Description

Currently InformerEventSource and ControllerEventSource extends ManagedEventSource; but this results in methods which are public but otherwise just should be hidden from the users.

We should refine this, and just exposes methods which are user facing as public; In other words we should have composition over inheritance.

Research direction

Start by examining InformerEventSource, ControllerEventSource, and ManagedEventSource to inventory the inherited public methods and distinguish user-facing behavior from implementation details. Confirm the intended public surface and composition design with the project’s API conventions; the work is done when only user-facing methods remain publicly exposed without the unwanted inherited API.
