+/**
+ * API contract tests (#811).
+ *
+ * Pin the request/response structure of the events API so unintended
+ * breaking changes fail loudly in CI instead of reaching consumers.
+ *
+ * Covered contracts:
+ *  - Success envelope: { success: true, data: ... } on every 2xx.
+ *  - Error envelope:   { success: false, error: { code, message } } on
+ *    4xx/5xx, including expected error responses.
+ *  - Per-endpoint payload shape for the important read endpoints.
+ *
+ * These tests intentionally assert structure (field presence + types),
+ * not exact values, so legitimate data changes don't break the build
+ * while schema changes do.
