2143	// (the GTM container plus the GA4 configuration / Google tag for the
2144	// stream) has finished initialising. During the initial page load that
2145	// pipeline is still coming up: a GA4 Event tag that fires in this window is
2146	// reported as "succeeded" in GTM Preview but is dropped before any
2147	// /g/collect request is made, because the stream's config command has not
2148	// run yet.
2149	//
2150	// Interaction events (start, submit, validation on an in-page re-render)
2151	// never hit this - a human cannot act until well after load. But events
2152	// derived from the page load itself DO: on NON-AJAX flows every step change
2153	// and every submit / validation outcome arrives via a full page reload, and
2154	// the success event on a redirect / thank-you page fires at load too. Those
2155	// are precisely the events that go missing.
2156	//
2157	// So we hold every push until the window "load" event (plus one macrotask,
2158	// to let load-triggered tag/config initialisation run first). By then the
2159	// pipeline is up and the push transmits normally. Once ready, pushes are
2160	// forwarded synchronously, so interaction events keep their existing timing.
2161	// We deliberately do NOT wait for consent: a denied / undetermined state
