How do Shadow DOM boundaries affect events?

Short interview answer

Only composed events cross a shadow boundary, and event.target may be retargeted to preserve encapsulation. event.composedPath() exposes the propagation path appropriate to the event and is useful for boundary-aware delegation.

Key takeaway

Explain the underlying mental model clearly, then support it with a concrete example and its trade-offs.
