  "summary": "To implement email event notifications in Node.js for healthtech compliance, follow a two-record design. First, record the submission with a stable notice ID, case reference, recipient, template version, and submission time. Then, use a separate worker that polls, deduplicates, and records the last check time when the email is observed. Keep protected health information out of diagnostic logs unless allowed by the retention policy. Use a small state model that transitions from created to submitted to event_observed. The send operation requires one verified route, explicit authentication, and a stable idempotency key derived from the application attempt, not generated afresh during retries.",
