Description

We need to first document the event enqueuing patterns in the PrototypeAsyncConsumer. As part of this task, determine if it’s necessary/beneficial to conditionally add events and/or coalesce any duplicate events in the queue.

Don’t forget to include diagrams for clarity!

This should be documented on the AK wiki.
