//! 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 its
//! stream **ends**: `InMemoryQueueReader::read` turns the lag into
//! `A2aError::stream_lagged`, which `streaming::sse` writes as an
//! `event: error` frame before closing.
//!
//! This paragraph used to say the consumer "skips missed events", which
//! described the behaviour `broadcast` offers rather than the one built on it
//! — a receiver that resumes at the next live event. It does not resume.
//! What a lagging tail gets is a contiguous prefix and then an announced end,
//! never a silent hole, which is the stronger of the two properties and the
//! one a reader can recover from: `docs/swarm-scale-findings.md` finding 4
//! emitted 1,024 events into a 256-capacity channel at every subscriber count
//! from 1 to 64 and measured zero gaps, with every cut-off stream told.
//!
//! 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.
