FA-77015 / Calendar recurrence rules / Member archive

Splitting a series for a this-and-following edit: tail start · case 05

The new tail series begins on a date that was never an occurrence.

Case contract

A daily-interval series (dtstart, interval, and either count or until). Editing from 0-based occurrence k splits it: the head keeps occurrences 0..k-1 (count k, or until = its last retained occurrence date) and the tail starts at the original date of occurrence k with new_interval and the remaining count (or the original until). k <= 0 makes the head None; a split at or past the end makes the tail None. Return {"head": [dtstart, count, until] or None, "tail": [start, interval, count, until] or None}.

Why this case matters

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

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
