Build the Easter octave transfer cascade
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m32s

Closes the tabled "Easter's own octave" mechanism gap. resolveDay only
ever checked yesterday/tomorrow for an inbound transfer - a single hop -
so anything impeded in Holy Week just vanished rather than reappearing
after the Octave. Live-verified the real behavior first (2033 proof
year): a candidate skips the whole privileged span and keeps walking
forward, FIFO by native date, until it lands; a transferred-in candidate
never gets the "still gets a nod" commemoration a native occurrence of
the same rank would along the way (confirmed with the Annunciation, zero
commemoration anywhere in the span). Also fixed Low Sunday itself, which
needed the same privileged-sunday treatment as Easter Day.

Built resolveForwardTransferLanding: a bounded queue simulation that
reuses applyIncomingTransfer unchanged per hop - its existing
privileged-feria-major no-op was already the right single-hop refusal,
it just needed a real cascade around it instead of a dead end.
