Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the Date range picker comparison ranges example in the datepicker examples and reproduce the issue by opening its calendar dialog. Trace how comparison dates are presented, then verify that they are conveyed through more than color, such as an additional accessible indication or tooltip, and confirm the result in the example.
