//! Mem-change events: runtime-agnostic callback-based subscribe API.
//!
//! Every successful write mutation (`memstead_create`, `memstead_update`,
//! `memstead_delete`, `memstead_relate`, `memstead_rename`) emits a
//! [`MemChangedEvent`] after `update-ref` lands. Consumers register
//! a callback per mem via [`Engine::subscribe_mem_changes`] and
//! receive an event on every commit.
//!
//! The Core (this module + the `Engine` wiring) is **std-only**: no
//! tokio, no notify, no async runtime dependency. Tokio-broadcast and
//! filesystem-watcher conveniences live behind opt-in feature flags
//! (`tokio`, `file-watcher`) so UniFFI / WASM / sync consumers are not
//! forced to drag async runtimes into their dependency graph.
//!
//! Consumer-side contract: transport / routing / filtering are *not*
//! the engine's job — it only emits the events.

/// Event payload emitted on every committed mutation.
///
/// Wire-format: matches the Section 3 of the concept doc one-to-one
/// (`mem`, `head`, `previous`, `n_commits`). Serde-serializable so
/// HTTP / SSE / WebSocket layers in consumer crates can forward the
/// event verbatim without re-shaping.
///
/// Field semantics:
/// - `mem`: the writable mem name that produced the commit.
/// - `head`: the new HEAD SHA after the commit.
/// - `previous`: the HEAD SHA the engine had cached before this
///   commit. Empty string when the engine had no prior head (folder
///   backend, first ever commit on a freshly-mounted git-branch mem
///   the engine has not probed yet). Consumers that need a full
///   walk-from-empty-tree treat the empty value as `EMPTY_TREE_SHA`
///   per the existing `memstead_changes_since` convention.
/// - `n_commits`: number of commits batched into this event. The
///   per-mutation emit hook in `record_self_write` always sets this
///   to `1` — one mutation, one commit — but the field stays in the
///   wire shape so a future bundled-emit path can lift it without a
///   breaking change.
