2025.5.1 - Newly discovered devices notifications not persistent any more?

Configuration
1

Since version 2025.5.1 it looks like the Notifications shown in the Side bar for newly discovered devices are not persistent any more?
Before installing 2505.5.1 I had some Notifications for discovered new devices that I did not yet react on.
After installing 2025.5.1 these Notifications are gone. However, in Settings → Integrations these newly discovered devices are still shown.
I am pretty sure that this was not the case previously: these notifications in the side bar were persistent after reboots and updates of Home Assistant.
Is anybody else seeing this as well?
I cannot find anything about this in the release notes.
Is this an intentional change, or could this be a bug?

its in the notes under “Backward-incompatible changes” → “Persistent notifications”

Thanks!
So this change was already introduced in version 2025.5.0?
I missed that then.

I don’t know why this didn’t become optional instead of just removing it. I think it was very informative for new users in particular.
I’m waiting to find out if this automation works:

alias: "Notification: Notify on Device Discovery"
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: event
    event_type: config_entry_discovered
conditions: []
actions:
  - action: persistent_notification.create
    metadata: {}
    data:
      title: 🔌 New device discovered!
      message: >-
        A new device has been discovered via **{{ trigger.event.data.source}}**.
        [View it in Settings → Devices & Services](/config/integrations)
      notification_id: discovered_device_{{ trigger.event.data.flow_id }}
mode: single

Guess I’ll have to buy something new, just to confirm obviously :wink:
