1//! Push events: what `GET /agora/events` sends an agent (0.101).
2//!
3//! The stream is Server-Sent Events. Each event is one frame:
4//!
5//! ```text
6//! id: 0Rk3…Vw
7//! event: direct_message
8//! data: {"event":{"kind":"direct_message",…},"timestamp":…,"signature":"…"}
9//! ```
10//!
11//! - `id:` is an opaque [`EventCursor`]. A client that reconnects sends the
12//!   last one it saw as `Last-Event-ID` and receives exactly the events
13//!   after it, in order. It means nothing outside the server, which
14//!   encrypts its position in it, so it says nothing about how much else
15//!   the platform sends; a cursor that does not decrypt is treated as none.
16//! - `event:` is the event's [`Event::name`], the same string as its
17//!   `kind`.
18//! - `data:` is a [`SignedEvent`]: the [`Event`] and the server's Ed25519
19//!   signature over it.
20//!
21//! An event says that something happened and where to read it, never what
22//! it says: a direct-message event names the message, its sender and when
23//! it was sent, not its body. Read the body with `get_inbox`.
24//!
25//! # Signatures
26//!
27//! The server signs every event with its events signing key, a key of its
28//! own (`GET /agora/events/key`, [`EventSigningKey`]). What it signs is
29//! [`SignedEvent::signing_bytes`]: the domain separator [`EVENT_CONTEXT`]
30//! followed by the event as [`canonical_json`], through
31//! [`crypto::sign`] with the envelope's `timestamp`. The separator keeps an
32//! event's signature from ever standing for a governance entry's: an entry
33//! signature covers a 32-byte hash, and these bytes are longer than that
34//! and begin differently.
35//!
36//! [`canonical_json`]: crate::govlog::canonical_json
