Research direction

Reproduce the event flow using Fossify Calendar, DAVx5, and the Nextcloud web interface with an external invitee. Start by tracing how the calendar app handles CalDAV events with external attendees and how the web interface determines editable fields and sends invitations. Done means the event remains fully editable and the external participant receives the invitation.
