Google requires OAuth for calendar access; app passwords stopped working for
CalDAV, CardDAV and IMAP in March 2025, so there is no simpler path to offer.
- Authorisation code flow over a loopback redirect, which is what Google
supports for desktop clients now the copy-paste flow is gone, with PKCE so an
intercepted code is useless without the verifier. Only the refresh token is
persisted, 0600, in the state directory.
- An expired grant is reported as itself: a consent screen still in Testing has
its refresh tokens expired after 7 days, and "run calcalist google login" is
more use than Google's bare invalid_grant.
- doctor reports whether each Google endpoint is still authorised, since an
installation that worked last week can stop with nothing having changed here.
A webcal URL may now come from a command instead of the config. Google's secret
iCal address grants read access to a whole calendar to anyone holding it, so
writing it into a file described as portable and secret-free was a contradiction.
Fixed a serious defect in the first draft of this module: random_token used
fs::read on /dev/urandom, which reads to end of file. /dev/urandom has no end,
so it allocated until the machine ran out of memory — it took the editor down
with it. It now reads exactly 32 bytes, and a randomness failure is fatal rather
than falling back to the clock, since a guessable state or PKCE verifier defeats
the point of having them.
Verified end to end against a live Posteo CalDAV calendar: pimsync validated the
generated config against the real server, 58 events from a public feed were
mirrored and pushed, and a second run was a no-op.

Generates pimsync's configuration from calcalist.toml and invokes it one-shot
either side of the reconcile step: pull first so the reconciler sees one
consistent snapshot, push afterwards to publish what it decided. Its daemon
mode stays unused because it would write the same vdirs the reconciler reads.
- Endpoints are mapped with pimsync's collection blocks, matching a local vdir
subdirectory to an exact remote path. Matching by collection id instead would
have tied our directory names to whatever the server's URL segments happen to
be, and two calendars ending in the same segment would collide.
- The remote is storage_a with conflict_resolution keep a, so a concurrent
server-side change wins over a local one calcalist has not yet reconciled.
Nothing is lost: the next cycle sees the server's version and decides properly.
- on_empty skip and on_delete skip on every pair, so a failed pull is not
mirrored as a mass deletion.
- Secrets stay out of the portable config: pimsync is given the same command
calcalist would run to fetch them.
- Google endpoints are omitted entirely, since pimsync can reach neither its REST
API nor its CalDAV endpoint.
doctor now asks pimsync to validate the generated config. pimsync is pre-1.0 and
its parser does not always match its documentation, so asking it is the only
reliable check — a parse rejection is reported as a failure, an unreachable
server only as a warning.
Found while testing against the real binary: pimsync 0.5.11 documents read_only
as applying to every storage type but rejects it on a webcal storage, with only
"Could not parse file" to go on. Dropped; it was redundant beside one_way.
Verified end to end against a live Radicale server and an HTTP-served feed: the
feed synced in, mirrored with a derived UID and provenance, and pushed to the
server; repeated runs are no-ops and adding one feed event mirrors exactly one.

Initialise the project per the approved implementation plan (M0).
- Pin the toolchain with devbox: Rust 1.97.1, pimsync 0.5.11, jujutsu 0.44.0,
and radicale 3.7.8 for later integration tests.
- Add the configuration model with full referential validation, reporting
every problem in one pass rather than short-circuiting on the first.
- Add `calcalist doctor`, verifying pimsync's presence and version series,
the state directory, and the configuration.
- Define the whole CLI surface; only `doctor` acts, the rest exit 2 rather
than pretending to work.
- Rewrite SPECS.md: Rust naming conventions in place of the JS/TS style
lines, a `devbox run check` gate instead of a pre-commit hook (jj runs no
git hooks), and the sync semantics the spec previously left unstated.
