      Description of problem:
      
      The notifications page in Satellite WebUI fails to load with http 500 error. Below error message is observed in /var/log/foreman/production.log:

      Foreman writes notification data to the (redis) cache as raw JSON, but then attempts to read them back using the cache default format (Ruby marshaling). This results in the UI failing to display some notifications, and persistent errors in the log that look like the example shown below. It appears it can be resolved with a one-line fix in the cache_handler to change it to pass the same "raw" parameter for reads as is used for writes:
      
      --- cache_handler.rb 
      +++ /usr/share/foreman/app/services/ui_notifications/cache_handler.rb

      This has been fixed in upstream: https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/36329
