[bug\_fix] import cycle not allowed: package a imports b, b imports a

Break the cycle by extracting the shared declarations \(types, constants, interfaces\) into a third package that both packages import. If one package only needs behavior, pass an interface defined in a neutral package instead of importing the concrete package.

Journey Context:
The domain package imported the service package to emit events, and the service package imported the domain package to read models. go build stopped with 'import cycle not allowed'. We initially tried type aliases, but the compiler still saw the cycle. We pulled the event types and the event-sink interface into a new events package. Domain emits events through the interface and service implements the sink. Both packages import events only, so the dependency graph became acyclic.
