// A container's history.
//
// `docker events` is a live stream with only a short in-memory backlog — ask it for the
// last thirty days and you get the last few minutes, because the daemon keeps events in a
// small ring and loses them all when it restarts. That is why Dockhand kept its own copy,
// and why this does too: a watcher follows the stream and appends the lifecycle events to a
// ring kept beside the config, so "what happened to this container last Tuesday" has an
// answer.
//
// Only lifecycle events are kept. A health check produces three exec events every probe,
// which is thousands a day and tells you nothing that the health panel does not.
