Calendar Today — Today's Schedule

Show all events scheduled for today, all-day events first, then timed events in chronological order.

Steps

# Today's window: midnight to midnight local time

end   = int(datetime(d.year, d.month, d.day, 23, 59, 59).timestamp()) - epoch_2001

Output Format

Present as two sections:

All-Day List all-day events by name and calendar (no time needed).

Timed Events Table with columns: Time (HH:MM–HH:MM), Event, Location, Calendar. Flag pending invites (invitation_status = 3) with "(pending)" note. If conf_url is set, note "📍 Meet/Zoom link" or just say "has video link."

Show total event count at the bottom. If no events: "Nothing on the calendar today."
