Check the WCC admin Google Calendar for conflicting events at a proposed time. Run this BEFORE drafting an event with a date. If a conflict is found you MUST STOP and ask the user to pick a different time — never proceed with a conflicting slot. Takes ~10s.

Phase 1A: turn raw event notes into a structured draft (description, LinkedIn copy) via Gemini, written to /tmp/draft_event.json. Provide as much detail as possible (title, speakers, date/time, format). All event times are interpreted as Europe/London. Takes 30-90s. Only ONE event may be in flight at a time (shared state: /tmp/draft_event.json). Use cleanup_state to abandon a draft and start over.

Search the WCC Google Drive speaker database. action is one of: search | download | create | upload_headshot | upload_bio. 'search "Jane Doe"' finds a profile; 'download' fetches the headshot. Use before drafting to reuse existing speaker bios. Takes ~10s.

Save the registration URL (Meetup/Luma/Google Form) into the current event draft. REQUIRED before publish_event — publishing without a registration link is forbidden. Instant.

Create a public Google registration Form for the event and store its URL in the draft. Use when the organizer has no Meetup/Luma link. Takes ~30s.

Phase 2: publish the drafted event — creates the Drive folder, uploads event-details.json, creates the Google Calendar event with Meet link, creates the Luma listing, and queues social posts. PRECONDITIONS: a draft exists AND set_registration_link has succeeded. Meetup listing and poster generation are NOT automated in this version. Takes several minutes — wait for the result. Only ONE event may be in flight at a time (shared state: /tmp/draft_event.json). Use cleanup_state to abandon a draft and start over.

Generate the 11-post LinkedIn cadence timestamps for an event date (10 days out through event day, 10:00 Europe/London). Returns a JSON array of ISO timestamps. Instant.

Phase 3: pull attendee lists from Luma and Meetup and append them to the master Google Sheet. Takes ~1-2 minutes.

Phase 3: find the event recording + transcript on Drive, trim silence, upload to YouTube, and write links back into the event's event-details.json. VERY SLOW — can take 15-40 minutes; wait for the result and do not retry while it runs. Only ONE event may be in flight at a time (shared state: /tmp/draft_event.json). Use cleanup_state to abandon a draft and start over.

Delete the in-flight draft state (/tmp/draft_event.json and poster temp files). Use to abandon a draft or after a completed publish. Pass force=true to ignore the 30-minute idle guard.
