Technical Architecture: Gregorian Chronometry & Epoch Mathematics
Calculating calendar intervals and date offsets requires balancing epoch timestamp math with human calendar conventions. A purely arithmetic millisecond division ((t2 - t1) / 86400000) yields physical 24-hour periods, but fails to handle daylight saving time (DST) shifts where days can have 23 or 25 hours. Khalasna executes date arithmetic using JavaScript UTC Date primitives to isolate calculations from local timezone DST distortions. For business day calculations, the engine increments calendar days iteratively, filtering out days where date.getUTCDay() === 0 (Sunday) or 6 (Saturday). When adding calendar months to a start date, it guards against month-end overflow: adding 1 month to January 31st caps automatically at February 28th (or 29th in leap years) rather than spilling into March. All calculations run instantly in local memory.
