Details

Future dates are extrapolated by stepping the order column. For calendar freq (month/quarter/year), the origin's day-of-month is carried forward and clamped to each target month's last valid day. Other freqs use base::seq(). Month-end is not inferred, so use a first-of-month or period-style index for genuine month-end series.
