New
A sixth category — «Study», sixteen dates. Four were already in the catalogue (Knowledge Day, the Last Bell, Tatiana Day, Teachers' Day) and twelve are new: applications open, the application deadline, competition lists, enrolment orders, the master's deadline, the start of the exams, the final essay, graduation night, Scarlet Sails and three school holidays. The category peaks several times a season rather than once a year.
New
Admission dates come from the regulation, not from memory. 20 June, 25 July, 27 July, 7 August and 20 August are taken from the admission rules (ministry order No. 821 as amended by No. 905). The source data for the task put the main enrolment stage on 9 August — an older edition, and the check caught it.
New
A third level of date confidence — «estimated». There used to be two: exact, and «approximate» for lunar holidays. School holidays, graduation and Scarlet Sails have a date that does not depend on the moon — a school or a city appoints it, and the reader needs different advice: not «check your community calendar» but «ask your own school».
New
The chosen catalogue section lives in the address (/tools/countdown?cat=study): a link can open «Study» or «Religious» straight away instead of explaining which chip to press. The value is in Latin script, like every interface-state parameter, and an invented one falls back to the whole catalogue rather than an empty grid.
New
A clear button in the search field, with focus returned to the input.
New
A «Does your school keep its own date?» block right under the counter of an estimated date, linking to the «Your own date» section with the event name already filled in. The address carries the slug in Latin script (?from=graduation) rather than the name — a name in Cyrillic turns the link into three dozen percent codes.
New
Weekday counts for a period — on every holiday page and in the /tools/date-diff breakdown. It answers a live search query, «how many Mondays until New Year», and its whole family: how many Fridays until the holiday, how many Saturdays between two dates. Collapsed, the block shows Mondays and Fridays; expanded, all seven. Both ends of the period are counted, and that rule is spelled out under the table.
Fixed
Search no longer tells «е» and «ё» apart. «Chernaya» did not find «Чёрная пятница» at all: the comparison went letter by letter. The tool catalogue had the same defect — «schetchik» missed «Счётчик символов». One shared function fixes both searches and folds case and stray spaces along the way.
Fixed
Holiday search also covers the English name and a list of aliases — «black friday» is typed in Latin whatever the interface language, and colloquial phrasings never appear in the formal name.
Fixed
The caption under the date no longer lies in static markup. Before hydration the «this year» and «next year» cards show a dash, and the caption beneath them read «the year is not in the lunar table» for every holiday — untrue for fifty-two dates out of sixty, and the first reader of it was the crawler.
Fixed
Gender agreement in the «already passed» line. The Russian sentence agreed with a masculine noun, while the catalogue holds feminine and neuter names.
Improved
The `/tools/date-diff` breakdown on a phone keeps the unit, the value and the copy button, and hides the note column by media query. With four columns at 390 px the values broke mid-syllable, and the new weekday row would have run to seven lines.
Improved
The number of dates in the lead, the counter and the description now comes from the data instead of being spelled out as «forty-eight».
Improved
Black Friday now says in so many words that it is officially the day after the American Thanksgiving, while retailers elsewhere pick their own dates and stretch the sale over a week.
Improved
The referrer dictionary has been filled in: ya.ru is Yandex rather than «other» (the search share was systematically understated), m.baidu.com is search, away.vk.ru is social. A separate «AI assistants» class covers nine domains — a channel with no query and no position, invisible in every webmaster panel.
Improved
The overflow sweep builds its address list from the sitemap instead of keeping it by hand: five tools had been missing from the check. The run grew from 67 addresses to 82 and gained an English pass.
