 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Fixed
+- Reminders now arrive for every calendar you have switched on. A calendar that
+  was hidden at system level — switched off in another calendar app, or never
+  switched on after being added — still showed its events and listed their
+  reminders in Calendula, but never notified: Android only schedules reminder
+  alarms for calendars marked visible, and Calendula kept its own separate
+  on/off list that had no say in it. There is now one switch: **Settings →
+  Calendars** turns a calendar on or off for the whole device, so what you see
+  and what reminds you can no longer disagree ([#75]).
+
+  Calendars you had switched off in Calendula are switched off here too on first
+  launch. Calendars that were already off — hidden in another calendar app, or
+  never switched on after being added — stay off, and Calendula says so once
+  rather than quietly switching them on for every app on your device; you can
+  turn any of them back on in Settings → Calendars.
+
+  If you gave Calendula read-only access to your calendars, the switch still
+  works: your choice is kept in the app until it can be written.
+
+  The drawer's filter is unchanged and still app-only: hiding a calendar there
+  tidies your view without silencing its reminders.

 Posting happens before marking: a crash in between re-posts silently (same
 tag + `setOnlyAlertOnce`) rather than losing a reminder. Swiped
 notifications never return because `FIRED` rows are never re-queried.

+**One visibility model.** The provider only schedules alarms for calendars with
+`Calendars.VISIBLE = 1`, so that flag *is* the app's on/off switch: Settings →
+Calendars writes it (one calendar per update — `CalendarProvider2` skips its own
+`checkNextAlarm()` reschedule for any selection that isn't `_id=`), and every
+display predicate reads `CalendarSource.isVisibleInSystem`. The reconciliation
+runs one way only: a calendar the user switched off in Calendula is switched off
+in the provider, never the reverse — un-hiding one would reach into every other
+calendar app on the device — and a one-time notice explains the calendars that
+were already off. `CalendarPrefs.pendingDisabledCalendarIds` holds the switch-offs
+the app has not been allowed to write yet (read-only permission grant, or a
+pre-permission launch); `CalendarVisibilityReconciler` drains it entry by entry,
+and until it does, the repository and `ReminderNotifier.post` honour it. That
+gate also covers a snooze re-shown from our own alarm after its calendar was
+switched off. Silencing is not handling: an alert the gate drops keeps its
+`SCHEDULED` state while its event is still ahead (`handledAlertIds`), so
+switching the calendar back on re-posts it (`ReminderRecovery`) instead of
+losing it — the provider's own table is the stash. The drawer's filter sheet
+(`CalendarPrefs.hiddenCalendarIds`) is a separate in-app declutter that never
+touches reminders.

 Deliberately absent until real devices prove it necessary: own alarm
 scheduling, `BOOT_COMPLETED`, snooze/dismiss actions, battery-exemption
 prompts.
