Fixes #3616587.

Problem/Motivation

This recipe already reshapes views.view.events — owned by the third-party drupal/events recipe — and contributes a related block display through a config action. What it did not contribute is a small "upcoming events" display, the obvious companion for a homepage or sidebar panel.

Without one, a site template defines it itself. Educare did exactly that, carrying ~300 lines of events-view configuration in its own recipe.yml, unavailable to any other consumer of this recipe.

Proposed resolution

Add a latest block display to the existing views.view.events config action, beside related:

  • three upcoming events, no pager
  • text_card_medium view mode, already bound to field_when so each card carries its date
  • single column, so it fits a narrow slot

Component ids are the base theme's (vartheme_bs5:), matching the displays this recipe already declares. A vartheme_bs5 site works as shipped; a site template with its own theme repoints them through setViewsComponentStyleTheme.

Testing

Verified on a fresh Varbase 11 install of the Educare site template, which consumes this recipe:

  • the display arrives from this recipe and is repointed automatically to vartheme_bs5_educare:views-view-grid
  • it renders three real, distinct upcoming events with their dates
  • 0 render errors across all 12 site pages
  • a prop audit over every Canvas content template — 608 values, 24 templates — reports 0 invalid values

Diff is +306 / −0, purely additive.
