Repository event stream, aka Firehose endpoint. Outputs repo commits with
diff data, and identity update events, for all repositories on the
current server. Public; no auth. Implemented by PDS and Relay. Frames are
binary WebSocket messages consisting of two concatenated DAG-CBOR
objects: a header (`{op, t}`) followed by a payload whose shape depends
on `t`.

About AsyncAPI
The AsyncAPI specification describes event-driven APIs the way OpenAPI describes request/response APIs. A channel is the named pipe — a webhook URL, a Kafka topic, a WebSocket route, an MQTT subject — that producers and consumers publish or subscribe to. Each channel carries one or more messages with structured payloads, and an operation declares whether a given party sends or receives on that channel.
