 Add `fixtureNow` to CalendarAgenda. Production uses `Date.now() / 1000`; fixture modes use their explicit clock. `upcoming` creates one timed event exactly 12 minutes ahead. `outside-window` creates one 20 minutes ahead plus an all-day event. Verify all-day never wins `nextEvent`.
 
 Use a one-minute `Timer` only while events are loaded to update relative time. Midnight refresh remains separate. There is no sub-minute repaint.
