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
