Today, each MessageSpec's notificationTexts actually has no awareness of the user that is being sent the notif.
Some message types (eg. relationship, reaction) use terms like "you", but don't need to check the userID since the notif is only ever generated for one user. For example, since we know only that reactions only send notifs to the original message author, we can say "your message" in the notif without checking who is receiving the notif.
Other message types that you might expect would need awareness of the notif recipient (join thread, leave thread, add users, remove users) don't actually generate notifs.
In a following diff, I'm going to introduce a notif where we will need this data. In particular, we're going to add "and tagged you" to some notifs when the recipient user was tagged, and to do that we need to know about the recipient user.
