The Lie: She told Leo the dog ran away because she knew a twelve-year-old would never let go, even if it meant the dog would suffer in pain. The "Bonus" Connection Blended Family -v0.02.alpha-

• Shared family calendar view with per-person color-coding.
• Custody-aware recurring events: define custody blocks (e.g., alternating weeks, 2-2-3) so events auto-assign to the parent who has custody on that date.
• Privacy layers: create events visible to everyone, visible only to adults, or visible only to specific people (e.g., hide stepchild details from a parent if desired).
• RSVP & confirmations: invite family members to events; require simple confirm/decline; send reminders.
• Smart suggestions: propose optimal times by checking individual availability and custody schedule; surface conflicts (school, therapy, work).
• Transportation helper: attach pickup/drop-off assignments and estimated travel times; optionally auto-assign based on custody and preferences.
• Shared tasks & shopping list integration: convert calendar events (e.g., back-to-school shopping) into tasks or list items assigned to people.
• Notifications & summaries: daily morning summary and end-of-week digest with upcoming custody transitions and events.
• Privacy-first design: granular controls; no sharing of data outside the household; export/import via standard calendar formats (iCal) with redaction options.
• Access tiers: full, limited (view-only), and guest (temporary) accounts; per-event overrides.
