Schedule & Slot Mapping

Schedule & Slot Mapping: Huli -> FHIR R4

Schedule and Slot together expose practitioner (and equipment) availability so a booking client can find an open time before creating an Appointment. Both are read-only; availability is derived from Huli configuration, never written through the FHIR surface. Access is gated by the booking scope system/Appointment.rs (see Terminology).

Schedule

Schedule represents the recurring working hours configured for a practitioner or equipment resource.

Slot

Slot is computed — each Slot is a concrete free interval derived from a Schedule minus existing appointments and blocks. There is no stored Slot row, so Slot supports search-type only (no read by id).
