MSC4028 (push all encrypted events) is still experimental and disabled on most homeservers including matrix.org. Without it, a room-level mentions-only rule blocks all server pushes for encrypted events, since the server cannot inspect ciphertext to evaluate mention rules. The device never wakes up, so no mention notification reaches the user. To work around this, install a companion override push rule for each encrypted room in mentions-only mode. The override matches m.room.encrypted events server-side, waking the device. After decryption the event type changes, so the override no longer matches client-side and the room rule correctly filters out non-mentions.
