Direct manipulation existed but was awkward, and one part of it was outright
broken. A drag was recognised on ANY pointer movement, so the pixel or two of
travel in an ordinary click counted as a drag and suppressed click-to-edit —
the most common interaction on the calendar would have felt broken. A press now
has to travel a few pixels before it becomes a drag.
At 28px per hour a fifteen-minute block was seven pixels tall. Legible, but not
something a pointer can reliably hit, and its resize grip would have covered the
whole block. Rows are 44px, which makes the smallest block an 11px target while
still fitting a full day on a laptop screen; a test pins both halves of that
trade so neither can be tuned away silently. That height had been written as a
bare 28 in five places in the view that all had to agree with the module — it is
now one constant.
The rest is feedback. A block shows a grab cursor, dims while it is being moved
so it is clear what is travelling, and its grip is taller with a visible edge.
While dragging, the grid switches to a grabbing cursor and suppresses touch
scrolling, so the gesture works on a touchscreen instead of panning the page.
Pointer capture is released and the chrome reset on every exit path, including
a cancelled drag.

The calendar rendered schedules but could not be used to change them. Creating
or moving anything meant opening a dialog and typing times, which is the wrong
instrument on a week grid: the grid already shows exactly where a thing goes, so
the grid should be where it is put. My previous change made the grid easier to
READ — all screens at once, a colour and a name per target — and left the
interaction untouched, which was only half of what was asked for.
Three gestures now share one pointer loop. Dragging empty space draws a slot and
opens the dialog prefilled with the time drawn, so the gesture supplies the
times and the dialog supplies only what it alone knows. Dragging a block moves
it. Dragging its bottom grip resizes the end. A live ghost shows the range as a
readable time while dragging, and nothing is committed until release, so an
accidental nudge costs nothing. Right-click acts on what is under the pointer:
new here, or edit, duplicate and delete on a block.
Dragging a repeating schedule sideways is refused. A one-off's day IS its date,
but a repeating one's day comes from its rule, so moving an instance across
columns would rewrite the recurrence for every other occurrence — a different
operation, and not one a mouse gesture should perform silently. Changing a
repeating schedule's TIME does still edit the whole series, since a series has
one time of day, so that is confirmed out loud rather than assumed.
The arithmetic is a separate module of pure functions, because it is the part
that fails quietly: a block that ends before it starts, a move near midnight
truncated instead of slid back, or a stamp built with toISOString() putting
anyone west of Greenwich on the previous day. Tests pin each of those. That last
one was already present in the create path and is fixed here too.

The week view could only answer "what plays on THIS screen". With one screen
at a time an empty grid is ambiguous — nothing scheduled, or the schedule
points at a different screen? That ambiguity is what a user actually hit.
Adds an "All screens" scope alongside the per-screen one. Every block now
names its target, with a stable per-target colour and a legend, so a full
grid stays readable.
The scope for all=1 comes from the request's resolved tenancy and is filtered
on nothing else, so the tenant boundary rests entirely on that resolution.
Tests pin both halves: an ordinary tenant gains nothing by naming another
workspace in the query string, and the platform-admin act-as path still
resolves the workspace it asks for — the two are easy to mistake for each
other, so they are asserted separately.

Creation and playback disagreed about which clock a schedule's hours are on.
The player evaluated blocks in the device's zone — an operator override, else
whatever the player's OS reported. Creation defaulted to a bare 'UTC', because
the dialog never asked for a zone and the server filled the silence with one.
So hours typed as "09:00 to 17:00" were stored as UTC and evaluated somewhere
else. For anyone outside UTC the schedule was correct and appeared to do
nothing, opening hours later than intended, with nothing on screen to explain
why. A user in Asia/Tokyo hit exactly this and reported it as "I added
something and it didn't appear".
Both sides now resolve through lib/device-timezone, so they cannot drift: an
explicit device override wins, then the OS-reported zone, then null. A legacy
'UTC' override counts as unset, since that was the old default rather than a
deliberate choice and a genuine UTC deployment is indistinguishable from an
unconfigured one.
A new schedule inherits its target's zone — the device's, or for a group its
leader's, falling back to the oldest member that reports one. A zone named
explicitly by the caller still wins; this only fills the silence. A target that
has never reported one still lands on UTC, which is the previous behaviour made
explicit rather than assumed.
The dialog now states which clock the hours are on, and says so differently when
that clock is not the operator's own. Stating it is the other half of the fix:
the server can pick the right zone, but the user still has to be able to see it.
Tests pin both directions and, most importantly, that creation and playback
resolve identically from the same device row.

Phase 4 group scheduling: schema migration adds group_id to schedules with
CHECK constraint, scheduler evaluates group+device schedules with priority,
group deletion converts schedules to per-device copies. Dashboard gets
playlist assignment dropdown and current playlist label on group headers.
Player persists audio unlock state in localStorage so version reloads
don't lose audio on unattended displays.
