Author Matins Common-of-a-Holy-Woman psalmody

Live-verified against St. Anne (2026-07-26): Nocturns 1/2 and Nocturn
3's canticles/versicle match Common-of-a-Virgin-Martyr exactly, but the
Nocturn 3 antiphon itself differs (pearl-of-great-price vs. bridegroom
imagery), so it gets its own file rather than an alias.

# Generic Common-of-a-Holy-Woman Matins psalmody, live-verified against
# Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617, command=prayMatutinum,
# 2026-07-26 -- St. Anne, whose own SanctiM file (`07-26.txt`, the file
# actually selected under our rubric -- the richer `07-26r.txt` sibling
# with its own real proper antiphons is gated `rubrica 1930`, not ours)
# carries no `[Ant Matutinum]` block of her own, so her output *is* this
# category's generic scheme, not a saint-specific deviation).
#
# Nocturn 1 and Nocturn 2's six antiphons, all six psalm numbers, and
# both nocturns' closing versicles are byte-identical to
# `common-of-a-virgin-martyr.yml`'s own (confirmed by direct text
# comparison, not assumed from the shared Song-of-Songs imagery) -- same
# psalm numbers [8,18,23,44,45,47] then [84,86,95,96,97,98] (the latter
# six adopted from that already-verified file rather than this pass's own
# extraction, which mis-paired one nocturn's antiphons against the live
# page's psalm-number labels on a first pass -- the antiphon *text* below
# was independently confirmed byte-identical either way). Nocturn 3's
# canticle citations (Sir 39:17-21, Isa 61:10-11;62:1-3, Isa 62:4-7) and
# closing versicle are likewise byte-identical to Virgin-Martyr's own.
#
# Genuinely different from Virgin-Martyr, and the reason this is its own
# file rather than an alias: Nocturn 3's own antiphon is "Invénta bona
# margaríta" (the pearl-of-great-price parable, Matt 13:45-46) in place
# of Virgin-Martyr's "Média nocte" (the wise-virgins/bridegroom
# antiphon) -- fitting imagery for a holy woman not specifically framed
# as a bride-of-Christ virgin. No English translation exists in the
# reference engine's own data for this one antiphon (the "pearl" text
# found nearby on the page is the unrelated Gospel-lesson excerpt, Matt
# 13's own parable, not a translation of this antiphon) -- translated
# directly here, flagged as such rather than left missing per this
# project's own "prefer text over missing" convention.
