+/**
+ * Contract
+ *
+ *   V1  Every sink that registerAllResolvers() knows about takes part in
+ *       production fan-out: an event the dispatcher processes is resolved
+ *       against a POPULATED registry, never an empty one.
+ *
+ * Regression guard. The WO-18 cutover removed the last production caller of
+ * getHookTargets(), and with it the only call to registerAllResolvers(). The
+ * registry stayed empty for the whole process lifetime, so resolveTargets()
+ * returned [] for every event: the row was stamped published, no hook job was
+ * ever enqueued, and no sink fired at all — integrations, webhooks,
+ * notifications, AI, workflows. Nothing logged, nothing errored.
+ *
+ * Deliberately DB-free: the handler registers before it touches the event row,
+ * so a payload without an eventId exercises the wiring and returns early.
