+The middleware also exposes a typed event emitter, so you can subscribe per
+event type instead of branching on `req.webhookPayload.event` in a downstream
+Express handler. Only deliveries that pass signature, timestamp and nonce
+validation are emitted, so handlers can trust what they receive:
+
+```ts
+const middleware = createWebhookMiddleware(secret, {
+  toleranceSeconds: 300,   // reject timestamps outside a 5-minute window
+  nonceWindowSize: 1000,   // in-memory LRU size for replay protection
+});
+
+// `data` is typed per event — no cast needed
+middleware.emitter.on("invoice.paid", ({ data, request }) => {
+  console.log(data.invoiceId, data.amount);
+});
+
+middleware.emitter.on("invoice.expired", ({ data }) => {
