+  Calendar-based cycle calculation functions for membership fees.
+
+  This module provides functions for calculating cycle boundaries
+  based on interval types (monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, yearly).
+
+  The calculation functions (`calculate_cycle_start/3`, `calculate_cycle_end/2`,
+  `next_cycle_start/2`) are pure functions with no side effects.
+
+  The time-dependent functions (`current_cycle?/3`, `last_completed_cycle?/3`)
+  depend on a date parameter for testability. Their 2-argument variants
+  (`current_cycle?/2`, `last_completed_cycle?/2`) use `Date.utc_today()` and
+  are not referentially transparent.
+
+  ## Interval Types
+
+  - `:monthly` - Cycles from 1st to last day of each month
+  - `:quarterly` - Cycles from 1st of Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct to last day of quarter
+  - `:half_yearly` - Cycles from 1st of Jan/Jul to last day of half-year
+  - `:yearly` - Cycles from Jan 1st to Dec 31st

+  Module for generating membership fee cycles for members.
+
+  This module provides functions to automatically generate membership fee cycles
+  based on a member's fee type, start date, and exit date.
+
+  ## Algorithm
+
+  1. Load member with relationships (membership_fee_type, membership_fee_cycles)
+  2. Determine the generation start point:
+     - If NO cycles exist: Start from `membership_fee_start_date` (or calculated from `join_date`)
+     - If cycles exist: Start from the cycle AFTER the last existing one
+  3. Generate all cycle starts from the determined start point to today (or `exit_date`)
+  4. Create new cycles with the current amount from `membership_fee_type`
+
+  ## Important: Gap Handling
+
+  **Gaps are NOT filled.** If a cycle was explicitly deleted (e.g., 2023 was deleted
+  but 2022 and 2024 exist), the generator will NOT recreate the deleted cycle.
+  It always continues from the LAST existing cycle, regardless of any gaps.
+
+  This behavior ensures that manually deleted cycles remain deleted and prevents
+  unwanted automatic recreation of intentionally removed cycles.
+
+  ## Concurrency
+
+  Uses PostgreSQL advisory locks to prevent race conditions when generating
+  cycles for the same member concurrently.
+
+  ## Examples
+
+      # Generate cycles for a single member
+      {:ok, cycles} = CycleGenerator.generate_cycles_for_member(member)
