External Events Manager

Collection

external_events in PocketBase. Schema (from external-events.json export):

Field	Type	Meaning
title	text	Event name
description	text	Optional blurb
start_date / end_date	date	Event window
tier	select	1 (anchor) / 2 (seasonal) / 3 (filler)
type	select	holiday, sport, culture, tech, …
tags	multi	Keywords for clustering

As a signal source

1. Read all events sorted by start_date.
2. Keep events with tier ≤ minTier (default 2) and start_date within the horizon (default 60 days).
3. Emit signals with source: "external_events", source_ref derived from source+title+event id, url = event id.

Management rules

• Adding an event is idempotent on title+start_date.
• Tier 3 events exist to fill quiet periods — mark them clearly, never let them dominate the candidate set.
