What does this PR do?

This PR fixes a critical scheduling bug where attendee availability was not being checked during reschedule operations, leading to double-booking scenarios. When a Cal.com user books another Cal.com user and the host tries to reschedule, the system was only checking the host’s availability and ignoring attendee conflicts.

Bounty

  • /claim #16378

The Problem:

  • User A books User B for 2PM-3PM
  • User B wants to reschedule to 3PM-4PM
  • System only checks User B’s availability
  • User A might be busy 3PM-4PM or not available on particular day ( Double-booking created! )

The Solution:

  • Automatically detect Cal.com attendees during reschedule operations
  • Include attendee availability in the core slot calculation system
  • Block conflicting time slots from being offered
  • Prevent double-booking scenarios entirely

Visual Demo (For contributors especially)

Before fix:

User A was unavailable on Wednesday, but User B (the host) was still able to reschedule to Wednesday.

After fix:

User A was unavailable on Friday, so User B (the host) was not able to reschedule to Friday.
