Simplified class for creating calendar events

const request = new CreateEventRequest();

// Set the event fields declared by CreateEventRequest.

await calendarService.createEvent(request);
```

## AI Coding Instructions

- Keep event creation input in `CreateEventRequest` rather than passing unrelated objects into calendar code.
- Match field names and value types already declared in `calendar.model.ts`.
- Validate required event data before sending the request to the calendar service.
- Keep Outlook-specific API mapping in the calendar integration layer, not in UI code.
