+//! Holistic audit: every `env.events().publish(...)` call site in this crate
+//! must (a) actually fire when its owning function is invoked through a real
+//! contract client, and (b) match the shape documented in `EVENT_SCHEMA.md`.
+//!
+//! Unlike `events.rs`'s own `#[cfg(test)] mod tests`, which only proves a
+//! topic constructor returns the string it claims to return, these tests
+//! drive `CalloraVaultClient` end-to-end and inspect `env.events().all()`.
+//! That distinction matters: a self-referential symbol check cannot catch a
+//! call site that fires an event zero times, twice, or with the wrong topic
+//! count — which is exactly the class of bug this audit exists to catch
+//! (see `propose_pause` before this PR, which fired `pause_proposed` seven
+//! times per call).
