Proposes replacing Calendar, DatePicker and RangePicker with a single subcomposed root that owns every piece of state explicitly — selection, view month, popover open, scale, validity — and exposes every surface as a dot-notation part.

Description

Adds docs/rfcs/005-calendar-preview.md. Docs only — no component code in this PR.

The calendar family is the only part of Apsara that never adopted the composition contract. The RFC argues every recurring bug is downstream of that, and proposes CalendarPreview: one export, dot-notation parts, value/onValueChange + open/onOpenChange, react-day-picker isolated behind one file.

Five problems account for it — each a question about who owns what, not about rendering:

Problem today Proposed fix
Open state is private, so dismissal can't go to Base UI — 185 lines of bespoke popover code, and captionLayout='dropdown' is off by default because the Selects it mounts loop on unmount open/defaultOpen/onOpenChange on the root; use-picker-popover.ts deleted
No composition contract — three flat exports, zero sub-parts; slotProps, children-as-function and onErrorChange appear nowhere else in the library One root, every surface a part, zero slotProps
RDP's prop union is the public API — it leaks, props.ts is a hand-maintained mirror that has drifted, and spread-last is unsatisfiable in the pickers RDP reaches only .Grid, driven by derived props
Date identity churn is load-bearing — three biome-ignores plus a fourth effect left unguarded, and dayjs.extend() in four modules in an import order enforced by a comment (the 0.49.0 P0) dayKey()/epoch() internally; one date-adapter.ts
Coarser-than-day selection has no home — a Date can't say whether it means "August 2026" or "1 August 2026", and cells and chips render it with no calendar mounted ScaleValue — the value carries its own scale

The new capability

Selection at scales coarser than a day — month, quarter, half-year, year — with the scale carried by the value rather than inferred from a prop:

interface ScaleValue {
  date: string;   // 'YYYY-MM-DD', timeless
  scale: 'day' | 'month' | 'quarter' | 'halfYear' | 'year';
}

scale is the view that is open; value.scale is what the committed value means. They differ while the user browses, a prop can't say what a stored date meant after a reload, and one object makes an inconsistent pair unrepresentable. trailingValue picks which edge of the period is emitted (a start field emits 1 Aug, an end field 31 Aug — and February 2028 trailing is 2028-02-29), and availability is judged on the date a period would produce, so one period can be selectable in a start field and disabled in an end field. The period maths lands as pure functions in lib/, tested before any UI.

Behavioural breaks a codemod cannot find

  • Ranges emit only on completion. to is no longer nullable; anyone relying on the first-click event loses it
  • Bounds limit selection, not navigation. minDate/maxDate disable out-of-range periods; the view still moves. A deliberate change from startMonth/endMonth
  • A read-only endpoint needs a value. readOnly on one .Input replaces lock gating the whole picker
  • mode="multiple" is removed. Calendar accepts mode="multiple" with selected: Date[] today — shipped, documented public API — and v1 has no equivalent. This is a removal of shipped surface, not an unbuilt feature; the RFC gates it on a consumer search before the deletion phase. Flagging it here so it isn't a surprise at release-notes time

Every call site also becomes a composition, because the pre-composed recipes were cut.

Findings turned up while writing it

Each is cited in Appendix B — to types, named effects, source comments and changelog headings rather than line numbers, so the citations survive the next merge from main.

Where Finding
date-picker.tsx Unguarded effect loops on an inline defaultMonth; its three siblings were hardened, this one missed
range-picker.tsx RangePickerProps/RangePickerSlotProps unexported and in no barrel — consumers can't type a wrapper, yet the docs render its type table
props.ts Types slotProps.calendar as the full docs CalendarProps, including mode/selected/onSelect/footer, none of which the real slot type accepts. Five of the six deprecated props are missing from it entirely
CHANGELOG.md Claims a DataView filterProps.calendar slot that was never built — data-view.types.tsx has only { select? }
filter-chip.tsx Shallow slotProps.input merge silently drops the chip's container class; two CSS rules reach at Input hashed classes that appear nowhere in the repo and are dead code
calendar.module.css Three Todo: var does not exist markers, a hardcoded max-height: 260px, eight var(--rs-space-10, 40px) fallbacks — and no interactive playground in demo.ts, which 54 of 69 components have
lockfile date-fns and @date-fns/tz already ship unconditionally via RDP and are peered by Base UI; dayjs is a second date implementation we pay for twice, so the adapter is built on date-fns
Base UI 1.6/1.7 No date component, but internals/temporal plus date-fns and Luxon adapters exist — date-adapter.ts is shaped to that surface, so adopting theirs later is a one-file swap

Breaking, no shim: the new component ships alongside, the old family is removed one release later. Seven phases; the three migrated components reach parity before the scale surface is built, so the scale model ships second even though it is specified first. Four open items for review — the scales discriminator typing, .Picker's name, whether selection='multiple' must ship before the deletion, and how the break gets announced given there is no changesets setup.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Documentation update
  • Refactor (no functional changes, no bug fixes just code improvements)
  • Chore (changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries such as documentation generation)
  • Style (changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, etc))
  • Test (adding missing tests or correcting existing tests)
  • Improvement (Improvements to existing code)
  • Other (please specify)

Docs-only PR, so nothing here is breaking. The change it proposes is breaking and includes a removal of shipped public API (mode="multiple") — noted above so the label isn't a surprise later.

How Has This Been Tested?

No code, so nothing to run. The RFC's claims were verified instead, and re-verified against the current branch:

Claim How
Every citation in Appendix B Re-checked against the working tree — line counts, the three biome-ignores, the unguarded effect, the six refs and three suppression branches in use-picker-popover.ts, the 23 data-slots, the dead FilterChip CSS, the CSS token violations, the 54-of-69 playground count, and the two tests behind each of the dayjs P0 and the partial-disable gate
Dependency versions npm registry + pnpm-lock.yaml, checked today: manifest, lockfile and latest all match the RFC's table
RDP v10 union unchanged Diffed the 9.6.7 and 10.0.1 tarballs — types/selection.d.ts gained JSDoc only, so the upgrade does not by itself fix the union. v10 also drops date-fns-jalali and goes from 16 @deprecated props to zero, none of which we reference, and keeps the DayButton/Weekday/MonthGrid slots the RFC binds to
Base UI has no date primitive Enumerated its exports at 1.6.0 and 1.7.0 — ./internals/temporal, ./internals/temporal-adapter-date-fns, ./internals/temporal-adapter-luxon, no top-level date component. 1.7.0 pins @base-ui/utils at exactly 0.3.2

Checklist:

  • My code follows the style guidelines of this project
  • I have performed a self-review of my own code
  • I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas — every claim backed in Appendix B
  • I have made corresponding changes to the documentation (.mdx files) — this PR is the doc; component .mdx lands with the implementation
  • My changes generate no new warnings
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works — N/A, no code; acceptance criteria are in the RFC's Testing section

Screenshots (if appropriate):

N/A — no visual change.

Related Issues

Prior art #819 — the coordinated overhaul this RFC argues was necessary but not sufficient
Lands with the rewrite FilterChip rewrite, DataView filterProps.calendar slot, filter-operationsdate-adapter.ts
No longer independent react-day-picker → 10.0.1 should land before phase 2 — not because it fixes the union (it doesn't), but because .Day/.Weekday bind to RDP's component-override slots and .Grid runs with hideNavigation, so those names must be pinned to whichever major ships
Independent @base-ui/react~1.7.0 (moves @base-ui/utils to 0.3.2 with it)

Proposes replacing Calendar, DatePicker, and RangePicker with a single
subcomposed root that owns date and popover state explicitly and exposes
every surface as a dot-notation part.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The RFC redesigns CalendarPreview around scale-aware values and five sibling scale views. It replaces legacy recipes and parts with composable picker, panel, navigation, scale, and field parts. It changes selection, range completion, bounds, and state contracts. It moves date handling to date-fns with timezone support and isolates the RDP grid integration. It also documents breaking changes, slot and prop migrations, implementation phases, testing requirements, open items, alternatives, and supporting evidence.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d2d9b

This RFC does not change current component behavior, but several proposed selection, reset, clear, draft-state, and keyboard-opening contracts are inconsistent or incomplete. Resolving them before approval will prevent incorrect range values and inaccessible picker behavior in the eventual implementation.

@Shreyag02 can you make the RFC a bit more concise? Currently it feels bloated and hard to understand.

Shreyag02 and others added 2 commits August 27, 2026 12:03
Addresses review feedback that the RFC read as bloated and hard to
follow, and that design-side material did not belong in it.

Trim: 694 -> 548 lines, 6.3k -> 5.3k words. Background's eight numbered
subsections become bold-lead paragraphs matching RFC 004's style; the
Scorecard table collapses to one paragraph; Dependencies, the data-slot
mapping, Conventions, and Alternatives lose restatement without losing
claims. The API surface, migration map, implementation plan, and open
items are unchanged - those are what reviewers act on.

Remove: the Design Blockers section, phase 0 (design unblock), and every
Figma reference. The only engineering residue, "CSS uses --rs-* tokens
only", already lives in the testing checklist.

Citations: replace all 49 file:line references with symbol, comment, and
rule names that survive edits and merges - types (DatePickerSlotProps),
named effects (the setViewMonth effect), source comments, lint reasons,
CSS rules, and changelog version headings instead of line spans.

Fix nine claims that were wrong or stale, six of them predating this
change:
- two CHANGELOG line refs pointed at the lucide section after main merged
- Object.assign precedent said 45 occurrences, now 46 and stated durably
- only two of three biome-ignores are about Date identity; the third
  covers callback identity
- the popover hook's six refs are two DOM handles, two flags, and two
  identity mirrors, not four shadows
- props.ts omits five of six deprecated props, not four, and names them
  in prose rather than dropping them
- the props.ts mirror is the CalendarProps block, not "137 lines"
- date-fns is a hard dependency of react-day-picker and an optional peer
  of @base-ui/react
- the slot rename table was missing date-picker-input and
  range-picker-footer, both prefix changes; all 23 slots now accounted for
- the mechanisms table quoted a Popover snippet that is not in the source

Every remaining reference was verified against the branch: 48 of 48
cited symbols found in the files they name.

Thanks — trimmed it down: 694 → 548 lines, 6.3k → 5.3k words.

  • Background is now bold-lead paragraphs matching RFC 004's style, and the Scorecard table folded into a single paragraph.
  • Design material is out: Design Blockers, phase 0, and every Figma reference. The one engineering residue (CSS uses --rs-* tokens only) already lives in the testing checklist.
  • Dependencies, the data-slot mapping, Conventions, and Alternatives lost restatement rather than claims.
  • Citations no longer use line numbers — they point at types, named effects, source comments, and changelog version headings, so they don't rot on the next merge from main.

Also fixed the stale citations and slot-table gaps along the way; every reference is now verified against the branch.

The API surface, migration map, implementation plan, and open items are unchanged.

Current Problems becomes a 12-row problem / evidence / answer map, so
every complaint states its fix. Root prop rationale, repo follow-ups,
open items, and alternatives move to tables too; the parts table gains a
Parent column; the file layout collapses its per-part rows.

Three cells ran 47-90 words, which markdown tables cannot reflow - those
keep the row terse and carry their detail in prose below (what the 185
lines contain, why spread-last is unsatisfiable, how FilterChip absorbs
it). Same treatment for the dependency findings and goals. Longest table
cell is now 53 words, down from 90.

New findings verified in source: the popover hook returns a setIsOpen
neither picker calls; onOpenChange carries three suppression branches;
eight keys are pinned after the consumer spread, three of them reachable
through slotProps.calendar via RDP's PropsBase; and FilterChip's two
[class*="..."] rules are dead - Input renders no helper-text or
error-wrapper element, and neither string appears anywhere else in the
repo. Follow-up fixes now cite PRs #821, #827, #881; the react-day-picker
comparison names all 41 class-name keys (UI 24, DayFlag 5,
SelectionState 4, Animation 8).

Restores the part-tree diagram, which the Parent column encodes but does
not show, and corrects the Base UI temporal adapter surface to ~80
members beyond the eight named.

694 -> 518 lines, 6.3k -> 5.1k words. 64 of 64 claims re-verified against
the branch; no line-number citations remain.

`.Nav` renders no `Select`. The design navigates with a caption and icon
buttons, which retires the `captionLayout` bug rather than working around
it. The two dropdown `data-slot`s retire with it, so 23 old slots now map
to 18, and the `captionLayout` migration row becomes a removal.

Qualify the conventions table: recipes are the one thing here with no
precedent — nothing in the library hangs a pre-composed assembly off a
root. New open items for that and for `.Nav`'s third button.

1. Rename granularity to scale

Matches TimelineScale in DataView — one word across the library.

type Scale = 'day' | 'month' | 'quarter' | 'halfYear' | 'year';

scale?: Scale;                      // controlled active scale
defaultScale?: Scale;
onScaleChange?: (scale: Scale) => void;
scales?: Scale | Scale[];           // supported scales; single value hides the switcher

2. The value must carry its own scale

value?: Date | null makes "August 2026" and "1 August 2026" the same value. It needs to be a date/scale pair:

interface DateValue {
  date: string;   // 'YYYY-MM-DD', timeless
  scale: Scale;
}

value?: DateValue | null;
defaultValue?: DateValue | null;
onValueChange?: (value: DateValue | null, details: ChangeDetails) => void;

It can't come from the scale prop — that's the view that's open, value.scale is what the committed value means. They differ the whole time the user is browsing another scale; after a reload the prop can't say what a stored date meant; and consumers render the value with no calendar mounted (FilterChip text, DataView filters), where there's no prop to read. Separate value and scale props can also be set inconsistently — one object makes that unrepresentable.

Use 'YYYY-MM-DD' strings, not Date. new Date('2026-08-01') is UTC midnight and renders as 31 July in negative offsets, and Date identity churn is what the biome-ignores and the setViewMonth loop already are. Convert once, inside the grid, where react-day-picker needs it.

3. Add trailingValue

trailingValue?: boolean;   // default false

"August 2026" stores 2026-08-01 on a start field and 2026-08-31 on an end field — same for quarter, half-year and year. It decides which date we emit, so it belongs in the value contract and can't be added later without changing what call sites receive. Month-end must be calendar-correct: Feb 2028 trailing is 2028-02-29.

Unrelated to lock='from' | 'to', which is about range endpoints.

4. Draft state

The state table is missing the draft. Without it, switching scale either emits — writing on what the user sees as a preview — or does nothing until Apply.

State Source Emitted
value controlled prop, else internal on commit
draft scale switch or typing; null when clean never
scale controlled, else follows value or typed input onScaleChange
viewMonth controlled, else draft ?? value ?? today onMonthChange

Switching scale or typing sets the draft and moves the view without emitting. Clicking a cell or pressing Enter commits. Escape drops the draft and restores the input from value.

5. Define the scale conversion rule

Currently unspecified. One rule covers every direction:

Take the anchor date. Find the period of the target scale containing it. Emit that period's start when leading, its end when trailing.

convertScale(value, to, trailing) {
  return { date: anchorOf(periodOf(value.date, to), trailing), scale: to };
}

Availability is the same rule — a cell is available when the date it would produce falls inside [min, max]. With a start of 15 Jul 2026 an end picker disables H1 2026 (ends 30 Jun) but keeps Q3 2026 (ends 30 Sep). isDateUnavailable(date: Date) as typed can't express that.

Build this as pure functions in lib/, tested before any UI: leap years, month-end snapping, period boundaries, round trips on both edges.

6. onValueChange needs details

interface ChangeDetails {
  reason: 'select' | 'input' | 'clear' | 'scale';
  period: { start: string; end: string };
  toDate: () => Date;
}

Without period every consumer re-derives the span by hand and gets month-end wrong. period doesn't depend on trailingValue, so a consumer that ignores the edge still gets the right span.

7. One view part per scale, not one .MonthGrid

A single part switched by a root prop can't render only the quarter view, and the four views need different layouts — 3 / 4 / 2 / 1 columns, and the year view has no year headings.

DataView already does this: .List, .Timeline and .Custom are sibling view parts on one root, each self-gating with

const isActive = !name || activeView === undefined || activeView === name;

Mount one alone and it always renders; mount several and the switcher picks. Use .Days, .Months, .Quarters, .HalfYears, .Years.

.MonthGrid needs renaming anyway — it collides with react-day-picker's own MonthGrid slot and with today's data-slot="calendar-month-grid", which means the day table.

8. .Nav.Header, with subparts

.Nav only applies to the day scale, and align as its only prop makes a custom header impossible.

<Calendar.Header>
  <Calendar.PrevMonth />
  <Calendar.Title />
  <Calendar.Reset />
  <Calendar.NextMonth />
</Calendar.Header>

.Header composes these by default, so the common case doesn't get longer. It sits outside the grid, with react-day-picker on hideNavigation.

The third button is a reset — return the view to the anchor month, shown only once the view has drifted. Different from a "Today" jump in the footer; both can exist.

9. .Input mounts anywhere under the root

Not just inside .Trigger. The design puts it inside the popup, above the scale switcher. Use a field prop rather than .RangeInput with startProps / endProps:

<Calendar.Input field="start" />
<Calendar.Input field="end" />

startProps / endProps is slotProps renamed, against the stated zero-slotProps goal, and it stops you putting anything between the two inputs or rendering only one. Same for .Grid's dayProps — that should be a .Day part on react-day-picker's DayButton slot.

10. View props go on views

Move down: numberOfMonths.Days; fixedWeeks, showOutsideDays, showWeekNumber, weekStartsOn, modifiers.Grid; onValidityChange.Input.

Add to root: yearRange (which years the period views cover), today (deterministic tests and playground), clearable.

open / defaultOpen / onOpenChange stay on the root, matching Dialog / Popover / Menu — inert when no .Trigger / .Content is mounted, which is what makes the inline calendar the same component rather than a mode.

Proposed structure — additions to the part tree

.Trigger, .Content, .Grid and .Footer stay as proposed, so there's no separate picker component. Everything marked below is an addition or a rename on top of that tree.

<Calendar>                              {/* value · draft · scale · view · bounds */}
  <Calendar.Trigger />                  {/* omit Trigger + Content for inline */}
  <Calendar.Content>
    <Calendar.Label />                  {/* new */}
    <Calendar.Input field="end" />      {/* moves — anywhere under the root */}
    <Calendar.Scales />                 {/* renamed from .GranularityTabs */}
    <Calendar.Separator />              {/* new */}

    <Calendar.Panel>                    {/* new — no children renders the views below */}
      <Calendar.Days>                   {/* new */}
        <Calendar.Header>               {/* renamed from .Nav */}
          <Calendar.PrevMonth /> <Calendar.Title />      {/* new */}
          <Calendar.Reset />     <Calendar.NextMonth />  {/* new */}

.Presets, .Preset and .TimeField stay as proposed and are left out above only to keep the tree short. .Apply / .Cancel go with commit.

Every part renders its own default with no children, so composition is opt-in depth. The tree above collapses to:

<Calendar value={target} onValueChange={setTarget} min={start} trailingValue>
  <Calendar.Trigger />
  <Calendar.Content />
</Calendar>

Inline, day grid only:

<Calendar scales="day"><Calendar.Panel /></Calendar>

Quarter-only — no day grid mounted, no switcher rendered:

<Calendar scales="quarter" trailingValue>
  <Calendar.Trigger />
  <Calendar.Content><Calendar.Quarters /></Calendar.Content>
</Calendar>

.Scales renders every scale in scales on its own. .Scale is only for relabelling or reordering:

<Calendar.Scales>
  <Calendar.Scale value="quarter">Quarterly</Calendar.Scale>
</Calendar.Scales>

Root prop changes

Everything else the RFC proposes stays as it is — format, timeZone, open / defaultOpen / onOpenChange, disabled, readOnly, selection, lock. These are the props that change:

// changed shape
value?: DateValue | null;
defaultValue?: DateValue | null;
onValueChange?: (value: DateValue | null, details: ChangeDetails) => void;

// changed type — 'YYYY-MM-DD' strings, was Date
minDate?: string;  maxDate?: string;
isDateUnavailable?: (date: string) => boolean;
month?: string;  defaultMonth?: string;
onMonthChange?: (month: string) => void;

// renamed
scales?: Scale | Scale[];                 // was granularities; default all five
scale?: Scale;                            // was granularity
defaultScale?: Scale;
onScaleChange?: (scale: Scale) => void;

// added
trailingValue?: boolean;                  // default false
yearRange?: { from: number; to: number };
today?: string;
clearable?: boolean;

// removed from the root
// commit           — see #4
// weekStartsOn     — moves to .Grid
// onValidityChange — moves to .Input

onOpenChange should forward Base UI's typed event details rather than redeclaring { reason?: string }.

Part props

Part Props
.Trigger render, Popover.Trigger props
.Content side, align, Popover.Content props
.Days numberOfMonths
.Grid fixedWeeks, showOutsideDays, showWeekNumber, weekStartsOn, modifiers, components
.Input field, placeholder (a DateValue), onValidityChange, Input props
.Scale value, render
view parts name, columns, render
every part render, className, ref, data-slot, children ?? default

Every part should take render — the house pattern in composition.md, currently on 4 of 13 — and children should override context-computed content the way Tour.Title does, so <Calendar.Title>Q3 2026</Calendar.Title> works. That also removes the need for the pre-composed recipes. Please add a useCalendar() hook like useTour() so consumers can build parts we didn't ship.

Smaller points

  • Add state data-* attributes alongside data-slot: data-selected, data-draft, data-unavailable, data-today, data-outside, data-scale. Slots say what an element is, not what state it's in, and custom cells need something to style against.
  • The DataView filterProps.calendar gap is real but should be separate from this.

Thank you for the detailed review — it's reshaped the RFC, and I've rewritten rather than patched. Where each point landed:

  1. scale — agreed, your type as written, halfYear in code with "Half-year" as the label. Added a docs note that the value set differs from DataView's TimelineScale, which has week and stops at quarter.

  2. Value shape — adopted for the new input; Date stays on the migrated three. The scale input takes { date, scale } with toDate() as you proposed. Keeping Date on Calendar / DatePicker / RangePicker does leave your concern unaddressed for those — UTC-midnight rendering and identity churn stay in their public surface — but ISO strings break FilterChip and DataTable's filter types and the migration stops being mechanical. Logged as an accepted cost with a follow-up for a future major. One consequence: scales defaults to 'day', since that's what discriminates the two shapes.

  3. trailingValue — adopted. Root prop, default false; start emits the period's first day, end its last, month-end correct.

  4. Draft state — adopted. A scale switch moves the view and sets a draft; nothing emits until a pick or Enter, and Escape drops it.

  5. Conversion and availability — adopted, as tested pure functions in lib/. Availability tests the date a period would produce, so a period can be selectable for a start and disabled for an end — which I read as the point of your 15 July example.

  6. toDate() in; period still owed. In the rewrite.

  7. View parts — adopted. .Days / .Months / .Quarters / .HalfYears / .Years, self-gating like DataView's. .MonthGrid and its RDP slot collision both gone.

  8. .Header split — adopted, two things I read differently. The third button is a value reset rather than a view reset: it restores defaultDate and renders only when that's set and the selection differs. And the caption month/year dropdown stays on the standalone calendar — our own two-column scroller, no Select, so the unmount loop can't return. Happy to walk the frames if that reading looks off.

  9. .Input placement — same problem, different solution. Start and end are independent single-value roots, each with its own scale, since the design has Aug 1st → Q3 2026. No startProps / endProps; lock becomes per-input readOnly.

  10. View props and part API — adopted in full, including useCalendar(), which matters more now that the pre-composed recipes are cut entirely.

Beyond your review: commit / .Apply / .Cancel gone (commit on pick, Enter, blur, outside click); .Presets / .Preset / .TimeField out of v1, no design for any; format?: string replaced by a formatter function. Ranges emit only on completion, so to is no longer nullable. multiple parked. State data-* attributes still outstanding.

One offer: a few of the conventions you pointed at — state attributes, consumer hooks, children-override, sibling view parts — aren't in composition.md. Happy to write that section from this review if it'd help.

The body is now the proposal alone. Evidence moves to Appendix B and the
implementation reference — part props, file layout, slot map, prop
migration — to Appendix A, so the argument reads without them.

- Condense the twelve problems to the five ownership questions that
  actually drive the rewrite
- Add the scale model: `ScaleValue` carries its own scale, `trailingValue`
  picks the period edge, and availability is judged on the date a period
  would produce
- Rework the parts into five sibling view parts under `.Panel`, drop the
  pre-composed recipes, `.Nav`, presets and time-of-day
- Back the date adapter with date-fns rather than dayjs — RDP already
  depends on it, so dayjs is a pure addition
- Cut `selection='multiple'` from v1 and record it as a removal of shipped
  surface, not an unbuilt feature
- Verify every dependency version against the lockfile and the registry

Also fixes three inconsistencies found rechecking the draft: `commit` was
listed as moving to a part when the RFC drops it outright; `required` is
pinned after the consumer spread but not always to `true`; and five of the
six deprecated props are missing from `props.ts` entirely rather than
merely unmarked.

### Period edges

`trailingValue` on the root selects which edge is emitted. Default `false`.

Use one rule for the emitted period edge.

trailingValue says the root selects the leading or trailing edge, but the next rule says a start field always emits the first day and an end field always emits the last day. A range root can expose both fields, so these rules can produce different results for the same root. Define whether field overrides trailingValue, or make the edge selection per field. Otherwise, range values and bounds can persist the wrong period edge.

Make .Reset selection-arm aware.

defaultDate?: Date cannot represent the reset target for ScaleValue because it has no scale, or for DateRangeValue because it has no from or to. .Reset is documented as a value reset, so it cannot restore every value shape defined by the RFC. Use a selection-shaped reset value, or limit .Reset to a documented subset.

Define the clear interaction and callback shape.

clearable and ChangeDetails.reason = 'clear' are public, but the parts and commit table define no clear action. If clearing emits onValueChange(null, details), the required period and toDate(): Date fields have no valid value. Add a documented clear action and a reason-specific details arm, or remove the prop and callback reason.

Expose the draft promised by useCalendar().

The state table says the draft is readable from useCalendar(), but the hook contract lists only value, scale, view month, setters, and availability. Custom parts cannot implement the promised draft styling without a documented draft field and shape. Add draft to the public return type, or remove the hook-access promise.

- In the rewrite: `.Trigger` owns opening, `.Input` never calls `setOpen` from a focus handler, and focus-to-open arrives as a Base UI trigger option rather than a second handler
- **Phase 2 does not exit until that is demonstrated in a real browser** — jsdom is what let the original regression through

Keep an explicit focus-to-open path.

@base-ui/react@1.6.0 Popover.Trigger uses click interaction and exposes no focus-open option. If the rewrite removes DatePicker’s .Input onFocus path, keyboard focus will not open the picker. Keep an explicit focus handler and test focus, click, and controlled-open behavior in a real browser before completing Phase 2.
