## Event fields

Every event should include:

```json
{
  "timestamp": "ISO-8601 or host monotonic mapping",
  "code": "GEOMETRY_NOT_VALIDATED",
  "severity": "info|warning|critical",
  "state": "IDLE|MANUAL|...",
  "detail": "short machine-readable or operator-readable detail"
}
```

Do not use free text as the only control signal. Human messages are for UI; codes are for software.
