Problem

When creating an event, users must specify both start and end dates. For simple single-day events ("Concert on July 20th"), requiring an end date is friction. NIP-52 makes end optional — if omitted, clients should treat the event as ending at the end of the start date (for date-based) or after a reasonable duration (for time-based).

Proposed behavior

Date-based events (kind 31922):

End date optional — if omitted, defaults to same day as start date
NIP-52 spec: "If omitted, the calendar event ends on the same date"

Time-based events (kind 31923):

End time optional — if omitted, default to start + 2 hours (common convention)
Or let user pick a duration (1h, 2h, 3h, all day) instead of an explicit end time

Files to modify

src/modules/activities/components/CreateEventDialog.vue — make end date optional in form schema
src/modules/activities/types/ticket.ts — make event_end_date optional in CreateEventRequest
Backend: ~/dev/shared/extensions/events/models.py — make event_end_date optional in CreateEvent model, default to start date if not provided
