On DST transition days, this code does not generate exactly 48 slots,
displayable to the user in a schedule that includes all hours from 0 to
23 labeled exactly once.

That introduces an unacceptable level of additional display-layer
complexity, and remains inferior to the "strict checking" solution I chose.
