//! What web-net tells the rest of the system, and where it asks whether a
//! request may continue.
//!
//! A security component that cannot report what it sees is a detour, not a
//! defence. Every refusal, denial, and failure is reported through
//! [`Events`], so a detection or gate layer hears about a probe the moment
//! web-net turns it away. Events carry ids, codes, and statuses, never
//! request bytes.
