Description

It seems some calendars don't provide a way to set transp property to opaque. Which is what we use to determine "this event is blocked off".

We should add a checkbox to allow a user to mark a CalDAV calendar as "all events are busy in this calendar". Once checked we would avoid the freebusy api for this single calendar, and mark all of the event times listed as "busy".

Research direction

Start by tracing the CalDAV calendar settings and the freebusy API path mentioned in the issue. Identify where the calendar checkbox would be stored and where event times are classified by the transp property. Done means one calendar can be marked as making all listed event times busy without querying freebusy for that calendar.
