+
+Add `source` to committed swipe events so apps can distinguish gesture commits from programmatic action commits.
+
+```tsx
+ProfileDeck.useDeckEventListener('swipe', (event) => {
+  if (event.source === 'gesture') {
+    console.log('User swiped', event.direction);
+    return;
+  }
+
+  console.log('Programmatic action swiped', event.direction);
+});
+```
+
+`event.source` is `'gesture'` when a pan release commits the swipe and `'programmatic'` when
+`actions.swipeLeft()` or `actions.swipeRight()` commits it. `programmatic` does not mean button; map
+it to a button only when that matches your app's UI.
+
+This is a TypeScript-visible event payload shape change: `source` is a required field on
+`SwipeEvent<T>`, so object literals, fixtures, or `useDeckEvent('swipe', initialValue)` values must
+include it.
