+//! gRPC Protocol Adapter for High-Throughput Event Streaming (Issue #583).
+//!
+//! Exposes `EventStreamService` — a server-side streaming gRPC service built
+//! on [`tonic`] that pushes Soroban contract events over HTTP/2 with Protobuf
+//! framing.  This eliminates the latency and serialization overhead of HTTP
+//! JSON polling for enterprise indexing consumers.
+//!
+//! # Architecture
+//!
+//! ```text
+//!  ┌─────────────────────┐       gRPC / HTTP-2        ┌──────────────────┐
+//!  │  Enterprise Indexer  │ ◄────────────────────────  │ EventStreamService│
+//!  │  (tonic client / any │       Protobuf frames       │                  │
+//!  │   gRPC client)       │                             │  SimulationBus   │
+//!  └─────────────────────┘                             │  (broadcast rx)  │
+//!                                                      └──────────────────┘
+//! ```
+//!
+//! The service subscribes to the existing [`crate::ws::SimulationBus`]
+//! broadcast channel.  Inbound `Completed` events are translated into
+//! [`ContractEvent`] Protobuf messages and pushed to connected subscribers.
+//!
+//! # Running the gRPC server
+//!
+//! The gRPC endpoint is bound on a separate port (default `50051`) so it does
+//! not conflict with the existing HTTP/REST server:
+//!
+//! ```bash
+//! GRPC_PORT=50051 RUST_LOG=info cargo run -p soroscope-core
+//! ```
+//!
+//! # Client example (grpcurl)
+//!
+//! ```bash
+//! grpcurl -plaintext -d '{"contract_id":"CDLZFC3SYJYDZT7K67VZ75HPJVIEUVNIXF47ZG2FB2RMQQVU2HHGCYSC"}' \
+//!   localhost:50051 soroscope.events.v1.EventStreamService/StreamContractEvents
