What and why

The sidebar month picker was painting today and the selected week with accent (cyan on Dark Abyss), which pulled attention off the calendar grid. Selection now uses ink (--text on --background), unselected today is a muted circle, and the week capsule stays the same quiet mix as the in-view band.

The caption under the grid was also showing every shortcut at once. Hover now only advertises I to focus. Focusing the picker reveals up/down arrow keycaps (not the word "Arrows"). After the user presses an arrow, Enter appears as the same kind of keycap so they know to press it. Hint state lives in the caption wrapper so updating it does not reset react-datepicker's keyboard cursor.

Today is an ink circle, not accent
After arrows: Enter keycap and opens it

The cyan week fill and today color were pulling attention off the grid.
Selected days use text-on-background, today is a muted circle, and the
week capsule stays the same quiet hover mix as the in-view band.

Hover only advertises I. Focusing the picker shows up and down arrow
keycaps, and using an arrow then adds Enter as the same kind of keycap.

Updating the caption from MonthPicker re-rendered react-datepicker and
reset its keyboard cursor. Hint focus and arrow stages now live in the
wrapper so the grid keeps its tab stop.

Hardcoded 2026-09-07 10:00 UTC slots become SLOT_UNAVAILABLE once that Monday afternoon starts. Drive the suite from the next UTC Monday so availability stays in the future.
