Research direction
Examine the component's logic for rendering month days, likely in a function that generates an array of day objects. The current implementation only includes days of the selected month. To display preview days, modify the logic to include days from the previous month (leading zeros) and next month (trailing) to fill the grid. Check the component's padding or offset calculation for the first day of the month. A linked PR or comment may provide guidance; none found. Maintainer has not responded.
