+/* node:stream — the runtime-provided stream classes behind the
+ * options-object constructor forms (`new Readable({ read() {} })` et al).
+ * This translation unit links ONLY into binaries whose IR touches the
+ * stream surface (moduleUsesStream — the scr_events_emitter.c gating
+ * precedent); stream-free binaries keep their exact link line.
+ *
+ * ONE layout for all five classes (ScrStream: the ScrEmitter prefix plus
+ * a state block), so upcasts among them and to ScrEmitter are pointer
+ * reinterprets. Events dispatch through the embedded emitter registry —
+ * scr_emitter_emit's variadic core — with the frontend's PER-BASE forced
+ * tuples guaranteeing every 'data' listener reads one ScrBytes*, every
+ * 'pipe'/'unpipe' listener one ScrStream*, and the lifecycle events
+ * nothing.
+ *
+ * EVENT TIMING. Node schedules most stream emissions on process.nextTick;
+ * here each deferral enqueues on the stream tick FIFO AND posts a raw
+ * marker on the USER nextTick queue (scr_next_tick_raw), so stream
+ * emissions and user nextTicks run in true FIFO enqueue order — Node's,
+ * where they are the same queue. The scr_loop_set_stream station remains
+ * as the drain of anything a marker never reached (and the uncaught-throw
+ * cleanup). The implemented orderings follow lib/internal/streams:
+ *   - on('data') starts flowing on a TICK (resume_): synchronous code
+ *     after the registration runs before the first 'data'.
+ *   - push() while flowing with an empty buffer emits 'data'
+ *     SYNCHRONOUSLY (addChunk's direct-emit fast path).
+ *   - 'readable' is emitted on a tick (emitReadable_), collapsed while
+ *     one is already scheduled (emittedReadable).
+ *   - push(null) → 'end' fires on a tick once the buffer drains, then
+ *     autoDestroy (default) destroys and 'close' follows on the NEXT
+ *     tick.
+ *   - write() calls the user write synchronously; a SYNCHRONOUS
+ *     completion defers afterWrite (the user cb + 'drain') to a tick
+ *     (Node's onwrite sync guard), an async completion runs it directly.
+ *   - end() → (buffer drains) → _final → 'prefinish' (sync) → 'finish'
+ *     on a tick → autoDestroy → 'close' on the next tick.
+ *   - destroy(err) calls _destroy synchronously; 'error' then 'close'
+ *     fire on ticks (error first, close after — Node's order).
+ * An unhandled 'error' event throws its payload through the exception
+ * cell (scr_emitter_emit_error) — the loop's dispatch surfaces it as the
+ * uncaught crash, Node's contract.
+ *
+ * DOCUMENTED DIVERGENCES (SEMANTICS.md, the stream block): tick-vs-
+ * microtask interleaving (Node runs nextTick callbacks before promise
+ * jobs; this queue drains after the fiber ready-queue), pipe() without
+ * registry-visible listeners (listenerCount('data') does not count the
+ * C-side pipe hookup), and Transform completing writes without read-side
+ * backpressure. */
