+/**
+ * RealtimeManager — bridges CursorTracker (polling drain_changes) into
+ * PostGraphile's PgSubscriber so cursor-tracked events flow through the
+ * same subscription plans as NOTIFY events.
+ *
+ * Architecture:
+ *   PgSubscriber uses an internal EventEmitter. NOTIFY payloads arrive via
+ *   pg's `notification` event and are emitted as `eventEmitter.emit(channel, payload)`.
+ *   The `listen()` step in grafast subscribes to the same EventEmitter.
+ *
+ *   RealtimeManager converts ChangeLogEntry objects from drain_changes() into
+ *   the same NOTIFY payload format ("OP:rowId1,rowId2,...") and emits them on
+ *   the PgSubscriber's EventEmitter, so existing subscription plans handle
+ *   them identically to real NOTIFY events.
+ *
+ *   This provides at-least-once delivery: NOTIFY is instant but best-effort;
+ *   cursor polling catches up on anything missed (disconnects, restarts).
+ *   Duplicates are expected and acceptable — clients should be idempotent.
+ *
+ * Lifecycle:
+ *   1. start() → registers listener node, begins polling + heartbeat
+ *   2. drain_changes() results are converted and emitted on PgSubscriber
+ *   3. stop() → cleans up ephemeral subscriptions, removes listener node

+/**
+ * RealtimeManager — bridges CursorTracker (polling drain_changes) into
+ * PostGraphile's PgSubscriber so cursor-tracked events flow through the
+ * same subscription plans as NOTIFY events.
+ *
+ * Architecture:
+ *   PgSubscriber uses an internal EventEmitter. NOTIFY payloads arrive via
+ *   pg's `notification` event and are emitted as `eventEmitter.emit(channel, payload)`.
+ *   The `listen()` step in grafast subscribes to the same EventEmitter.
+ *
+ *   RealtimeManager converts ChangeLogEntry objects from drain_changes() into
+ *   the same NOTIFY payload format ("OP:rowId1,rowId2,...") and emits them on
+ *   the PgSubscriber's EventEmitter, so existing subscription plans handle
+ *   them identically to real NOTIFY events.
+ *
+ *   This provides at-least-once delivery: NOTIFY is instant but best-effort;
+ *   cursor polling catches up on anything missed (disconnects, restarts).
+ *   Duplicates are expected and acceptable — clients should be idempotent.
+ *
+ * Lifecycle:
+ *   1. start() → registers listener node, begins polling + heartbeat
+ *   2. drain_changes() results are converted and emitted on PgSubscriber
+ *   3. stop() → cleans up ephemeral subscriptions, removes listener node
