+// outputFormatter bundles the pair-emission and warning-notification callbacks
+// used by the event loop. Extracting these two concerns into a dedicated type
+// separates "what to do with a completed event pair" and "how to report
+// non-fatal problems" from the core event-matching and FD-tracking logic.
+//
+// The struct is embedded (not pointed-to) inside eventLoop so that existing
+// call sites — including tests — can still write e.printCb = ... and
+// e.warningCb = ... without any changes.
+type outputFormatter struct {
+	// printCb is called for each completed, filter-passing event pair.
+	// The callback owns the pair after the call: it must either recycle it
+	// (ep.Recycle) or hand it off to another owner.
+	printCb func(ep *event.Pair)
+
+	// warningCb is an optional callback for non-fatal event-processing
+	// warnings (e.g. malformed events, unresolved comms). nil means silent.
+	warningCb func(message string)
+}
+
+// emit invokes printCb for the given pair, falling back to a safe recycle-only
+// callback when printCb has not been set. This prevents a nil-pointer dereference
+// during early initialisation or in tests that do not configure printCb.
+func (f *outputFormatter) emit(ep *event.Pair) {

+		f.printCb(ep)

+// message is non-empty. Silently drops the message otherwise so callers do not
