An early projector/client path treated a multi-day envelope as daily coverage and separately filtered ongoing timed intervals by exact start, producing incorrect Today/Weekend membership and stale urgency. The corrected contract distinguishes date-only, timed, continuous, and unknown coverage; unknown legacy envelopes expose date inquiry instead of claiming every intervening day. INFERENCE: a series envelope is an availability claim, not a list of sessions. RECOMMENDATION: model explicit occurrences and coverage semantics before implementing date filters, reminders, calendars, or urgency.
