Web event init

[indpurvesh]

We need to enable the system to accept incoming web event requests from external services. This will allow third-party systems to push event data into our platform for processing rather than relying solely on polling or manual data ingestion.

The web event endpoint must validate incoming requests, parse the payload, handle event routing, and return appropriate status responses. Logging and error handling should be implemented to support observability.

Requirements

• Expose an HTTP/HTTPS endpoint to receive incoming web event requests.
• Accept common HTTP methods for web events delivery (typically POST).
• Validate requests (authentication token, signature header, or secret as applicable).
• Parse and log incoming event payloads.
• Route events to the appropriate internal handler/module.

**** Return appropriate HTTP status codes:

• 200/202 for successful processing
• 4xx for invalid requests
• 5xx for internal errors

Acceptance Criteria

• The platform exposes a secure web event endpoint.
• Incoming web event requests are authenticated and validated.
• Payloads are correctly parsed and forwarded for processing.
• Invalid or malformed requests result in appropriate error responses.
• System logs all webhook deliveries including success/failure status.
• Duplicate deliveries do not cause repeated processing.
• Documentation exists for expected headers, event format, and authentication.
• Tests cover valid, invalid, and retry scenarios.

Notes / Additional Context

Coordinate with the external provider to align on payload schema and authentication method.

Consider rate limiting and replay protection if needed.

If later required, add support for multiple web event types and versioning.
