calendar, mavweb: read the notification clock as his wall clock (V-482)

A phone posts an RFC 3339 instant ending in Z, and the clock inside the
text is a wall clock nobody means in UTC. The wall clock used to be
resolved against Posted's own zone, so on this UTC+4 box a 14:30 standup
was stored at 18:30. The size of the error is the deploy's offset, which
is why the tests never saw it: they ran on a UTC box.

EventFromNotificationIn takes the zone explicitly and EventFromNotification
passes time.Local. The day comes from Posted's local day too, since a
notification posted at 23:30Z saying "завтра" is already tomorrow where he
is standing. Posted itself stays an instant, so the past-grace check still
compares instants.

The two handler fixtures said a bare "10:00" against a 09:40Z post, which
is stale once the clock is read locally. They say "завтра" now, so they
mean a future meeting in every zone. internal/calendar and cmd/mavweb pass
under UTC, Europe/Samara, America/Los_Angeles, Pacific/Kiritimati and
Asia/Kathmandu.

+#### A restart expires a parked question
+
+Decided 2026-08-04 (Vikunja #385). The follow-up dialogue session survives a
+restart; the clarify question parked behind it does not, and neither do the
+three yes/no confirms in `voice.go`. `ClarifyStore` stays in memory.
+
+Three reasons, in the order they settle it:
+
+- The clock stops meaning anything. A parked question carries a 90s TTL and an
+  attempt count. A restart is a gap of unknown length, so a restored question is
+  either already dead or pretending to be young.
+- Restoring the question restores the request behind it. He asked for something,
+  she asked back, and then the daemon went away. Acting on that minutes later,
+  against words he has probably given up on, is the misroute the stage 3 gate
+  exists to avoid.
+- She does not announce it either. The expiry notice needs to know a question
+  was parked, and knowing that across a restart means storing it. One sentence,
+  in the rare window where he speaks within 90s of a restart, does not pay for a
+  marker that outlives the thing it describes. His next words route fresh, which
+  is the correct answer with or without the notice.
+
+So the notice stays what it is: the in-process TTL case, where she really did
+wait and really did let go.

+#### A fact per monitor, not an aggregate
+
+mavpoll writes one fact per kuma monitor, keyed `service_down:<monitor name>`.
+It used to fold the whole gauge into a single boolean, and the nudge could then
+only say that something on homesrv was down. That is not something he can act
+on, so the rule shipped disabled.
+
+Three things follow from the split:
+
+- The key set is no longer known at wiring time. A rule declares
+  `WantPrefixes` and the gatherer resolves the family per tick, which is the
+  only prefix read in the loop.
+- Pausing a monitor in kuma silences that monitor. Under the aggregate it
+  silenced nothing, because some other monitor kept the boolean at "down".
+- A monitor deleted in kuma would keep its last fact reading "down" forever, so
+  mavpoll marks a vanished monitor "unknown". No rule fires on "unknown".
+
+The rule is also edge-triggered: it fires on a transition it has not already
+nudged about (`State.NudgedSince`). A polled fact is written only when the
+value changes, but the predicate reads the current value, so without the edge
+check a service that stays down qualifies on every tick and cooldown is the
+only brake.
