Research direction

Start by reproducing the five-step notify-enter sequence on WorldGuard 7.0.15-snapshot with WorldEdit 7.3.17-snapshot and Paper 1.21.8-58, then inspect the change from commit f8415ed. Done means a persisted notify-enter: false flag no longer prevents entry, including for op'ed players, and the behavior has regression coverage.

Bug Description

With commit #f8415ed regions on our server cannot be entered, when there's "notify-enter: false" in the region file. (We had one region where notify-enter was enabled years ago and disabled later, a pretty rare case). This also happens to op'ed players.
Setting "notify-enter: true" or removing the "notify-enter: false" entry from the region file completely makes it accessable again.

Expected Behavior

the config entry "notify-enter: false" for a region does not affect entry to the region.

Reproduction Steps
  1. /rg flag freefarm notify-enter true
  2. /rg flag freefarm notify-enter false
  3. (trying to enter the region bounces the player back)
  4. /rg flag freefarm notify-enter true
  5. (region is can be entered again)
