//! Holds a terminal event back from subscribers until the store has ruled on
//! it.
//!
//! # Why
//!
//! A writer with a persistence channel hands each event to the background
//! processor and broadcasts it in the same call, without waiting for the
//! processor to persist it. For every event but the last that is the right
//! trade: subscribers are not slowed by the store. For the terminal event it
//! is not, because the store can now *refuse* it — the task was already
//! finished by another writer, typically a `CancelTask` on another replica
//! (see [`crate::store::terminal`]). Broadcasting first would tell the
//! streaming client `Completed` about a task stored `Canceled`, which is the
//! disagreement the store-level rule exists to remove.
//!
//! So for an event that carries a terminal state, the writer arms a ticket
//! keyed by the event's `seq` before handing the event over, and waits for the
//! processor's verdict: the event itself when it persisted, the stored
//! terminal status when it was refused. The verdict is what subscribers see.
//! As a side effect a subscriber that reads the terminal frame and then calls
//! `GetTask` sees the same state, which was not guaranteed before.
//!
//! # Bounded
//!
//! The wait is bounded by the queue's write timeout. A processor that does not
//! answer in time — a store that slow is already failing every write — gets
//! the event broadcast as it was, which is exactly the behaviour before this
//! existed. A processor that has exited closes the gate, and a closed gate
//! arms nothing.
//!
//! # Scope
//!
//! Only queues the send path creates for its background processor carry a
//! gate. A blocking send folds events from the broadcast itself and has no
//! processor to wait for; queues built through the public constructors have
//! no gate, because their persistence receiver may belong to code that does
//! not know to answer.
