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

+        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.

+        foams and grinds his teeth; and he is wasting away. And I told Your disciples to cast it
+        out, but they could not." And He answered and said to them, "O unbelieving generation,
+        how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me." And
+        they brought him to Him; and the spirit, when it saw Jesus, immediately threw the boy
+        into convulsions, and he fell down on the ground, and rolled about foaming at the mouth.
+        So He asked his father, "How long is it since this has come upon him?" And he said,
+        "From his infancy. Oftentimes it has thrown him into the fire and into the waters to
+        destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us." But Jesus
+        said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." At once
+        the father of the boy cried out, and said with tears, "I do believe; help my
+        unbelief." Now when Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean
+        spirit, saying to it, "Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, go out of him and enter him
+        no more." And crying out and violently convulsing him, it went out of him, and he became
+        like one dead, so that many said, "He is dead." But Jesus took him by the hand, and
+        raised him and he stood up. And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him

+        neighborhood who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had

+        At that time, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod,
+        behold, Magi came from the East to Jerusalem, saying, Where is He that is born King
+        of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east and have come to worship Him. But
+        when King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and so was all Jerusalem with him. And
+        gathering together all the chief priests and Scribes of the people, he inquired of
+        them where the Christ was to be born. And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea;
+        for thus it is written by the prophet, "And you, Bethlehem, of the land of Juda, are
+        by no means least among the princes of Juda; for from you shall come forth a leader
+        who shall rule My people Israel." Then Herod summoned the Magi secretly, and
+        carefully ascertained from them the time when the star had appeared to them. And
+        sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Go and make careful inquiry concerning the Child,
+        and when you have found Him, bring me word, that I too may go and worship Him. Now
+        they, having heard the king, went their way. And behold, the star that they had seen
+        in the East went before them, until it came and stood over the place where the Child
+        was. And when they saw the star they rejoiced exceedingly. And entering the house,
+        they found the Child with Mary His Mother, and falling down they worshipped Him. And
+        opening their treasures they offered Him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And
+        being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country
+        by another way.

+        Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at supper, and said: Lord, who is
+        he that shall betray Thee? Him therefore when Peter had seen, he saith to Jesus: Lord, and

+        At that time, Jesus spoke and said, I praise You, Father, Lord
+        of heaven and earth, that You hid these things from the wise
+        and prudent, and revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, for
+        such was Your good pleasure. All things have been delivered to
+        Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father;
+        nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and him to whom
+        the Son chooses to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you who labor
+        and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon
+        you, and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and
+        you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My
+        burden light.
