications

Policies section (business-details-form.tsx)

Late Arrival Policy, Booking Terms and Privacy Policy URL are gone. The section now has Cancellation Policy plus the Terms & Privacy name and email dropdowns.
Their database columns stay, so nothing is lost. Saving no longer touches them.

Email and push only

One switch, IN_APP_NOTIFICATIONS_VISIBLE in in-app.ts, is set to false and controls everything below.

Bell icon: gone for customers, staff and owners, including the unread badge.
Notification pages: /notifications, /staff/notifications and /owner/notifications now return 404.

Settings: Settings → Notifications shows only Email and Push toggles.
Testing: I checked all of this in a local test app as the owner.
