Bug: /event replay semantics are implicit and conflict with SSE backpressure handling

[AndresCdo]

Description

When using the /event endpoint with after_seq, replay failures are not clearly signaled to SSE consumers. This makes reconnect/recovery logic inconsistent, especially when clients are slow or reconnecting.

OpenCode version

v1.3.4

Steps to reproduce

1. Start server (opencode serve).
2. Produce some events.
3. Call /event?after_seq=bad.
4. Call /event?after_seq=0 with replay unavailable/expired cursor.

Expected behavior

SSE consumers should receive explicit replay/backpressure control signals so recovery logic is deterministic.

This issue doesn't fully meet our contributing guidelines.

What needs to be fixed:

• The issue does not use one of the three required issue templates (Bug Report, Feature Request, or Question). Please resubmit using the appropriate template.
• The description reads as AI-generated: it is highly structured with proposed implementation details, specific internal event names, and design recommendations that go well beyond describing a bug. AI-generated walls of text are not acceptable per our guidelines.
• Bug reports should describe observed behavior with actual reproduction steps — this issue describes hypothetical/expected behavior rather than a confirmed bug.
• The environment section lists v1.3.4 baseline which does not appear to be a real version; please include your actual OpenCode version.

Please edit this issue to address the above within 2 hours, or it will be automatically closed.
