Build me a booking system for a business that sells appointments, not for one person's meetings.

STACK
- Astro with a Node adapter, SQLite via better-sqlite3
- Stripe for deposits, SMTP for mail

SERVICES AND STAFF
- A service has a name, duration, price, deposit percentage and an intake form
- A staff member has working hours, holidays and the services they can deliver
- Availability is the intersection of staff hours, service duration and existing bookings

THE BOOKING PAGE
- Pick service, then staff or "anyone", then a slot; three steps, each server-rendered
- Slots shown in the visitor's timezone with a visible picker
- Hold a slot for ten minutes while the form and payment are completed, and release it automatically

MONEY
- Deposit via Stripe Checkout, amount computed on the server
- A cancellation window in the service config: inside it, no refund; outside it, an automatic one
- Every payment and refund stored append-only

PACKAGES
- A package is a number of prepaid sessions attached to a client, decremented on attendance
- Never let a package go negative; refuse the booking instead

CLIENTS
- One record per email address, with booking history and intake answers attached
- Notes are append-only, timestamped, and never overwritten

REMINDERS
- Email 24 hours before, sent by a cron job safe to run twice
- Leave SMS as a documented adapter, unimplemented

Include a README on timezone handling, the Stripe webhook, and how to add a service.
