Parse multi-day Tito events

[alistairjcbrown]

Problem

Transform failed (run):

Error: Failed to parse Tito time: "4pm, October 21stpm"
    at parseTitoTime (sources/ti.to/find-events.js:46:9)

Queer East currently lists two events that span two days, queereast/in-the-mist and queereast/traversing-the-mist. Tito renders their calendar text as:

4pm, October 21st–8pm, October 22nd, 2026

parseCalText assumed a same-day range (2–4:15pm, February 21st, 2026), so it treated 4pm, October 21st as a bare time, added pm and threw. Because every transform job reads the ti.to source, this broke transforms for unrelated venues.

Fix

When the start side carries its own date (contains a comma), parse it as a time plus date, taking the year from the end date. If that puts the start after the end (an event running over New Year), step back one year. Same-day ranges are parsed as before.

Checked by hand under TZ=Europe/London:

Input	Start	End
4pm, October 21st–8pm, October 22nd, 2026	21 Oct 2026 16:00 BST	22 Oct 2026 20:00 BST
2–4:15pm, February 21st, 2026	21 Feb 2026 14:00	21 Feb 2026 16:15
11pm, December 31st–2am, January 1st, 2027	31 Dec 2026 23:00	1 Jan 2027 02:00

npm test -- sources/ti.to, ESLint and Prettier pass.

Notes

• These events come through as one performance at the start time, with a 28-hour duration. They look like installations rather than screenings, so they may want different handling, but they no longer crash the transform.
• No new test case: the existing ti.to recordings only include single-day events. Re-recording against the current Queer East page would cover this format.
