    Fix the range expansion itself. days_between, business_days and split_months all build on date_range, so one change resolves every failure.

    Close out with the cause, not just the change.

    summary
    date_range iterated range(span) instead of range(span + 1), so the end date was excluded from every inclusive range. Fixed in date_range, which also resolves days_between and business_days. Full suite passes.

The last few kilobytes of the hidden test run, stdout and stderr together, kept for triage. The agent never saw this.

Results that cannot be reproduced are not results. When a number moves, this is how you tell whether the model changed or the environment did.
