Solutions

1. This wraps an underlying sd_notify error; read the embedded exception class and message for the cause.
2. Ensure NOTIFY_SOCKET is set and reachable, or do not call SdNotify outside of systemd.

Example fix

# Run under systemd with NotifyAccess configured, or skip sd_notify outside systemd
