Descripción

In the pre-existing Velocity API, canceling a chat event prevents it from being sent to the backend servers. Chat canceled on the proxy is therefore invisible to Bukkit plugins. However, using SignedVelocity fundamentally alters this behavior by forwarding **all** chat events, even if canceled, to the backend servers. While this makes the plugin work, it is a behavioral change from the prior status quo, and leaks the abstraction SignedVelocity employs to shore up chat handling in a post-1.19.4 world.

This can be confusing for users who are acquainted to the previous behavior. For example, it may cause certain proxy plugin features to stop working when switching from pre-1.19.4 to post-1.19.4 with SignedVelocity, since the behavior of chat events is now different.

Most of the time, however, uncanceling a canceled chat event doesn't make sense. Fortunately, SignedVelocity is in the unique position of knowing exactly when a chat event was canceled by the proxy but uncanceled by the backend server. I therefore propose SignedVelocity add another listener on `EventPriority.HIGHEST` to log a brief warning if behavior has fundamentally changed as a result of a backend plugin *uncanceling* the event. It should be relatively straightforward given you already have a queue of chat data, so no additional data structure overhead would be incurred. If you want to avoid annoying users, the brief warning can be one-time, or it can be disabled by a config option. However, I argue it should be enabled by default, because it presents a behavioral change from the typical Velocity API proxy plugins are used to.
