- Extract a shared fetch_run_events_page helper so the three client
paging loops (full list, until, tail) no longer repeat the request/
convert/has_more skeleton; fold the tail loop's two descending-order
checks into one and drop its redundant had_events flag.
- Skip the latest-seq lookup in list_events_before_with_limit when the
caller supplies a before_seq cursor, so a cold projection cache costs
at most one full history scan per pagination session instead of one
per page.
- Remove the dead before_seq max(1) clamp and the passthrough order()
accessor from EventListParams.
- Document the CLI --tail 0 --follow seeding trick and the reader
event_seq placeholder invariant.
