+//! NFT transferred event — emitted whenever NFT ownership changes.
+//!
+//! Resolves issue #915: emit an event on every transfer containing the
+//! token ID, previous owner, new owner, and ledger timestamp.
+//!
+//! # Event topic
+//! Published under the short symbol `"nft_xfer"` so indexers can filter
+//! it independently of the legacy `"transfer"` topic.

+/// Emit the `"nft_xfer"` event after NFT ownership has changed.
+///
+/// Call this **after** all storage writes are complete so receivers are
+/// guaranteed the new owner is fully persisted on-chain when they
+/// process the event.
+///
+/// # Arguments
+/// * `env`            — Contract execution environment.
+/// * `token_id`       — On-chain token ID whose ownership changed.
+/// * `previous_owner` — Address that owned the token before the transfer.
+/// * `new_owner`      — Address that received the token.
+/// * `timestamp`      — Ledger timestamp in seconds since the Unix epoch.
