Implement POST /api/events/ingest (Raw Event Intake)

[immanuelaziba]

Objective

Create a single, canonical ingestion endpoint that accepts raw events, validates them, and persists them without interpretation.
This endpoint is data plumbing, not business logic.

Scope of Work

You must implement:

• Route: POST /api/events/ingest
• Controller: events.controller.js (or equivalent)
• Clean route registration
• Proper HTTP responses

Acceptance Criteria (Non-Negotiable)

• Endpoint exists at POST /api/events/ingest
• Requires JWT authentication
• Accepts valid event payload
• Returns 201 Created on success
• Returns JSON response (no empty bodies)

Explicit Exclusions

• No scoring logic
• No aggregation
• No side effects
• No async jobs
• No Redis
• No AI calls

If it’s not ingestion, it’s not part of this issue.
