Built for CalendarConnect: push real Mindbody bookable slots into Calendly so only MBO-bookable times are offered. CRITICAL: the host is targeted by the NESTED availability_rule.user — a top-level user alone is silently ignored and Calendly replaces the OAuth token owner's schedule instead. Always verify stored_user equals the requested host before trusting the result.
