Strip HTML comments from mobile notifications

Body

Several repos add an HTML comments at the top of issues/PRs templates to guide contributors. When someone submits an issue/PR that triggers a notification on the mobile app, instead of seeing what they wrote I see the same unhelpful HTML comment.

It would be nice if the HTML comments were stripped so that I could see their actual message directly from the notification instead of having to tap on it to open the app (which also marks the issue/PR as read).

P.s.: I would also like to point out that the title of the issue/PR is not included anywhere, making the notification even less useful. Edit: now reported here: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/177299

Yesterday I updated to version 1.202.0, and in the "What's new" it says:

• Notifications no longer display HTML comments in the body.

However I just got another notification just like the one in the screenshot posted in the original message, and the HTML comment is still there.

The HTML comments are still visible in the notifications on 1.230.0.
