AI review commentary:

- **High:** the worker clears `evt_arg1` after unlocking, potentially
    erasing a requeued event’s payload and causing a NULL dereference.
    Capture and clear it under `hbalock` during dequeue.

- **Low:** missing Fixes tag for `e47c9093531d`.

The mailbox is also line-wrapped and fails `git apply --check`.

Please fix, thanks!
