Calendar tray icon: make today's date large and readable

Owner report (2026-10-05, production): "the date is barely visible here"

Follow-up to #1095. In the mode tray the Calendar icon draws today's date as a tiny number inside a full calendar outline (top bar and binding rings), so at tray size the "5" is a few pixels tall and hard to read. Owner reference: the Apple Calendar app icon, where the date number is the dominant element (a large, heavy numeral) with only a small weekday label above it.

Expected

The date numeral is the main shape of the icon: as large as the icon body allows (cap height about 55–60% of the icon box), semibold/bold, centred, crisp at 1x and 2x, readable at a glance. Two digits ("28") must fit without shrinking below the one-digit size by more than a small step.
Reduce the calendar frame to a minimal hint (e.g. a thin top bar or the rounded box only); drop the binding rings at small sizes if they crowd the number.
Same glyph wherever ModeIcon renders Calendar (tray, sidebar, palette Navigate, Settings), same stroke weight family as the other mode icons, uses currentColor/tokens; selected and unselected states keep contrast ≥ 3:1 for the numeral.
Updates at midnight and on resume.

Evidence

4x crops of the tray Calendar icon next to Tasks/Notes at 390/820/1440, light + dark, unselected and selected, with dates 5 and 28.

Starting #1144 on branch job/traydate-1144. Base SHA: 04afb0043c. I am locating the shared ModeIcon implementation and checking its existing date refresh behavior before changing the glyph.

Gate finding after merging origin/dev at f2a34dd6e9: bun run check stopped in its first perf-lint --check step. The exception ledger is over its ratchet by 1 in 13 rules (21,977 total exceptions vs a 21,964 ceiling). This branch did not edit the performance exception ledger. The production UI build and focused Calendar icon tests pass; I am recording the gate failure for the merge round.

Built

Updated the shared Calendar glyph. The numeral is now bold and large, uses currentColor, and sits in a lighter frame without binding rings. Two-digit days keep the same font height and use SVG width adjustment to fit.
Kept the shared local-day clock. It still updates at midnight and refreshes on focus, page show, and visibility return.

Files

packages/ui/src/components/ModeIcon.svelte
packages/ui/src/components/modeIconPaths.ts
apps/web/src/lib/modeIcon.svelte.test.ts

UX gaps closed

The date was hard to read in the Tab Bar. The shared glyph now gives it the visual priority, in selected and unselected states.
One and two-digit days use the same font size. Tests cover days 5 and 28, midnight rollover, and refresh on focus.

UX gaps left

None found in the Calendar glyph scope.

Decisions

DESIGN §34 does not define the Calendar glyph details. I kept the rounded frame and one divider as the calendar hint, removed the binding rings, and set the numeral to 18 viewBox units. Two-digit dates use textLength=17 with spacingAndGlyphs, so only their width changes.
The existing shared date clock already handles midnight and resume events, so I kept its behavior and extended the glyph tests.

Screenshots

These production Tab Bar captures use macOS platform signals. Each sheet contains eight labelled 4× crops: dates 5 and 28, light and dark, Calendar selected and unselected.

Clarification to the gate note: the #1144 feature itself is web-only. The required origin/dev merge also carried upstream changes in crates/plugins/notes; I rebuilt the local server from that merged tree successfully. I did not run Notes-specific clippy or tests because this issue did not author or edit those crate changes.

Orchestrator review of artifacts/traydate-1144 (head 04e59e30e): the numeral is larger but it is crammed inside a full box frame — "28" touches the frame on all four sides (tab-bar-1440-day-28-dark-unselected-macos-4x.png) and "5" nearly does. It reads cluttered, not like the owner's Apple Calendar reference (a large numeral with breathing room under a small header band).

Redesign the glyph:

Drop the full outline box. Use a short top band only (a thin filled or stroked bar with the two binding ticks, or the weekday initial in tiny caps if it stays legible at 1x) and the numeral below it, free-standing.
Numeral: optically centred under the band, clear space ≥ 1 px (at 1x) on every side within the icon box; two digits ("28") get the same cap height as one digit when they fit, else one step smaller; weight matched to the other mode icons' stroke (tokens, no 700 literal — see #1159).
It must still read as "calendar" next to Tasks/Notes; compare against the other icons' visual weight (same optical size).
Show 4x crops for 5 and 28, selected/unselected, light/dark, at 1440 and 390, side by side with the Tasks and Notes icons. Merge origin/dev first. Commit; comment on #1144 with head SHA. Do not push.

Finding: the previous 4× crop confirms that the date nearly touches the four sides of the Calendar frame. The revised glyph removes that frame and keeps only the short binding band. The 18-unit date remains the same cap size for 5 and 28; the two-digit width is capped at 21 units, centered in the 24-unit box, and uses the shared semibold weight token to match the other Tab glyph strokes.

Finished #1144

Built

Removed the Calendar glyph's full outline. It now uses a short top band with two binding ticks and a free-standing date beneath it.
Kept the same 18-unit date size for 5 and 28. The two-digit date is centered and capped at 21 viewBox units, which leaves at least 1 CSS px on each side at the base 16 px icon size.
Changed the date to the shared --weight-semibold token so it sits with the other Tab glyph strokes.
Kept the shared ModeIcon, so the Tab Bar, navigation, Search and Settings use the same artwork. Midnight and resume updates remain covered by the existing tests.

UX gaps closed

The two-digit date no longer crowds a four-sided frame. The 4× evidence covers the Calendar Tab selected and unselected, with Tasks and Notes beside it, at 390, 820 and 1440 px in light and dark on macOS.

UX gaps left

None in the glyph scope. The shared Tab action and accessible name did not change.

Known gaps

bun run check still reports four existing Svelte warnings: two empty focus rulesets in AttachmentDeck.svelte and AgendaList.svelte, and two unused selectors in Notes.
I did not add a performance profile. This change only replaces static SVG geometry and a font-weight token; it adds no route, data work or interaction.

Decisions not specified in DESIGN

I used a horizontal band at y=6, ticks at x=8 and x=16, and placed the date at x=12, y=17. I chose the shared semibold weight and a 21-unit width cap to preserve the date's cap height while keeping a one-pixel side inset.

4× macOS production crops

Each sheet is 2×2: top row is day 5, bottom row is day 28; left is Calendar selected, right is Calendar unselected with Tasks selected. Each crop shows Calendar beside Tasks and Notes.

Starting traydate3-1144 on branch job/traydate-1144 at 8e829b33424712e74fb4c994de27fd1b137c00ba. Current merge base with origin/dev: 41bf97fb2861ea6e4ea70aab7d3b15a1c9aa278d. I will replace the Calendar header ticks with the requested filled strip, capture the tray crops, merge origin/dev once before the web gates, and report the resulting head here. No push.

Finding from apps/web/e2e/tray-icons-1095.mjs: the existing 4x capture fixes neither the date nor the Calendar selected state matrix; it writes selected tab crops only at 1440 px using the machine's current day. I am extending this production-build capture for days 5 and 28, selected and unselected, in light and dark at 390 and 1440 px. The existing full Tab Bar captures continue to cover 820 px too.

Finished traydate3-1144.

Branch: job/traydate-1144
Head SHA: 8c622927a98a8ba23119a0d2a23434e6941069e2
Feature commit: 75c6642ce (fix(ui): give the Calendar icon a filled header strip)
origin/dev merged before the final gates. No push.

Calendar now uses a filled, current-color rounded header strip above the unchanged date numeral. The strip width follows the date: 11 SVG units for one digit and 20 for two digits. The production capture freezes the local day to 5 and 28 and checks selected and unselected Calendar Tabs.

Production capture: PASS Tab Bar and Settings sidebar geometry with production screenshots: 6 Tabs × 3 widths (390, 820, 1440px) × 2 themes; 12 Tab crops and 16 date-state crops at 4x; macOS platform; App Sidebar and Core palette Navigate glyphs (/home/kayg/Developer/calternal-wt/traydate-1144/artifacts/trayicons-1144)
The four Svelte warnings are existing CSS warnings in AttachmentDeck.svelte, AgendaList.svelte, and the Notes route.

The screenshots use the macOS platform signal. Full Tab Bar and Settings screenshots cover 390, 820 and 1440 px in light and dark. The 16 requested 4x crops are attached below.

UX gaps closed: removed the binding ticks that read as a stray glyph and captured all requested date, selection, theme and width states. UX gaps left: none specific to this icon.

Decision: DESIGN does not set exact band geometry. I centered a 3-unit-high strip and vary its width with the numeral so it stays about as wide as the displayed date.
