## Objective
Currently, events are dropped after two frames. This cadence wasn't
*chosen* for a specific reason, double buffering just lets events
persist for at least two frames. Events only need to be dropped at a
predictable point so that the event queues don't grow forever (i.e.
events should never cause a memory leak).
Events (and especially input events) need to be observable by systems in
`FixedUpdate`, but as-is events are dropped before those systems even
get a chance to see them.
## Solution
Instead of unconditionally dropping events in `First`, require
`FixedUpdate` to first queue the buffer swap (if the `TimePlugin` has
been installed). This way, events are only dropped after a frame that
runs `FixedUpdate`.
## Future Work
In the same way we have independent copies of `Time` for tracking time
in `Main` and `FixedUpdate`, we will need independent copies of `Input`
for tracking press/release status correctly in `Main` and `FixedUpdate`.
--
Every run of `FixedUpdate` covers a specific timespan. For example, if
the fixed timestep `Δt` is 10ms, the first three `FixedUpdate` runs
cover `[0ms, 10ms)`, `[10ms, 20ms)`, and `[20ms, 30ms)`.
`FixedUpdate` can run many times in one frame. For truly
framerate-independent behavior, each `FixedUpdate` should only see the
events that occurred in its covered timespan, but what happens right now
is the first step in the frame reads all pending events.
Fixing that will require timestamped events.
