+/**
+ * CalendarShell render smoke test — CAL-03
+ *
+ * Guards:
+ *   - Pitfall 4: hydrateEvents is called before eventsService.set(); no ISO-string rejection
+ *   - Pitfall 6: @schedule-x/react@4.1.0 ↔ @schedule-x/calendar@4.6.0 compatibility —
+ *                useCalendarApp and ScheduleXCalendar are called without throwing
+ *
+ * Strategy: mock @schedule-x/react (Preact internals are not jsdom-compatible) so the test
+ * focuses on the CalendarShell data pipeline (fetchMe → fetchEvents → hydrateEvents →
+ * eventsService.set), not on Schedule-X's internal DOM rendering.
+ * hydrateEvents is spied on to verify the all-day PlainDate path and the timed ZonedDateTime
+ * path are both invoked without error (the Temporal hydration contracts from hydrateEvents.test.ts).
