A yearly-repeating period kept the same calendar date instead of the same
weekday: 2026-10-05..10-11 (Mon-Sun) recurred as 2027-10-05..10-11 (Tue-Mon)
rather than 2027-10-04..10-10. The snap added in 224fe7a only ever covered
window_mode == 'fixed'; 'flexible' wishes were unaligned at both stages.
project_window now snaps both modes. A flexible bound is still a bounding
range, but it keeps its weekday alignment year over year with its span held
fixed, so the search space never shrinks and a bound that is exactly as long
as the target (its only candidate) repeats week-shaped.
_rank_candidate gains a Monday-start term between cost and start, so equal-cost
candidates break on week alignment instead of "earliest". It sits after cost
deliberately: a cheaper non-Monday start still wins, because red days outrank
alignment.
_reuse_already_funded_window would otherwise freeze a pre-existing misaligned
placement forever, so it now releases a year whose reuse winner is misaligned
when a fresh search ranks strictly better -- never when one of its days is
pinned or excluded, so a deliberate per-day override always survives.
Migration 008 realigns flexible series already materialised under the old rule;
projection runs once, at create/update, so nothing repairs them on read.
Alongside this, the planner now says when it moved a period to catch red days.
WindowOutcome carries shift_gain_days (the saving over the naive bound-start
placement) and the calendar toasts it, once, on the sync that decided it.
A fixed window is never auto-moved -- its "exact requested placement,
unconditionally" guarantee stands -- but its shift suggestion is no longer
hidden behind a shortfall, so a fully-funded one can surface a cheaper week too.
Editing a period in the popover now also sends window_mode: 'fixed' with a
matching target. Preset chips create flexible wishes; dragging one down to an
exact week left it flexible with a week-long bound, which is the degenerate
single-candidate case that produced the reported dates.

Taking one day out of a period the planner placed did nothing that
lasted: the period still asked for a full week, so the next sync put the
day straight back. The option was disabled rather than lying about it.
A removed day is now recorded as its own thing — no leave for this
parent, this child, this date — and the planner honours it on every
later sync. It is kept apart from the working-day overrides, which
answer a different question about the calendar rather than about the
plan.
The day belongs to the parent whose band was clicked, so removing one
parent's day leaves their partner's alone; where both parents were to be
off on one funding arrangement, the partner is simply funded on their
own instead. A removed day shortens what the period is asking for rather
than counting as a day the plan failed to find, so the advice about
closing a shortfall does not start arguing for a day nobody wants.
Nothing is removed without a way back: the toast undoes it, and the day
itself is marked in the calendar and offers to restore.
