-# Deliberate deviation from real Monastic 1617 (which has no Preces at the
-# Little Hours at all) and from the reference engine's own rubric (which
-# says the Pater Noster here is "secreto," silent): by explicit choice this
-# project shows the Kyrie and Pater Noster as spoken text rather than
-# dropping them the way Prime drops its silently-said opening Pater/Ave —
-# see prime.yml's header for that contrasting precedent.
+# Trimmed 2026-09-01, by explicit choice: this file used to hold the whole
+# block (Kyrie + Pater Noster + all four V/R pairs) and was shown every
+# day. The Kyrie/Pater Noster piece was split out into its own always-
+# shown `minor-hour-kyrie-pater` part (see that file) so it keeps
+# appearing regardless of rank; what's left here — the three further V/R
+# pairs, the actual "Preces" versicles proper — is now ferial-only
+# (`ferialOnly: true` in data/hours/terce.yml etc.), matching real
+# historical practice (Preces are dropped on Sundays/feasts) more closely
+# than the old "every day" simplification did.
 #
-# Also by explicit choice, said on *every* day regardless of rank, not just
-# ferias — mirroring the same "every day" simplification already made for
-# Prime's ferial Preces (see prime-preces-feriales.yml). The reference
-# engine's Sunday/feast form for the Little Hours (Kyrie + Pater Noster +
-# a silently-said Creed, then a V/R block that's actually reused from
-# Compline's own dominical Preces) looks like a data-reuse quirk rather
-# than genuinely-authored minor-hour content, so it was deliberately not
-# imported.
+# Deliberate deviation from real Monastic 1617 (which has no Preces at the
