Lifecycle
- pending — requires-confirmation event types start here
- confirmed — normal state
- rescheduled — the old booking after a reschedule (the new one is
confirmed;
from_reschedulelinks them) - cancelled — either party cancelled
- rejected — pending was declined
Reschedule vs cancel+rebook
The reschedule-booking action creates a new booking with a link back to
the old via fromReschedule. iCalUID is preserved across the reschedule
chain (RFC 5545), and iCalSequence is bumped.
No-show
mark-no-show sets noShow: true on an attendee. Round-robin calibration
uses this to penalize hosts whose attendees no-show frequently.
Cancel / reschedule tokens
Every booking has a cancelToken and rescheduleToken used in public
magic links sent to attendees. These let them manage the booking without
logging in.

room name. Stored in booking_references, used during cancel/reschedule to
propagate changes back to the source system.
ICS
/booking/:uid.ics returns the RFC 5545 calendar file. Used for
confirmation-email attachments and "Add to calendar" buttons.
