Subject: [PATCH] Author missing Matins Gospel pericopes across
 nocturn-readings store

~110 of 355 nocturn-readings files had a patristic homily with no
paired Gospel-pericope text -- the homily discussing a Gospel that was
never itself transcribed into the file. Closed in two waves (the first
pass's source-string regex missed many real cases where the citation
lived only in a header comment or wasn't named at all), each entry
sourced from divinum-officium-reference's own Missale files (following
Sancti/Commune redirects where a feast reuses another's Gospel) and
verified per file rather than assumed -- several candidates turned out
to be genuine Nocturn 2 content or Common-of-saints cross-references
with no proper Gospel of their own, correctly left untouched.

Includes both live-reported gaps: St. Joseph of Cupertino's own Bk. II
Homily 38 (Matt 22:1-14) and the Vigil of St. Matthew's Ambrose homily
(Luke 5:27-32).

TODO.md logs the closed item plus a new, distinct follow-up: a handful
of files with no Nocturn 3 content authored at all (not just an
unpaired Gospel), found along the way.

npm test (2029 passed) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

+### Matins Nocturn 3 Gospel pericope — closed (2026-09-05)
+
+Systemic gap found while reviewing the Ember-Friday/9-18 fix: a huge number of `nocturn-readings/
+*.yml` files had an authored patristic homily (`isGospel: false`, a `source` field naming the
+author/work) with no paired `isGospel: true` Gospel pericope — the homily discussing a Gospel text
+that was never itself transcribed into the file. Nocturn 3 in this office is always a homily on
+that day's own Mass Gospel; leaving the pericope unauthored meant the homily read with no context
+for what it was actually commenting on.
+
+Closed in two waves, since the first pass's detection method was itself too narrow (a regex over
+the `source` field looking for an explicit citation) and missed real cases — either because the
+citation was only in the file's header comment, phrased in a way the regex didn't match (a Latin
+abbreviation, a parenthetical, a bare "Commentary on Luke" with no verse number), or not named
+anywhere in the file at all:
+
+- **Wave 1** (regex-detected, 64 files): every file where `source` itself named a Gospel
+  book+chapter.
+- **Wave 2** (structural re-scan — any `isGospel: false` + `source` entry in a file with zero
+  `isGospel: true` entries, no regex): found 75 more candidates. Required real per-file
+  verification against `../divinum-officium-reference` (checking the actual Lectio7-9/
+  `[Evangelium]` structure), since several turned out to be Nocturn 2 content or Common-of-saints
+  cross-references with no proper Gospel of the saint's own — ~46 authored, ~29 correctly left
+  alone. A handful more (`st-aloysius-gonzaga.yml`, `st-francis-xavier.yml`,
+  `st-john-baptist-de-la-salle.yml`, `st-joseph-calasanctius.yml`) were dropped from the wave-2
+  task list by mistake and fixed directly during final verification.
+
+Along the way, two more real bugs surfaced and were fixed in `src/hours/matins.ts`/
+`src/calendar/day-label.ts`:
+- A demoted temporal commemoration (e.g. a "Commemoratio Feriæ") was leaking a governing Sunday's
+  own homily into an unrelated weekday's reading pool through a separate code path than the one a
+  2026-09-03 fix had gated — affected 18 days/year.
+- Reading pool order didn't match the day label's own commemoration order (temporal-then-
+  sanctoral) — fixed to follow the same convention.
+- A plain generic temporal commemoration (e.g. "Saturday in the 15th week after Trinity") was
+  shown in the day label even when something else was already being celebrated, redundant with
+  either an Ember day's own name or simply unnecessary noise alongside any winner — dropped
+  unconditionally, not just for Ember days.
+- A homily's own authored responsory (when distinct from its paired Gospel's) was never actually
+  read by `gospelReadingPart` — silently dropped for every Gospel+homily pair with a responsory on
+  the homily specifically (e.g. `post-pentecost-16.yml`'s Ambrose homily).
+
+A handful of files were found to have **no Nocturn 3 content authored at all** (not just an
+unpaired Gospel) — logged separately above under "Minimal-proof-done, bulk content pending", not
+part of this closed item.
+
+`npm test` (2029 passed) and `tsc --noEmit` both pass; live-verified on 2026-09-16/18/19 (the
+Ember-September-into-saint cluster that originally surfaced this).

+        At that time, Herod had sent and taken John, and bound him in prison, because of
+        Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married. For John had said to Herod,
+        "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife." But Herodias laid snares for
+        him, and would have liked to put him to death, but she could not. For Herod feared
+        John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and protected him; and when he heard him
+        talk, he did many things, and he liked to hear him. And a favorable day came when Herod
+        on his birthday gave a banquet to the officials, tribunes and chief men of Galilee. And
+        Herodias' own daughter having come in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. And
+        the king said to the girl, "Ask of me what you will, and I will give it to you." And he
+        swore to her, "Whatever you ask, I will give you, even though it be the half of my
+        kingdom." Then she went out and said to her mother, "What am I to ask for?" And she
+        said, "The head of John the Baptist." And she came in at once with haste to the king,
+        and asked, saying, "I want you right away to give me on a dish the head of John the
+        Baptist." And grieved as he was, the king because of his oath and his guests, was
+        unwilling to displease her. But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head be
+        brought on a dish. Then he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head on a dish,
+        and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother. His disciples, hearing of

+        At that time, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,

+        word, and kept pondering what manner of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her,
+        "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God. Behold, you shall conceive in
+        your womb and shall bring forth a son; and you shall call His name Jesus. He shall be

+        throne of David His father, and He shall be king over the house of Jacob forever; and of
+        His kingdom there shall be no end." But Mary said to the angel, "How shall this happen,
+        since I do not know man?" And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit shall
+        come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you, and therefore the Holy
+        One to be born shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman also

+        At that time, one of the Pharisees asked Jesus to dine with him; so He went into the

+        At that time, Jesus spoke to the multitudes this parable: "A certain man had a fig tree
+        planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none. And he said
+        to the vine-dresser, 'Behold, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig
+        tree, and I find none. Cut it down, therefore; why does it still encumber the ground?'
+        But he answered him and said, 'Sir, let it alone this year too, till I dig around it and
+        manure it. Perhaps it may bear fruit; but if not, then afterwards you shall cut it
+        down.'" Now He was teaching in one of their synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold, there
+        was a woman who for eighteen years had had a sickness caused by a spirit; and she was
+        bent over and utterly unable to look upwards. When Jesus saw her, He called her to Him
+        and said to her, "Woman, you are delivered from your infirmity." And He laid His hands
+        upon her, and instantly she was made straight, and glorified God. But the ruler of the
+        synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured on the Sabbath, addressed the crowd, saying,
+        "There are six days in which one ought to work; on these therefore come and be cured,
+        and not on the Sabbath." But the Lord answered him and said, "Hypocrites! does not each
+        one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or ass from the manger, and lead it forth to
+        water? And this woman, daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound, lo, for
+        eighteen years, ought not she to be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?" And as He
+        said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and the entire crowd rejoiced
+        at all the glorious things that were done by Him.

+        troubled, or be afraid. You have heard Me say to you, "I go away and I am
+        coming to you." If you loved Me, you would indeed rejoice that I am going to
+        the Father, for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it

+        neither marry nor be given in marriage, but will be as angels of God in heaven.
+        But as to the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you
+        by God, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of
+        Jacob"? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. And when the crowds
+        heard this, they marveled at His teaching. But the Pharisees, hearing that He had
+        silenced the Sadducees, gathered together. And one of them, a doctor of the Law,
+        putting Him to the test, asked Him, Master, which is the great commandment in the
+        Law? Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart,
+        and with your whole soul, and with your whole mind. This is the greatest and the
+        first commandment. And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as
+        yourself. On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.

+        the altar of incense. And Zachary, seeing him, was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

+        And you shall have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. For he shall

+        incredulous to the wisdom of the just; to prepare for the Lord a perfect people. And

+        At that time, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called
+        Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the

+        At that time, Jesus spoke to the chief priests and the Pharisees in parables, saying, The

+        them. But when the king heard of it, he was angry; and he sent his armies, destroyed those

+        At that time, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin
