Battery impact of extensions
extensions is a small SwiftUI surface. Settings can install .boringnotch packages; unsigned binaries stay manifest-only. Disable it if you want the lightest possible notch.

What costs energy
Live polling and media artwork cost more than a static chip. extensions should sleep when unused.
How to lighten it
Turn off unused live activities in Settings so extensions is not in the stack all day.
