Description
When an event is written to my calendar via the scheduling logic, the default is to show me as BUSY despite having taken no action. This is the calendaring default and should work as such when a user doesn't define any differently. This is also determined by the transparency settings for a calendar, which sets a user as busy unless defined otherwise.
Allow a setting that would write events that have a PARTSTAT NEEDS-ACTION as FREE.

Research direction
Start by tracing the scheduling logic that writes VEVENTs and handles PARTSTAT NEEDS-ACTION, then inspect how calendar transparency settings are applied to free/busy calculations. Identify where a user setting can control this behavior and verify that NEEDS-ACTION events are written as FREE only when enabled.
