 ### Added
 
 - Events can now be marked "contact-only" (e.g. baptism) — they appear on the public events list/detail pages with a "Contact us" button (opening a popup with name/phone/email) instead of a Register button, and have no ticket options or registration flow. Configurable from a new toggle in the admin event wizard's Basic Details step.
