// Package events defines the opt-in firewall event reporting interface.
//
// Nebula emits raw packet-level events (drops, flow creations, flow evictions,
// rule reloads) and does no aggregation, counting, batching, rule-description,
// transport, or timestamping. Embedders correlate events back to yaml rules
// out of band and capture whatever clock they need themselves. All Report*
// methods are invoked while nebula holds internal locks and must be
// non-blocking.
//
// Events are passed to Report* methods by value. Implementations must not
// take the address of a received event: doing so forces Go's escape
// analysis to move the event to the heap and costs one allocation per call.
// To forward an event, either copy its fields into the reporter's own
// pooled record or send it through a value-typed channel (chan DropEvent,
// not chan *DropEvent).
