calendar and contacts, extracted from the officer platform

one sidecar, one permission, one install — and two screens, because Calendar and
Contacts are two places you go rather than two sections of one page. the first
plugin to declare `screens`, which the platform gained for this.

what moved: the radicale sidecar, the four routers, the panel apps, the
app-password table and the settings form. the form became a modal on the
calendar screen — a plugin ships panels and cannot contribute a settings
section, which is the same wall the email plugin hit and the same answer.

the routes are /calendar and /contacts, not /caldav/calendar. they were core
routes and keeping them is not cosmetic: a bookmark, a dock tile someone
arranged, and a persisted layout all address them. only a first-party plugin may
choose its own segment; a third-party one is confined to /p/<publisher>/.

four paths outside /api come with it, above the account gate, because phones are
not browsers: DAVx5, iOS and thunderbird send HTTP basic on every request and
have nowhere to put a JWT. that is not "open" — the sync door demands a scoped
app password and resolves it to one user before radicale sees anything.

two things deliberately unchanged. the table is still dav_app_passwords, not
caldav_app_passwords: installs hold real rows and a naming convention is not
worth a data migration on a live machine. and the panel names still resolve
through the platform's catalogs, so the six locales they had as core screens
survive rather than dropping to english to make the refactor tidier.

per-user was already true and is worth writing down because the config said
otherwise: the sync door resolves an app password to an account, tells radicale
that id is the principal, and owner_only does the rest. the comment claiming
"the owner is the only principal that exists" had been stale since multi-user
landed on 2026-08-07.

# Calendar
Calendars and contacts on your own machine, synced to your phone over CalDAV and CardDAV.
- **Radicale, not a container.** A ~2MB Python package, spawned on loopback by this plugin's sidecar. It
was a Docker service only because the old app store made everything one.
- **Per user.** The sync door resolves an app password to one account and tells Radicale that account's id
is the principal; `[rights] type = owner_only` does the rest. Every user gets their own calendars and
their own contacts, in their own directory, invisible to everyone else.
- **Phones work.** DAVx5, iOS and Thunderbird, including RFC 6764 autodiscovery from a bare domain.
## Two screens, one plugin
`/calendar` and `/contacts`. They are two places you go rather than two sections of one page, which is why
this is the first plugin to declare `screens` in its manifest — one sidecar, one permission, one install,
two routes and two dock tiles.
## What it claims from the platform, and why
Four paths outside `/api`, above the account gate:
| Path | Why it cannot sit behind the session |
| --- | --- |
| `/dav/*` | DAVx5, iOS and Thunderbird send HTTP Basic on every request and have nowhere to put a JWT |
| `/dav/provision/*.mobileconfig` | Safari is handed a URL by the phone app and has no credential; the one-shot token in the path IS the authentication |
| `/.well-known/caldav` | RFC 6764 — probed with a bare domain before the client has any credential |
| `/.well-known/carddav` | the same, for contacts |
"Above the account gate" is not "open". The sync door demands a scoped DAV app password and resolves it to
a user before anything reaches Radicale.
Every one of those is in the platform's `RESERVED_ROOT`, claimable **only** by a first-party plugin. A
third-party plugin is confined to `/p/<publisher>/` so it can never shadow a core route.
## Extracted from the platform on 2026-08-27
It was core from 2026-08-19. What moved: the sidecar, the four routers, the panel apps, the app-password
table, and the settings form — which became a modal on the Calendar screen, because a plugin ships panels
and cannot contribute a settings section.
Two things deliberately did **not** change. The table is still `dav_app_passwords` rather than
`caldav_app_passwords`: installs already hold real rows, and the platform's prefix convention is not worth
a data migration on a live machine. And the panel names still resolve through the platform's translation
catalogs, so the six locales they had as core screens survive.
