What
Internal poll events (used for delivering updates) now have stricter validation on their kind field:
kind must match a pattern of a lowercase letter followed by lowercase letters, digits, or hyphens, up to 64 characters, and events that don't match are rejected with a new error message
the maximum envelope size is now looked up per kind instead of using one fixed limit for all events
the error message shown when a reserved kind is used has changed wording, now referring to a "trusted in-process producer" instead of a "server-authored producer"
poll events can now optionally carry a media field
Why
The stricter format check and per-kind size limits make poll event handling more precise and harder to misuse, and the new media field lays groundwork for events to carry attachments.
