Resolve 15 "unwinnable" stubs' Benedictus antiphons from source directly
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 55s

Direct feedback on the previous commit's framing: "unwinnable" was
describing an artifact of Divinum Officium's own single-winner
precedence model, not a real content gap -- this app already renders
commemorated saints on their own terms and doesn't need a saint to win
a live query to have real content. Fixed by reading each of the 15
saints' own already-validated fileref directly (the exact same fileref
their collect was already sourced from during the Kalendaria-table
pull) for its [Ant 1] section, falling back to whatever Common its own
[Rule]/[Rank] "vide"/"ex CXX" reference names when there isn't one --
the same proper-then-Common shape getDayCollect/collectCommon already
uses, just applied to the Benedictus antiphon too.

14 of the 15 had no [Ant 1] of their own at all -- clean Common
fallback, and every one of their C-numbers falls inside a family
already live-query-verified in the previous commit, so
minorHoursCommon/benedictusCommon were wired directly with full
confidence: St. Marcus, St. Felix (Presbyter), St. Hermes, St.
Saturninus, St. Prisca, St. Thecla, St. Catherine of Siena, Ss.
Machabees, Ss. Marius/Martha/Audifax/Abachum, Ss. Twelve Brothers, Ss.
Alexander/Eventius/Theodulus/Juvenal, Ss. Felix/Simplicius/
Faustinus/Beatrix, Ss. Nabor and Felix. St. Felicitas needed one new
category (C7), but it turned out to be a cross-reference resolving to
text byte-identical to the already-verified common-of-a-virgin.

The 1 remaining (Ss. Euphemia, Lucy, and Geminian) does have her own
real [Ant 1] -- but marked draft, not verified, on principle: St.
Alexius's own file also has a genuine [Ant 1] that his actual
live-rendered Benedictus antiphon doesn't use (common-of-an-abbot's
text instead), so a raw [Ant 1] read alone isn't sufficient proof, and
for a saint that can never be live-checked at all that uncertainty
can't be resolved either way -- used the text anyway, honestly flagged
rather than claimed as confirmed.

St. Frances of Rome and St. Bibiana (the older, pre-Kalendaria-table
109-saint pass) are good candidates for this same fix but weren't
touched here, since their own fileref was never derived by this
session's work.

### The 15 "unwinnable" stubs' Benedictus antiphons, resolved from source (2026-08)
Direct feedback on the section above: "unwinnable" was describing an
artifact of Divinum Officium's own single-winner precedence model, not
a real content gap — the app doesn't need a saint to *win* a live query
to have real content, since this app already renders commemorated
saints on their own terms (`day.commemorations`) rather than only ever
showing the day's outright winner. The fix: read each of the 15 saints'
own already-validated fileref directly (`extract_final.py`'s
`load_file`/`resolve`, the exact same fileref their collect was already
sourced from during the Kalendaria-table pull — no live query, no
"does this saint ever win" requirement at all) for its `[Ant 1]`
section, falling back to whatever Common its own `[Rule]`/`[Rank]`
"`vide`/`ex CXX`" reference names when there isn't one — the same
proper-then-Common shape `getDayCollect`/`collectCommon` already uses,
just applied to the Benedictus antiphon too.
**14 of the 15 had no `[Ant 1]` of their own at all** — clean Common
fallback, and every one of their `[Rule]`/`[Rank]` C-numbers (`C2a`,
`C2a-1`, `C3`, `C3a`, `C3a-1`, `C4b`, `C6`, `C6-1`, `C6a`, `C7`) falls
inside a family already live-query-verified in the section above, so
`minorHoursCommon`/`benedictusCommon` were wired directly with full
confidence, no new content needed: St. Marcus (`C4b` — a whole-file
`@Commune/C4` inherit, just the title relabeled "of the Popes" — into
`common-of-a-confessor-bishop`); St. Felix (Presbyter), St. Hermes, St.
Saturninus (`C2a`/`C2a-1` into `common-of-a-martyr`); St. Prisca, St.
Thecla, St. Catherine of Siena (`C6`/`C6-1`/`C6a` into
`common-of-a-virgin`); Ss. Machabees, Ss. Marius/Martha/Audifax/Abachum,
Ss. Twelve Brothers, Ss. Alexander/Eventius/Theodulus/Juvenal, Ss.
Felix/Simplicius/Faustinus/Beatrix, Ss. Nabor and Felix
(`C3`/`C3a`/`C3a-1` into `common-of-several-martyrs`). St. Felicitas is
the one genuine new finding: her file points to `C7` ("Commune Unius
non Virginis Martyris"), which isn't a category this project had
touched yet — but `C7`'s own `[Ant 1]` is itself a cross-reference
(`@Commune/C6:Ant 2`) that resolves to text byte-identical to
`common-of-a-virgin`'s own already-verified Benedictus antiphon, so no
new Common file was needed even there.
**The 1 remaining (Ss. Euphemia, Lucy, and Geminian) does have her own
real `[Ant 1]`** — but marked `status.la: draft`, not `verified`, on
principle: a real counterexample turned up in the *same* pass while
double-checking a winnable saint for comparison — St. Alexius's own
file also has a genuine `[Ant 1]` ("Similábo eum..."), yet his actual
live-rendered Benedictus antiphon (already confirmed in the section
above) uses `common-of-an-abbot`'s text instead, not his own `[Ant 1]`
at all. So a raw `[Ant 1]` read is demonstrably not sufficient proof by
itself that it's what the Benedictus canticle actually uses (Vespers'
Magnificat is a live candidate for what it's *actually* for), even for
a saint that *can* be live-checked — and for one that never can be, that
uncertainty can't be resolved at all. Used the text anyway (better than
nothing, and plausibly correct), just honestly flagged rather than
claimed as confirmed.
All 15 now have real content — none left "honestly missing." St.
Frances of Rome and St. Bibiana (the original, pre-Kalendaria-table
109-saint pass) are still left missing and are good candidates for this
exact same fix — this pass didn't touch them since their own fileref
was never derived (they predate the Kalendaria-table work this session
built), not because they're any less resolvable in principle. Ss.
Ursula and Companions (the section above) is the one case that's
actually different in kind: no other calendar member shares her
`C6b`/plural-Virgins-and-Martyrs category to cross-check a Common
against, so even a clean file read wouldn't have anything solid to
verify itself against.
Two vigils (Vigil of St. John the Baptist, Vigil of St. Lawrence) didn't
resolve via this file-based method at all (their particular file format
wasn't handled by this pass's parser) — no impact, both already had
real content from the live-query batch above.
