//! EffectEvent — opaque builtin representing one recorded effect emission.
//!
//! In Oracle v1's trace API, each call to `trace.event(k)` returns an
//! `Option<EffectEvent>`. The event carries enough data to answer:
//!
//! - "What effect method was emitted?" → `event.is(Console.print)`
//! - "What value was passed?" → `match event ... Some(Console.print(msg))`
//! - "Is it equal to this literal?" → `trace.contains(Console.print("hi"))`
//!
//! User code never constructs `EffectEvent` directly. Three elaboration
//! paths in verify-trace context produce event values:
//!
//! - Expression position: `Console.print("x")` → event literal.
//! - Pattern position: `Console.print(msg)` in a `match` arm → destructuring.
//! - Bare reference: `Console.print` → effect-type predicate (used with
//!   `event.is(...)` and overloaded `trace.contains(...)`).
//!
//! Internal representation: `{ method: String, args: List<Value> }` where
//! `args` carries the runtime values emitted, typed per the effect
//! method's signature (polymorphic `T` for `Console.print`, concrete types
//! for classified generative effects).
