Add event receiver framework for webhook-driven graph updates

[ravisuhag]

Context

Not every metadata change needs a full extraction cycle. Many sources can push notifications — a GitHub webhook on a schema migration merge, a PagerDuty alert when an incident opens, a cloud event when a resource is created. Meteor should be able to receive these events and convert them into graph updates.

Scope

• Lightweight HTTP server for receiving webhooks (meteor receive or built into meteor run)
• Pluggable event handler interface — map incoming events to asset/relationship mutations
• Built-in handlers for common sources:
  • GitHub webhooks (push, PR merge, release)
  • Generic cloud events (GCP Pub/Sub, AWS EventBridge)
• Feed received events into the same processing pipeline as extracted records
• Authentication and validation for incoming webhooks

Design Considerations

• Event receivers complement extractors, they don't replace them. Full extraction provides the baseline; events provide real-time updates.
• Should support running alongside batch extraction in the same Meteor process
• Events should carry enough metadata to route to the right graph update

Why

Batch extraction on a 1-hour schedule means the graph can be up to 1 hour stale. Event receivers close this gap for sources that support push notifications, making the graph near-real-time for critical changes.
