Any suggestions?
There is also System Settings -> Notifications -> Application
Notifications to check.
Sorry, I meant System Settings > Notifications > Mattermost.
I notice that in the list of applications, there's one with a Safari icon apparently called:
ask you
Confirm that you’re not a robot, you need click Allow
(Its name includes that extra carriage return, too.)
Looking good, Apple!
Notifications will split out a website that you've allowed notifications
on to a line of its own with a Safari icon. I have one for
support.apple.com, for example, separate from Safari itself. It looks
like

So odds are high that what's happened there is you've pressed a
mislabelled button on a nefarious site that has enabled notifications
for itself with a fake "Are you a robot?" panel. Probably gives it some
sort of tracking access like a cookie would.
