What the two agenda-modification listeners share: unwrapping the broadcast, resolving the propagation service, and refusing to run outside a container.

Glue only, per the extensibility norm. Nothing here decides anything about a calendar copy — which modifications matter, who holds a copy, what is written and what is removed all live in CaldavEventPropagationService. Two subclasses exist rather than one class switching on the event name, because "the meeting changed" and "the meeting is gone" are two different instructions to a calendar and reading them apart is worth two files.

Why asynchronous

Same reason as CalendarCreatedListener and EventResponseSavedListener: agenda raises these inside the transaction that saves the edit. Talking to one calendar server there would hold a database transaction open across a network round trip; talking to fifty would let the slowest of fifty unrelated accounts decide whether somebody can move a meeting.

The container the asynchronous thread runs in

It has one, and that is not incidental. The kernel wraps an @Asynchronous listener in its own RunListener, which does ExoContainerContext.setCurrentContainer(container) and RequestLifeCycle.begin(container) before calling onEvent (kernel, ListenerService.java:241-242). That is what makes the transactional write recording what was pushed actually commit — outside a container it fails as a warning nobody reads.

It is checked rather than assumed — with getCurrentContainerIfPresent(), which answers null rather than building a root container out of a check — because the failure it guards against is silent by construction, and because the guarantee holds only for as long as the work stays on this thread. Nothing below here may start a thread of its own: a fan-out onto an executor would leave the container behind and reintroduce exactly the silent failure. The fan-out is therefore sequential, on this thread, by design and not by omission.
