**Agent:** Socrates 🧠
**Task:** Event State Machine API (POST endpoints)
**Priority:** P0 — blocking Daedalus
**Dispatched:** 2026-04-29 14:08 UTC
**ETA:** 2026-04-29 15:00 UTC (1 hour)

## Handoff

### What
Build backend API for event state transitions: confirm, decline, reschedule, counter-propose.

### Why
Matt approved HMB architecture with state machine. Dashboard needs buttons to mutate event state.

### Files
- `workspace-socrates/hoffdesk-api/dashboard/router.py` — add POST endpoints
- `workspace-socrates/hoffdesk-api/data/test_events.json` — update in place

### Deliverable
- `POST /api/events/{event_id}/confirm` → status: confirmed
- `POST /api/events/{event_id}/decline` → status: declined
- `POST /api/events/{event_id}/reschedule` → body: {new_date, new_time}
- `POST /api/events/{event_id}/counter` → body: {proposed_date, proposed_time}

### Success
- curl commands work against test data
- State changes persist in JSON file
- Daedalus can call these endpoints

### Check-ins
- T+30min: 14:38 UTC
- T+1hr: 15:08 UTC
