 Clients query an event's RSVPs with `{ kinds: [31925], "#a": ["31923:<host>:<d>"] }` and keep the newest per pubkey. Hosts see incoming RSVPs in their notification center via `{ kinds: [31925], "#p": ["<host-pubkey>"] }`.
 
+### Event Updates (Host broadcasts)
+
+Hosts broadcast changes ("rain — moved to Sunday", "meet at the back ledge") with a **SkateSpots-native Event Update** (kind `7103`, regular event) pinned to a calendar event. Every current RSVPer is `p`-tagged so they get a notification; anyone viewing the event also sees the update thread.

+  "content": "Rain — moved to Sunday 2pm. Meet at the back ledge.",
+  "tags": [

+- `update-kind` is one of `update` (default), `reschedule`, `relocation`, or `cancelled` — used for iconography/emphasis.
+- Only the event's own author should post updates (clients enforce this).
+- When a host edits an event's **time or location**, the client auto-publishes a `reschedule`/`relocation` update to notify RSVPers.
