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