Description

There are a couple of cases when client's underlying provider may change its status to NOT_READY:

  • SDK is shutdown
  • domain provider is swapped for another provider, which is still initializing

However, there's no event to signal this.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the OpenFeature provider status lifecycle and the two NOT_READY cases described in the issue. Define and document the event's expected behavior for shutdown and provider swaps; the payload names no files or tests, so completion should be verified against the specification's resulting event semantics.
