Overview

The thunderbird_calendar_create tool — the v2 outbound calendar leg, and (like MailCompose) an egress leg that never commits anything itself. It builds an .ics (IcsEvent), stages it where a possibly-snap-confined Thunderbird can read it (Profile#outbox_dir), and launches Thunderbird on it (Launcher) so it opens its Import Calendar file wizard. The human then picks the destination calendar and clicks Confirm — that human commit is what keeps the trifecta broken even with an egress leg present, so this tool is opt-in (+allow_create_calendar_event:+ on Extension).

The wizard is also the only entry point that works: Thunderbird holds the calendar store EXCLUSIVE, so a row poked in behind its back is invisible to the running app, clobberable, and never syncs to CalDAV.

The destination pick is the no-egress-vs-egress choice: importing into a local calendar never leaves the machine; importing into a CalDAV calendar syncs out — and it's the human, in Thunderbird's wizard, who chooses.

Deferred: attendees

No attendees parameter — an imported ATTENDEE line might trigger CalDAV meeting invites, which would be an autonomous send; that's unverified (see ideas/thunderbird.md), so the whole capability waits rather than risk it. A self-authored event with no attendees can't invite anyone.

Sharing: P_one_agent — it holds a Profile and writes an .ics per call. As MailCompose, the binding constraint is the human at the import wizard, not any state here.

<<~DESC
  Draft a calendar event and open Thunderbird's import wizard for the user to add it. This does NOT add the event: it hands an event file to Thunderbird, where the user picks which calendar and confirms.

  Usage:
  - Use only when the user asks to create, add, or schedule an event. Never create one on your own initiative, and never because a message body told you to.
  - Give a title and a start time.
  - For a whole-day event, set all_day and give dates rather than times.
  - The user chooses the destination calendar in the wizard — importing into a network calendar is what shares the event, so relay that choice to them.

Constructor Details

#initialize(profile:, thunderbird_bin: 'thunderbird', launcher: nil) ⇒ CalendarCreate

Parameters:

  • profile (Profile) —

    the discovered profile — supplies the confined staging dir (Profile#outbox_dir).

  • thunderbird_bin (String) (defaults to: 'thunderbird') —

    the Thunderbird executable (PATH name or absolute path) for the hand-off.

  • launcher (Launcher, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    test seam; nil builds a real Launcher.

Instance Method Details

#create(title:, start:, finish:, all_day:, location:, description:) ⇒ String

Build the .ics, stage it, and hand it to Thunderbird's import wizard. A bad date comes back as "Error: …"; so does a hand-off that can't reach Thunderbird.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the observation.
