eventide-domain 0.1.1

Domain layer for the eventide DDD/CQRS toolkit: aggregates, entities, value objects, domain events, repositories, and an in-memory event engine.

/// Capability bound that every domain event payload must satisfy.
///
/// A `DomainEvent` is a fact — an immutable record of something that has
/// happened inside an aggregate. Implementations are typically `enum`s with
/// one variant per concrete event, generated by the `#[domain_event]`
/// procedural macro. The auto-generated implementation handles identity,
/// type discrimination and version tagging so application code can focus on
/// the business payload of each variant.
///
/// # Trait bounds
///
/// The supertrait set is intentionally broad and covers the practical
/// requirements of an event-sourced system:
///
/// - `Clone` + `PartialEq` + `Debug` make events convenient to assert against
///   in tests and to fan out to multiple consumers.
/// - `Serialize` + `DeserializeOwned` enable round-tripping through the
///   persistence layer (see [`crate::persist::SerializedEvent`]) and any
///   transport boundary (message bus, HTTP, etc.).
/// - `Send` + `Sync` + `'static` allow events to flow freely across async
///   tasks and thread boundaries.
///
/// # Contract
///
/// Implementations must guarantee:
///
/// - [`event_id`](Self::event_id) is globally unique for the lifetime of the
///   system. It is used for idempotency, deduplication and as the
///   `causation_id` of any downstream event.
/// - [`event_type`](Self::event_type) is a stable string identifier. Renaming
///   a variant is a breaking change for stored data and must be handled via
///   an [`EventUpcaster`](crate::event_upcaster::EventUpcaster).
/// - [`event_version`](Self::event_version) starts at `1` and is bumped only
///   when the payload schema of that variant changes.
/// - [`aggregate_version`](Self::aggregate_version) is the version of the
///   owning aggregate **after** this event has been applied. It is the value
///   the persistence layer uses for optimistic concurrency control.
