2061188 - Route event create/edit through the attribute-driven dialog shell

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Calendar Frontend, task)

Description

[Alex Schmitz]

Summary:
Make the normal New Event and Edit Event entry points choose the new attribute-driven create/edit dialog when its rollout preference is enabled. Keep the existing editor and tab-edit behavior intact.

For an edit, the router supplies only stable identity attributes (calendar-id, event-id, and, when applicable, recurrence-id). For a new event, it supplies no edit identity so the dialog starts in create mode. The dialog remains responsible for loading its own source; callers must not pass a preloaded raw calendar item.

• Planning: Redux - State Ownership
• Planning: Questions - Q03 Feature Pref Semantics And Rollout

Acceptance criteria:

• With the new-dialog preference enabled, New Event opens the new create/edit dialog.
• With the preference enabled, Edit Event opens the new dialog for the selected event or occurrence.
• Edit routing sets calendar-id and event-id; it adds recurrence-id only for a specific occurrence.
• Create routing sets none of those edit identity attributes.
• Routing passes identity only; it does not provide a preloaded calIEvent or another raw item as dialog state.
• When calendar.item.editInTab applies, existing tab editing remains available.
• With the new-dialog preference disabled, existing legacy-dialog behavior remains available.
• Tasks and todos do not use the event create/edit dialog.
• Automated coverage verifies pref-on and pref-off create/edit paths, identity attributes, create mode, tab editing, legacy fallback, and task/todo exclusion. Browser dialog-launch coverage runs axe where supported.

Out of scope:

• The Redux source loader itself remains Bug 2061191.
• The read-dialog Edit control and its routing remain Bugs 2070101 and 2020692.
• This story only owns normal create/edit command routing.
