Cause (Maintainer-confirmed cause): Released-fix commit: validate() treated keepalive as unknown event type; new validateForStream() lets keepalive pass.
Fix status: released_fix (fixed in 4.44.0)
Limitations:
- Verbatim text is 'Unknown ResponseStreamEvent'; a 'type=keepalive' suffix was not found in sources.
