Use OpenMeet as calendar availability layer (replaces direct Google Calendar integration) #32

@zhiganov

Description

@zhiganov

OpenMeet already handles calendar OAuth (Google, Outlook) and exposes availability APIs. If users connect their calendar on OpenMeet, avails can pull their busy times without its own Google OAuth setup.

OpenMeet endpoints:

  • POST /api/external-calendar/events — get calendar events for a date range (with names, times)
  • POST /api/availability/conflicts — get conflicts for a time range
  • POST /api/availability/check — check specific time slot
  • Auth: ATProto service auth (same Bluesky login)

What this replaces:

Flow:

  1. User signs into avails with Bluesky (already works)
  2. If they have an OpenMeet account with calendar connected, fetch their busy times via OpenMeet API
  3. Show on the grid — same as current Google Calendar overlay, but from OpenMeet
  4. If they haven't connected a calendar on OpenMeet, show a link to do so

Depends on: #31 (OpenMeet integration basics)


Status (2026-04-03): Implementation complete. Proper ATProto service auth flow: PDS signs JWT with aud: did:web:api.openmeet.net, lxm: net.openmeet.auth, exchange at OpenMeet's service-auth endpoint. Blocked by OpenMeet 500 error — reported as OpenMeet-Team/openmeet-api#573. Google Calendar fallback works in the meantime.
