Output Format

Present as two sections:

All-Day List all-day events by name and calendar (no time needed).

Timed Events Table with columns: Time (HH:MM–HH:MM), Event, Location, Calendar. Flag pending invites (invitation_status = 3) with "(pending)" note. If conf_url is set, note "📍 Meet/Zoom link" or just say "has video link."
