What happened?

I'm seeing an issue where the 2nd month display on the Calendar widget (the one on the line that also has total income and spending) is continuously flickering between "Dec 2025" and "December 2025".

How can we reproduce the issue?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the calendar widget component that displays the month label. Check for any conditional formatting or localization logic that might cause two different month format strings to be applied alternately. The flickering suggests a race condition or state update issue. Ensure consistent month format.
