/sync provides an implicit ACK that events have been received by the client, but I think we lose that here?

Research direction

Start by comparing the /sync implicit ACK behavior with events pushed from the server over the WebSocket. Trace how the client receives each event and determine whether an acknowledgement is required; done means the expected ACK behavior is established and any missing protocol work is clearly scoped.
