calendar.import.ics: Validates the uploaded file has the .ics extension, decodes its contents, and converts timezone-aware dates to UTC.
calendar.event: Stores the external UID from ICS data in a dedicated identifier field to match events across imports.
calendar.import.ics: Creates new events or updates existing ones with start, stop, name, and partner details based on the imported data.
