Research direction

Start by reviewing the return-value handling around InitNamedEvent in src/Events.c at line 66 and WaitForMultipleObjects in src/Handle.c at line 157. Compare these calls with existing error-handling patterns in the project and identify which cited failures lack handling; done means the relevant return values are checked consistently.
