/**
 * Controls how event dispatch behaves when an event handler throws an
 * exception.
 * <p>
 * This policy is set via
 * {@link CopilotSession#setEventErrorPolicy(EventErrorPolicy)} and determines
 * whether remaining event listeners continue to execute after a preceding
 * listener throws an exception.
 *
 * <p>
 * The configured {@link EventErrorHandler} (if any) is always invoked
 * regardless of the policy — the policy only controls whether dispatch
 * continues after the error handler has been called.
 *
 * <p>
 * <b>Example:</b>
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * // Default: continue dispatching despite errors
 * session.setEventErrorPolicy(EventErrorPolicy.CONTINUE);
 *
 * // Opt-in to short-circuit on first error
 * session.setEventErrorPolicy(EventErrorPolicy.STOP);
 * }</pre>
