 # Calendar component contract
 
 ## Contract at a glance
 
-| Area                    | Contract                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
-| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| Public contract         | None changes. `Calendar` and `CalendarProps` are exported from `@astryxdesign/core/Calendar`; `mode` selects a single date or a range, with `value`/`defaultValue`/`onChange`, bounds, constraints, span limits, focus date, and display options. |
-| Behavior                | One or two months render as day grids; a day is picked by pointer or keyboard; each month grid holds at most one roving Tab stop, which arrow, Home/End, and Page keys move, following the reading direction.                                     |
-| End-user impact         | A keyboard or screen-reader user meets a named month grid, moves through it by day, week, and month, and hears each day's name, selection, today marker, and disabled state.                                                                      |

-| Review checks           | Reject a day grid without `role="grid"` or a name, two days in one month holding a Tab stop, an arrow key that stops following the reading direction, or a selection or today state carried only by colour.                                       |

+| FR1 | Each rendered month is one `role="grid"` named for its month and year, with a `columnheader` per weekday (and, with week numbers, a named `columnheader` above the `rowheader` column) and one `row` per week. Month and year labels and day names come from the provider locale. Day and week numbers MUST use the locale's digits (`architecture:internationalization` INV8). Implementation gap: they render as ASCII digits in every locale.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         | shipped source and focused tests; `architecture:internationalization` INV8                         |
+| FR2 | At most one day button in each month's grid holds `tabIndex={0}`; every other day button in that grid is `-1`. Each day button is the shared `sm` element size (inside an `md`-sized cell) as a minimum that grows with a set text size (`spec:AST-102` FR4). Implementation gap: the day buttons hold a fixed size.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     | shipped `useGridFocus` behavior; `Calendar.test.tsx` single-Tab-stop assertion; `spec:AST-102` FR4 |
+| FR3 | A disabled day (outside bounds or rejected by a constraint) stays in the grid, stays focusable with `aria-disabled` and no native `disabled`, never holds the grid's Tab stop, and cannot be picked. Implementation gap: once a key move (arrow, Home, End, or Page key) has placed the Tab stop, it stays on that day when every day of the month becomes disabled (for example a range span cap in a two-month view).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  | `spec:AST-085` FR1, FR2; shipped source and focused tests                                          |

A button whose direction would leave `min` or `max` MUST stay focusable with `aria-disabled`, change nothing, and keep focus (`spec:AST-085` FR1, FR4). Implementation gap: it is natively disabled, so a focused button that reaches the bound drops focus.

+## Current-state impact
+
+- **Day and week digits (FR1).** Day and week numbers render as ASCII digits
+  in every locale, while month labels follow the locale, against
+  `architecture:internationalization` INV8.
+- **Stale Tab stop (FR3, AR1).** After a key move places the Tab stop, a later
+  pointer pick can leave it there (always when the picked day comes later in
+  the grid), and when every day of that month becomes disabled it stays on a
+  disabled day, so Tab can land on an unselected or disabled day.
+- **Month buttons under reduced motion (FR6).** The Previous and Next buttons
+  scale on a press when the person prefers reduced motion, as `component:Button`
+  FR15 records, against `design:reduced-motion` DR1.
+- **Fixed day size (FR2).** Day buttons hold a fixed size instead of growing
+  with a set text size, against `spec:AST-102` FR4.
+- **Month buttons at a bound (FR6).** Previous and Next become natively
+  disabled at `min` and `max`, so a keyboard user on the button that reaches the
+  bound loses focus, against `spec:AST-085` FR1 and FR4.
 
 ## Decision log
 
-None. This draft records shipped behavior; the Grid adoption follows the system
-rule rather than a component-local decision.
+No component-local decision. The Grid adoption follows `spec:AST-020/FR15`.

-| Behavior                | An edge scroll button whose direction has run out is hidden and takes no tab stop. When the focused edge button runs out, focus moves to the scroll area.                                                                                                                          |
-| End-user impact         | A keyboard user who scrolls to the first or last item stays inside the carousel instead of landing on the page body or on an invisible control. The scroll area has no role or name yet, so screen-reader users hear little at the destination until it meets `spec:AST-025` FR12. |
