# Specification: Proper Timezone Handling & Recurring Events ## Overview Upgrade the SilverBullet iCalendar plug to provide accurate, DST-aware timezone resolution and full support for recurring events (RRULE expansion). This replaces manual hour shifting with an automated, reliable system using IANA timezone standards and the `Intl` API. ## Functional Requirements - **IANA Timezone Mapping:** Implement a comprehensive mapping of 139 Windows timezone names to IANA identifiers using Unicode CLDR data. - **DST-Aware Offsets:** Calculate UTC offsets at runtime for specific event dates using the built-in `Intl.DateTimeFormat` API, ensuring accuracy during Daylight Saving Time transitions. - **Robust Date Extraction:** Correct the wall-clock extraction logic to prevent "double-shifting" of event times. - **Recurring Event Expansion:** - Integrate the `rrule` library to expand recurring events into individual occurrences. - Support `EXDATE` for excluding specific instances of a recurring series. - Implement a configurable `syncWindowDays` (default: 365) to limit the expansion range. - **Advanced Filtering:** - Filter out "CANCELLED" events based on the iCalendar status field. - (Optional) Add `includeTransparent` and `includeDeclined` per-source flags. - **Error Handling & Fallbacks:** - If a timezone is unrecognized, fallback to UTC and append a warning to the event's description. - **Configuration Cleanup:** - Remove the redundant `tzShift` / `hourShift` parameters. - Add `syncWindowDays` global config. ## Non-Functional Requirements - **Self-Contained:** Maintain the plug as a Deno-compatible project using `esm.sh` or `deno.json` imports. - **Performance:** Ensure efficient expansion of recurrences, even for busy calendars. ## Acceptance Criteria 1. Events from various providers (Google, O365, Nextcloud) appear at the correct local time in SilverBullet, regardless of DST. 2. All occurrences of a weekly recurring event within the sync window are indexed. 3. Excluded dates (`EXDATE`) are correctly omitted from the index. 4. Cancelled events are not indexed. 5. The manual `tzShift` configuration is no longer required for correct time display. ## Out of Scope - Full CalDAV synchronization (this remains a read-only `.ics` fetcher). - UI for managing individual recurring instances (handled via SilverBullet queries).
