I'd appreciate some pointers to documentation or minimal examples of

Internet searches pointed to skeleton examples at
github.com/krwesterback/newd and github.com/krwesterback/newdctl, but
those repos are now dead and it's unclear how authoritative they were
in the first place.
Blind leading the blind here, but I think a good starting point would be
recent presentations by Marc Espie, who, I believe but I might be wrong, is
the developer who worked the most on privsep.

Definitely not at all.
I haven't worked the most on privsep, by far.
and the examples I've worked on are highly specific and probably
not applicable to most of the base code.
I was wrong then. My apologies. Still, it's worth giving a look at the
events page. I have learnt a lot about OpenBSD going through all
presentations and papers, despite understanding only 0.1% of the
technical details.
