+// ============================================================================
+// Reproduces an upstream gap: `entity:persisting` interceptors and
+// `entity:persisted` / `entity:persistFailed` listeners are publicly
+// advertised on `EntityHandle.intercept(...)` / `EntityHandle.onPersisted(...)`
+// and via the React `useOnEntityEvent('entity:persisted', ...)` hook (the
+// hook's own JSDoc literally documents `useOnEntityEvent('entity:persisted',
+// 'Article', articleId, ...)` as the canonical example) — but at runtime
+// the events are never actually emitted.
+//
+// The reason: `BatchPersister` dispatches `setPersisting(...)` (action type
+// `SET_PERSISTING`), but `events/eventFactory.ts` `createBeforeEvent` /
+// `createAfterEvent` switch statements have NO case for `SET_PERSISTING`,
+// so they return `null`, so the `EventEmitter` never gets a before/after
+// event to fan out. Same gap exists for `DELETE_ENTITY` (→ `entity:deleting`
+// / `entity:deleted`). Only `entity:resetting` / `entity:reset` have the
+// matching factory case today.
+//
+// Downstream impact: any bindx consumer that wires a "before save" hook
+// for normalization (e.g. populating `normalizedName` for search), an
+// "after save" toast, or a delete confirmation interceptor sees their
+// callback silently never fire. It compiles, runs without warnings, and
+// just does nothing.
