~intervals overlap — not separated from no change

Given an injected "current date," the model computes relative dates/intervals incorrectly. The rule

expected as of 2026-08-09

From 2026-01-30, 30 days later is 2026-03-01 (1 March 2026). Crossing February in a non-leap year.

never pooled · a trap ratio would skew the delta

Residual — what survives

10% with no context, 3% under the best supplied source. What survives is 1 failing probe at that best condition, the detector's reason on most of them being: expected 2026-03-01.

Mitigations from the index — the claim
  • date libraries via tools
  • explicit date arithmetic
