Add 4 more fixed Lord's/BVM feasts, and fix Our Lady of the Snows' Nocturn 3

Finding of the Holy Cross (May 3), the Transfiguration (Aug 6), the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Sep 14), and Dedication of the Basilica of the Most Holy Savior (Nov 9, the Lateran) were all excluded under the same stale "fixed feast of the Lord, not modeled" note that turned out wrong for Our Lady of the Snows. All four have real, complete content in the reference engine. Presentation of the BVM (Nov 21) was excluded under the equivalent "fixed BVM feast" note and is added the same way. - finding-of-the-holy-cross: fully proprium, own collect/antiphon/Matins throughout; now correctly outranks ss-alexander-eventius-theodulus-and-juvenal, matching what that saint's own file already documented as the live reality. - transfiguration: same proprium shape. Its subordinate saints (Ss. Xystus/Felicissimus/Agapitus) stay excluded -- blocked by the real, separate octave/subordination-rendering gap, not by an unmodeled Transfiguration. - exaltation-of-the-holy-cross: reuses the Finding of the Holy Cross's content wholesale (ex Sancti/05-03) -- collect/antiphon via a cross-id `propers` pointer, Matins nocturn-readings duplicated (no cross-id lookup exists for that mechanism). - dedication-of-the-basilica-of-the-most-holy-savior: reuses the existing Common-of-a-Dedication (collect-c8, benedictus-antiphon- common-of-a-dedication), real unique Nocturn 2 vita of her own. Her secondary, St. Theodore, stays excluded for the same octave/subordination reason as above. - presentation-of-the-bvm: real unique collect of her own; her Benedictus antiphon is a substituted Common reference (truncate-and-add-alleluia edit specific to this feast), authored as her own file. Also: our-lady-of-the-snows.yml was missing its own Nocturn 3 (she defers to Commune/C11's own Gospel-incipit-plus-Bede-homily, same as Presentation of the BVM) -- added. Test updates (not regressions): three tests had fixed proof dates colliding with the newly-added feasts, updated to reflect the new, correct behavior. npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

+# Matins Nocturn 2-3 readings for the Exaltation of the Holy Cross
+# (Sep 14) — identical content to finding-of-the-holy-cross.yml (May 3),
+# duplicated deliberately: her own [Rule] is `ex Sancti/05-03`, reusing
+# that feast's content wholesale (see exaltation-of-the-holy-cross.yml's
+# calendar-record comment for why the Matins mechanism needs an actual
+# duplicate here, unlike the collect/antiphon which redirect via
+# `propers`). Sourced directly from web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/05-03.txt,
+# English/Sancti/05-03.txt. (Lectio1-3, Gal 3:10-14/Phil 2:5-11/
+# Col 2:9-15, is left to the bible-plan store as usual.)
+#
+# Nocturn 2: Lectio4-6 combined into one reading — the legend of St.
+# Helena's finding of the True Cross, one continuous narrative, no
+# genuine source break.
+# Nocturn 3: Lectio7's Gospel citation (John 3:1-15) is a bare incipit
+# ("Et réliqua") with no full pericope text given, so — per the
+# established convention of not transcribing bare incipits — only the
+# homily portion is authored (not marked isGospel), St. Augustine's
+# homily on Nicodemus (Lectio7's homily + Lectio8 combined). The source
+# has no Lectio9 at all for this feast (only 8 lessons total, an
+# unusual but genuine structural feature of this particular office, not
+# an omission here).

+        Post insígnem victóriam, quam Constantínus imperátor, divínitus accépto signo
+        Domínicæ Crucis, ex Maxéntio reportávit, Hélena Constantíni mater, in somnis
+        admónita, conquiréndæ Crucis stúdio Jerosólymam venit; ubi marmóream Véneris
+        státuam, in Crucis loco a Géntibus collocátam ad tolléndam Christi Dómini passiónis
+        memóriam, post centum círciter octogínta annos, everténdam curávit. Quod item fecit
+        ad præsépe Salvatóris et in loco resurrectiónis, inde Adónidis hinc Jovis subláto
+        simulácro.
+
+
+        Itaque loco Crucis purgáto, alte defóssæ tres cruces érutæ sunt, repertúsque
+        seórsum ab illis Crucis Domínicæ títulus: qui cum ex tribus cui affíxus fuísset, non
+        apparéret, eam dubitatiónem sústulit miráculum. Nam Macárius Jerosolymórum
+        epíscopus, factis Deo précibus, síngulas cruces cuídam féminæ, gravi morbo
+        laboránti, admóvit; cui cum réliquæ nihil profuíssent, adhíbita tértia Crux statim
+        eam sanávit.
+
+
+        Hélena, salutári Cruce invénta, magnificentíssimam ibi exstrúxit ecclésiam, in qua
+        partem Crucis relíquit thecis argénteis inclúsam, partem Constantíno fílio détulit;
+        quæ Romæ repósita fuit in ecclésia sanctæ Crucis in Jerúsalem, ædificáta in ædibus
+        Sessoriánis. Clavos étiam áttulit fílio, quibus sanctíssimum Jesu Christi corpus
+        fixum fúerat. Quo ex témpore Constantínus legem sancívit, ne crux ad supplícium
+        cuíquam adhiberétur. Ita res, quæ ántea homínibus probro ac ludíbrio fúerat,
+        veneratióni et glóriæ esse cœpit.

+        After that famous victory which the Emperor Constantine gained over Maxentius, on
+        the eve of which the banner of the Cross of the Lord had been given to him from
+        heaven, Helen, the mother of Constantine, being warned in a dream, came to Jerusalem,
+        to seek for the Cross. There it was her care to cause to be overthrown the marble
+        statue of Venus, which had stood on Calvary for about one hundred and eighty years,
+        and which had originally been put there to desecrate and destroy the memorial of the
+        sufferings of the Lord Christ. The like work Helen did at Bethlehem, by cleansing
+        from an image of Adonis the stable where the Saviour was born, and from an idol of
+        Jupiter, the place where He had arisen from the dead.
+
+
+        Then she had thus cleansed the place where the Cross had stood, Helen caused deep
+        excavations to be made, which resulted in the discovery of three crosses, and, apart
+        from them, the writing which had been nailed on that of the Lord. But which of the
+        crosses had been His was unknown, and was only manifested by a miracle. Macarius,
+        Bishop of Jerusalem, after offering solemn prayers to God, touched with each of the
+        three a woman who was afflicted with a grievous disease. The two first had no effect,
+        but at the touch of the third she was immediately healed.
+
+
+        Helen, after she had found the life-giving Cross, built over the site of the Passion
+        a Church of extraordinary splendour, wherein she deposited part of the Cross, shut
+        up in a silver case. Another part which she gave to her son, Constantine, was laid
+        up in the Church of the Holy Cross of Jerusalem, which he built at Rome on the site
+        of the Sessorian Palace. She also gave to her son the nails with which the Most Holy
+        Body of Jesus Christ had been pierced. Constantine established a law abolishing the
+        punishment of crucifixion for all time coming and thenceforth what had hitherto been
+        a hissing and a curse among men, began to be esteemed worshipful and glorious.

+        Nicodémus ex his erat, qui credíderant in nómine Jesu, vidéntes signa et prodígia
+        quæ faciébat. Supérius enim hoc dixit: Cum autem esset Jerosólymis in Pascha in die
+        festo, multi credidérunt in nómine ejus. Quare credidérunt in nómine ejus? Séquitur,
+        et dicit: Vidéntes signa ejus, quæ faciébat. Et de Nicodémo quid dicit? Erat
+        princeps Judæórum, nómine Nicodémus. Hic venit ad eum nocte, et ait illi: Rabbi,
+        scimus quia a Deo venísti magíster. Et iste ergo credíderat in nómine ejus. Et ipse
+        unde credíderat? Séquitur: Nemo enim potest hæc signa fácere, quæ tu facis, nisi

+
+
+        Si ergo Nicodémus de illis multis erat, qui credíderant in nómine ejus, jam in isto

+        Ipsis ergo se credit Jesus, qui nati fúerint dénuo. Ecce illi credíderant in eum, et

+        Nicodemus was one of them which believed in the Name of Jesus, when they saw the
+        signs and wonders which He did. So hath John given us to understand a few words
+        before our text: "Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, in the feast-day,
+        many believed in His Name." And wherefore did they believe in His Name John telleth
+        us immediately: "When they saw the miracles which He did." And now, what saith he
+        touching Nicodemus? "There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of
+        the Jews. The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him Rabbi, we know that Thou
+        art a Teacher come from God." Nicodemus therefore believed in His Name. And why did
+        he believe He saith "For no man can do these miracles that Thou doest, except God be
+        with him."
+
+
+        Lo, then, Nicodemus was one of the many which had believed in His Name, let us seek
+        to find in Nicodemus why "Jesus did not commit Himself unto them." Jesus answered
+        and said unto him "Amen, Amen, I say unto thee except a man be born again, he cannot
+        see the kingdom of God." Jesus therefore committeth Himself unto such as be born
+        again. Behold, Nicodemus and they that were with him believed in Jesus, but Jesus did
+        not commit Himself unto them. Just so are all Catechumens they believe in the Name of
+        Christ, but Jesus hath not yet committed Himself unto them. Now I trust ye will be
+        good enough to pay attention, and understand what I am going to say. If ye ask of a
+        Catechumen "Dost thou believe in Christ" he saith "I believe," and he signeth himself
+        with the sign of the Cross. The Cross of his Lord is marked upon his forehead, and he
+        is not ashamed of it. Behold, he believeth in the Name of Christ. But let us ask him
+        "Dost thou eat the flesh of the Son of Man" and he knoweth not what we mean, for
+        Jesus hath not yet committed Himself unto him.
