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.
