Research direction

Review events/events.go around lines 413-419, starting with the range over fl.wallPostNew and the goroutine call. Confirm whether the range variable capture can invoke the wrong callback, then check the surrounding event-dispatch behavior to determine whether the finding is a bug, mitigated, or desirable behavior.
