FA-76972 / Calendar recurrence rules / Member archive

Merging RRULE instances with RDATE and EXDATE: count vs exdate · case 02

Excluding one instance of a COUNT=5 series pushes a sixth instance onto the calendar.

Member previewVariant 2 · 3 implementations · 7 checks per implementation

Case contract

All-day series: the rule yields exactly count instances dtstart + k*interval days (COUNT counts rule instances before exclusions; RDATEs never consume COUNT). The instance set is rule plus RDATE minus EXDATE; EXDATE also removes RDATEs. EXDATE values may carry a time part (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS) and then exclude their calendar date. Return the unique dates sorted ascending.

Why this case matters

Recurring calendar series are expanded into concrete instances for display, reminders and conflict checks.
