What is `RepositoryProvider` (also part of the broader flutter_bloc/bloc ecosystem) typically used for, distinct from `BlocProvider`?

In this round
  1. What is `RepositoryProvider` (also part of the broader flutter_bloc/bloc ecosystem) typically used for, distinct from `BlocProvider`?
  2. How does `BlocSelector` in flutter_bloc compare to plain `BlocBuilder`, in terms of rebuild optimization?
  3. Why might `context.read<T>()` throw an error if called from inside a widget's `build()` method in certain contexts, even though it's generally described as "safe" for one-off, non-subscribing access?
  4. What does calling `emit()` after the Bloc has already been closed (via `close()`) typically result in, and why does this matter for how async event handlers should be written?
  5. What is a reasonable way to think about the tradeoff between using plain `Bloc` (with explicit named events) versus `Cubit` (direct method calls) SPECIFICALLY within the flutter_bloc package, for a given feature?
  6. What is a reasonable justification for using `RepositoryProvider` to inject a repository into a Bloc's constructor, rather than having the Bloc directly instantiate its own repository internally?
  7. What does the `buildWhen`/`listenWhen` parameter on `BlocBuilder`/`BlocListener` let a developer control?
  8. What is the purpose of `HydratedBloc` (from the related `hydrated_bloc` package built on top of flutter_bloc)?
  9. What is the purpose of the `initialState` (via the constructor's `super()` call) when defining a new `Bloc` or `Cubit` subclass in flutter_bloc?
  10. What is the purpose of `BlocObserver` in flutter_bloc, and what does overriding its methods let a developer do?
  11. What widgets/classes does the `flutter_bloc` package provide beyond the core `Bloc`/`Cubit` base classes?
  12. What is the significance of `flutter_bloc`'s widgets (BlocBuilder, BlocProvider, etc.) internally using `InheritedWidget`, similar to how the Provider package also builds on InheritedWidget?
Gaps to close?
