Fix public calendar subscriptions and meetup links - #24
Merged
Conversation
- Use a webcal feed in the Google Calendar subscription URL and derive the feed origin at runtime so preview deployments subscribe to their own public feed.\n- Add a direct .ics download fallback for calendar clients that reject the Google subscription flow.\n- Rewrite loopback meetup registration and media URLs to the public Events Management origin during static generation.\n- Preserve the existing event and meetup title/location truncation improvements.\n\nVerification: pnpm build completed successfully with 15 pages and the live published event feed; git diff --check passed; generated output contained no localhost or loopback URLs.

Summary
Fix the public events calendar subscription flow and keep published meetup links usable from the website and preview deployments.
Why it failed earlier
The calendar feed was not stale or empty. It was returning the current published events correctly, but the Google Calendar
cidlink passed the feed as anhttps://URL. Google’s subscription flow expects the calendar source inwebcal://form, which caused the “Unable to add calendar. Check the URL.” error.The live August meetup data also contained a localhost registration URL, which would only work from the local development environment and not from the deployed website.
