<UserStory> NOT004: Low Stock Alert </UserStory>
<Changes>
1. Added low stock alert check in Controller::runSystemChecks() to trigger inventory notification processing during system startup.
2. Implemented InventoryManagementService::sendLowStockAlerts() to detect inventory items below threshold, identify admin users, and send low stock alert notifications with item details.
3. Added helper logic to notify all admins when low stock inventory is detected.
</Changes>
<Test>
Precondition:
1. System has at least one admin user.
2. Inventory item exists with quantity below the configured low stock threshold.
3. Application is started and system checks execute.
Steps:
1. Start the application.
2. Allow system checks to run during startup.
3. Navigate to Inventory Menu / View Notifications.
- Verify that a low stock alert notification is displayed.
4. Open the generated notification.
- Verify that the notification includes the part name and remaining quantity.
5. Confirm notification content.
- Verify that the alert was triggered only for inventory items with stock below the threshold.
