The prompt

This is the "Next Up" template from Widget Index. Keep it a Next Up panel, titled "Next Up" unless I ask for a different name. Before you build it, ask me only about the parts marked [ask me], one short question at a time, in plain words that fit a Next Up panel, with two or three concrete options each time. Skip anything you can work out yourself or that has an obvious default. Then build it.

Build me a panel on my Home called "Next Up".

What it shows: one sentence with the headline (like "Next launch in 2 days, 6 hours"), then a countdown to the next of [ask me: the event series], followed by the next [ask me: how many] after it, each with [ask me: details for each]. Only include [ask me: which ones count].

Where the data lives: [ask me: where the schedule lives]. Read only: never buy tickets or sign up for anything.

Look: make the face of the panel the design, not a list of numbers. One huge number counting down, with a small pulsing dot to show it's live. Under the visual, one short insight line that tells me what matters right now (like "Then Electron on Oct 17"), with a dot colored by urgency: green fine, gold needs attention, red act now. Dark background, gold #DEAB42 accent, small title. One visual and one insight on the face; any extra detail goes below it, never on top.

Rhythm: refresh every 6 hours, and move the countdown when an event slips. Re-check the source each time and keep only current values; never invent one.
Use: glance; open the event page.
