Technical Note: Database Architecture
This plugin integrates <code>webcalendar-core</code>, a framework-agnostic Composer library that provides all calendar business logic (events, recurrence, iCal, permissions) through 17 repository classes. These repositories require PDO and use exclusively parameterized prepared statements — no raw SQL concatenation. WordPress-specific data (users, options, capabilities) is accessed via <code>$wpdb</code> through the plugin’s Bridge layer (<code>WpUserRepository</code>, <code>WpConfigRepository</code>, etc.). See <code>src/Bridge/PdoFactory.php</code> for the connection factory.

<h4>Remote Calendar Sync (User-Configured)</h4>
When remote iCal subscriptions are configured, the plugin fetches .ics data from 
those URLs via HTTP GET. No user data is transmitted to these services.
<h4>OpenStreetMap / Nominatim</h4>
When a single event page has a location and the map provider is set to OpenStreetMap 
(the default), the plugin geocodes the address via the Nominatim API and displays a 
map using OpenStreetMap tile servers. The event location string is sent as a search 
query. No user personal data is transmitted.

<h4>Google Maps Embed API</h4>
When the map provider is set to Google Maps in settings, single event pages display 
an embedded Google Map for the event location. The event location string and your 
Google Maps API key are sent to Google. No other user data is transmitted.

<h4>Add to Calendar Links</h4>
Single event pages include “Add to Calendar” buttons that generate links to Google 
Calendar, Outlook.com, and Yahoo Calendar. When a visitor clicks a button, the event 
title, date, time, location, and description are passed as URL parameters to the 
chosen service. No data is sent until the visitor clicks.
