Case contract

Input {anchor [y,m,d] (any pay date), step 7|14 days, year}. Pay dates are anchor + k*step for all integers k. Return [count of pay dates within Jan 1..Dec 31 of year inclusive, ISO date of the first one, whether the count exceeds the nominal periods (26 biweekly, 52 weekly)].

Why this case matters

Annualization factors change in 27-pay-period years; missing or extra pay dates distort per-period withholding.
