Logs a custom event message for reporting via the events table.

Writes a custom event message to the events table for reporting, then continues on the `default` exit. The message can include `$(name)` variables, so you can record run-specific detail — a decision reached, an identifier, a milestone — and surface it later in reporting. It has no effect on routing; use it purely to make a flow's behavior observable.
