+## Events
+The Queue plugin dispatches events to allow you to hook into the queue processing lifecycle.
+
+### Queue.Job.maxAttemptsExhausted
+This event is triggered when a job has failed and exhausted all of its configured retry attempts.
+
+```php
+use Cake\Event\EventInterface;
+use Cake\Event\EventManager;
+use Cake\Log\Log;
+
+EventManager::instance()->on('Queue.Job.maxAttemptsExhausted', function (EventInterface $event) {
+    $job = $event->getData('job');
+    $failureMessage = $event->getData('failureMessage');
+
+    // Log the permanent failure
+    Log::error(sprintf(
+        'Job %d (%s) permanently failed after %d attempts: %s',
+        $job->id,
+        $job->job_task,
+        $job->attempts,
+        $failureMessage
+    ));
+
+    // Send notification email
+    //$mailer->send('jobFailed', [$job, $failureMessage]);
+
+    // Or push to external monitoring service
+    //$monitoring->notifyJobFailure($job);
+});
+```
+
+The event data contains:
+- `job`: The `QueuedJob` entity that failed
+- `failureMessage`: The error message from the last failure
+
 ## Notes
 
 `<TaskName>` is the complete class name without the Task suffix (e.g. Example or PluginName.Example).

 # Upgrading from older versions
 
+## New Features
+### Events for job lifecycle (v8.4+)
+A new event `Queue.Job.maxAttemptsExhausted` is now dispatched when a job has failed all of its configured retry attempts. This allows you to implement custom handling for permanently failed jobs, such as sending notifications or logging to external services. See the [Events section](misc.md#events) for usage details.
+
 ## Coming from v7 to v8?
 - Make sure you ran `bin/cake migrations migrate -p Queue` to migrate DB schema for all previous migrations before upgrading to v8.
 - Once upgraded also run it once more, there should be now only 1 migration left.
