6//! In-memory event queue backed by a `tokio::sync::broadcast` channel.
7//!
8//! The broadcast channel has a fixed capacity and is used for SSE fan-out.
9//! When a slow SSE consumer falls behind, it receives `Lagged(n)` and skips
10//! missed events — this is acceptable for SSE delivery.
11//!
12//! For the background event processor (state persistence, push notifications),
13//! a separate `tokio::sync::mpsc` channel can be created via
14//! [`super::new_in_memory_queue_with_persistence`]. The mpsc channel is not
15//! affected by SSE consumer backpressure, ensuring that every state transition
16//! is persisted even when SSE consumers are slow.
