override func didReceive(_ request: UNNotificationRequest,
                         withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void) {
    self.contentHandler = contentHandler
    bestAttemptContent = (request.content.mutableCopy() as? UNMutableNotificationContent)

    guard let bestAttemptContent else { contentHandler(request.content); return }

    // Modify content here — e.g., download and attach image
    if let urlString = request.content.userInfo["image_url"] as? String,
       let url = URL(string: urlString) {
        downloadAndAttach(url: url, to: bestAttemptContent) { modified in
            contentHandler(modified)
        }
    } else {
        bestAttemptContent.title = "[Modified] " + bestAttemptContent.title
        contentHandler(bestAttemptContent)
    }
}

override func serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire() {
    // Called just before extension is killed — deliver best attempt
    if let contentHandler, let bestAttemptContent {
        contentHandler(bestAttemptContent)
    }
}

}

UNNotificationAttachment(identifier: "image", url: localURL) { content.attachments = [attachment] } completion(content) }.resume() }
