Description

When booking an appointment, the booking user currently has no possibility to cancel their booking after it has been written to CalDAV. While the attendance can be updated (PARTSTAT DECLINED), this does not remove the event from the conflict check. The user should be able to set the ICAL STATUS to CANCELLED.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing appointment-booking and attendance-update APIs, then trace how booked events are written to CalDAV. Confirm how PARTSTAT DECLINED and ICAL STATUS are currently handled; done means a booking user can cancel the event through the new DELETE API and it no longer affects conflict checks.
