It (should be) purely ⎕IO←0. https://tio.run/##jZK7SgNBFIb7fYrTbQKbyyYINum1srBNM27G7OLemJ...

Potentially cal -y on macOS produces a different shape? What's ⍴↑cal?

Try doing cal←⎕SE.UCMD'Calendar 2021' and replace ↑2↓cal with 1↓cal - potentially that'll work?

⍴↑⎕sh 'cal -y' is 36 66. ⍴⎕SE.UCMD'Calendar 2021' is 33 66. Hm.

What system are you on? On Ubuntu, cal -y | wc -l also gives me 36.

I was just testing with TIO, it looks like the version of `cal` on there is different to the common one. The ⎕SE.UCMD'Calendar 2021' version should work cross platform (as it doesn't rely on anything external).
