Real Monastic 1617 has no Preces at the Little Hours, and that was
previously documented as intentional. Per this project's "not a
reconstruction" design, Prime was recently given Preces in the secular
Tridentine form as a deliberate deviation from Monastic — do the same
here: the reference engine's ferial minor-hour Preces (Kyrie, Pater
Noster, then "Domine Deus virtutum, converte nos..." V/R pairs) is
authored as a single shared common id and wired into all three hours
after the chapter. By explicit choice this is said every day regardless
of rank, mirroring Prime's own "every ferial day" simplification, rather
than importing the reference engine's Sunday/feast form, whose sourcing
(a V/R block reused from Compline) looks like a data quirk rather than
genuine minor-hour content.

Prime/Terce/Sext/None had no per-feast override mechanism at all before
this -- their psalm antiphon always fell back to the plain weekday
default and their chapter was always a single fixed per-annum/per-weekday
text, regardless of what was actually being celebrated, even on a
saint's own actual feast day (not just during an octave). Confirmed live
(Monastic Tridentinum 1617) that St. Lawrence has his own real antiphon
and chapter at every one of these hours, both on his own day and
throughout his octave.
New shared mechanism in hours/resolve-common.ts: getMinorHourOverrideId
(duplex-majus+ threshold, kept in sync with Lauds' own so it's one
shared backlog), resolveMinorHourAntiphon, resolveMinorHourChapter --
all resolveOfficeWinner-aware, so an octave day gets the same override
as the feast's own actual day. Prime additionally needed
isSundayOrFeastOffice (its capitulum/Preces Sunday-vs-ferial choice)
made octave-aware -- live-verified Prime's capitulum stays the
Sunday/feast form throughout the octave too, so no new file was needed
there, just reaching the existing one correctly.
Also fills in Lauds' own still-missing Lawrence office bundle
(capitulum/responsory/hymn/versicle) -- flagged in TODO.md as worth
fixing "even before tackling the other 32" and still not done until now.
Authored real content for St. Lawrence across all five hours from live
queries. The same ~31-saint backlog (TODO.md) now applies uniformly
across Lauds and the four hours fixed here.
Also documents a real, found-not-fixed gap: when two octaves overlap
with no temporal standing to yield to (St. Lawrence's and the
Assumption's genuinely overlap every Aug 16-17), this app currently
picks whichever started first, which happens to match the live engine
on Aug 17 (Lawrence's own elevated final "Octave Day" outranks the
Assumption's ordinary octave-day strength) but only by coincidence, not
a real rank comparison -- proposed design written up in TODO.md pending
a decision on scope.

Three separate resolver files (terce.ts/sext.ts/none.ts), not a shared
little-hour module — they're structurally identical but kept independent
by choice. Ordo verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum
1617): opening versicle, self-contained hymn, one antiphon framing three
psalms (no closing repeat, unlike Prime), a capitulum with its own
embedded short versicle/response, the day's own collect, and a closing
identical across all three hours.
Also fills in psalter-distribution.yml's previously-missing Sunday/
Monday/Tuesday psalm entries (Ps 118 sections for Sunday/Monday; Tuesday
turns out to share Wednesday/Thursday's native gradual-psalm set, not a
distinct one). Friday/Saturday's antiphons are derived from each day's
first psalm rather than reusing the native gradual antiphons, since
those two days already use a redistributed, non-native psalm set.
hours/types.ts gains a 'day-collect' part kind — the first ordo to use
the day's own Proper collect rather than a fixed text.
