//! The event boundary's read side.
//!
//! A participant reads [`drain_events`] to see what the engine published this
//! cycle. To act it builds a [`Command`](crate::Command) and runs
//! [`submit_command`](crate::submit_command), or, for rhai, the
//! [`scripting`](crate::scripting) runner produces and submits typed commands.
//! There is no separate command queue: the command is the one api `Command`,
//! applied the moment a participant produces it (deferred-batched for scripts),
//! so nothing serializes in process.
