Owner request (2026-09-30)

"please file a 'Calendar Sets' feature - which should work both when navigating our own calendars and when exposing calendars via CalDAV"

Idea: a Calendar Set is a named group of calendars that the User shows together. Examples: "Work" = Work area + team shared calendar; "Personal" = Aayushy + Family + Birthdays. Fantastical and BusyCal have this feature. Switching the set changes which calendars the Calendar tab shows, in one step.

Scope (to confirm in a grill; do not build before the owner answers):

Members. Every kind of calendar: area calendars (DESIGN §46), Tasks/Reminders lists, subscribed webcal calendars, Connected Account calendars (#407), and calendars shared with the User (#479).
In calternal:
- The Calendar sidebar shows a set switcher as a sidebar sub-view (chrome rules: no pill bar).
- There is an "All calendars" default and a shortcut to cycle sets (#542 registry).
- Each set is deep-linkable with Copy link (DESIGN §33, stable set ID).
- Search and the agenda follow the active set. Is that the default, with an easy "search all"?
Over CalDAV: options, with the recommendation first:
- (a) Per-app-password set: the App Password (Sync with Your Devices preset, #412) can be limited to one set, so a work phone only ever sees Work calendars. This is server-side, so it is safe.
- (b) One CalDAV principal/home per set: each set shows as its own account in Apple Calendar.
- (c) No CalDAV change; sets are only a view in calternal.
  The owner asked for CalDAV support, so (c) is out.
Automatic sets: can a set switch on by time or location (Location #391: "Work" on weekdays 9–6 or at the office)? Is it opinionated default ON with an easy override, or later?
Parity: sets can be created, edited and switched over the API, CLI and MCP (#484).
Storage: a plain file under the User's Home settings, synced like other preferences (single writer: the server).

Tests:

The two-User isolation matrix: a set never leaks another User's calendar.
A CalDAV client with a set-limited password: PROPFIND/REPORT/sync-collection only list the member calendars, and writes to others get 403/404.
An e2e that switches sets in the Calendar tab and asserts the visible events.
Real Apple Calendar on the macOS VM: a set-limited account shows only the member calendars.

FOCUS MODES: filter the whole app by Focus (Work, Personal…), manual + schedule/place, like iOS (grill) #574

Owner decisions, grill round 1 (2026-10-01): members = area calendars, Tasks/Reminders lists, webcal subscriptions, Connected Account calendars and calendars shared with the User; a calendar can be in many sets; "All calendars" is the default set. CalDAV: an App Password can be limited to one set (install several profiles, one per set). The active set filters the grid, agenda/Today and Analytics (with an off switch); global search covers everything with a one-tap set chip; the active set is remembered per device. Manual switching only (shortcut + quick switcher); automatic switching moves to Focus Modes (#574).

Owner decisions, grill round 2 (2026-10-01): sets are managed from both the Calendar sidebar (switch, create, edit: refer to Fantastical / BusyCal calendar sets) and Settings → Calendars → Sets, with the same editor. A set-limited App Password limits calendars and reminder lists only; Contacts/Notes/Mail are unaffected (whole-app filtering → Focus Modes #574). Membership is live: adding/removing a calendar reaches set-limited devices on their next sync. The owner says "make sure it actually works that way": prove it with a real Apple Calendar/Reminders run on the macOS VM.

Static audit evidence for DESIGN §51 Calendar Sets:

The Calendar schema currently has account and calendar records only: crates/plugins/calendar/migrations/0001_calendar.sql:1-24. Calendar settings list connected accounts and external calendars in apps/web/src/routes/settings/calendars/CalendarsSection.svelte:404-436, with no Sets model or editor found in the source tree.

Expected: add stable Calendar Set identities, membership, active-set preference and shared editor in the Calendar sidebar and Settings. Regression idea: filter Calendar, Agenda, Today and Analytics by one Set, then verify a set-limited CalDAV credential cannot read or write a non-member calendar.
