Unlike the ~110 files fixed previously (a homily present with no
paired Gospel), these 6 had no Nocturn 3 at all: nativity-bvm.yml
(Matt 1:1-16 + St. Jerome), ss-cletus-and-marcellinus.yml/
ss-soter-and-caius.yml (Common-of-Popes, Matt 16:13-19 + Leo's Sermon
2 on his own Election, reused from st-martin-i.yml), ss-cornelius-and-
cyprian.yml (Common-of-Martyrs, Luke 21:9-19 + Gregory's Homily 35),
ss-seven-brothers-rufina-and-secunda.yml (a proper override, Matt
12:46-50 + Gregory's Homily 3), and st-anacletus.yml (an alternate
"rubrica 1570 aut rubrica 1617" variant carrying real content the
file's modern-rubric default lacks entirely -- Luke 14:26-33 +
Gregory's Homily 37, English composed directly from the Latin where
no reference-engine translation lines up with this Lectio split).
npm test (2029 passed) and tsc --noEmit both pass; live-verified via
resolveOrdo on all 6 saints' real dates.

~110 of 355 nocturn-readings files had a patristic homily with no
paired Gospel-pericope text -- the homily discussing a Gospel that was
never itself transcribed into the file. Closed in two waves (the first
pass's source-string regex missed many real cases where the citation
lived only in a header comment or wasn't named at all), each entry
sourced from divinum-officium-reference's own Missale files (following
Sancti/Commune redirects where a feast reuses another's Gospel) and
verified per file rather than assumed -- several candidates turned out
to be genuine Nocturn 2 content or Common-of-saints cross-references
with no proper Gospel of their own, correctly left untouched.
Includes both live-reported gaps: St. Joseph of Cupertino's own Bk. II
Homily 38 (Matt 22:1-14) and the Vigil of St. Matthew's Ambrose homily
(Luke 5:27-32).
TODO.md logs the closed item plus a new, distinct follow-up: a handful
of files with no Nocturn 3 content authored at all (not just an
unpaired Gospel), found along the way.

Same fix as ember-september-friday.yml (already done): each file's
Lectio1-3 turned out to be one continuous, unbroken homily (Bede,
Gregory, or Ambrose's Commentary on Luke for the two Advent cases,
cross-referenced from the Annunciation's own Common and confirmed
contiguous by reading the source file directly), split only to fill
the fixed 3-lesson slot count. Recombined ember-september-wednesday/
-saturday and ember-advent-wednesday/-friday/-saturday into single
readings, keeping each one's first lesson's own responsory.
All 6 Ember days now recombined -- no remaining split-for-no-reason
readings in this family. Updated ember-days.test.ts's lesson-count
table accordingly.

Lectio1-3 in ember-september-friday.yml were one continuous, unbroken
Gregory homily on Luke 7:36-50, split only to fill the fixed 3-lesson
Nocturn slot count -- the "source doesn't genuinely split" case this
store's own established default (post-pentecost-15.yml) already
recombines elsewhere. User caught this live on /2026-09-18/matins
showing 3 identically-labeled lessons in a row. Keeps Lectio1's own
responsory per the "first one, when several collapse" convention.

Closes the gap this whole sweep started from: Nocturn 3 on
post-pentecost-13/14 showed St. Augustine's homily with no Gospel
citation or text above it. Fixes all remaining post-pentecost-NN ids
(01-14, 16-24; -15 already had this from the original mechanism proof)
the same way as the rest of the sweep, plus Trinity Sunday's second
Nocturn 3 pair — the "Commemoration of the First Sunday after
Pentecost," whose Gospel (Luke 6:36-42) has no live date to source from
since Trinity always occupies that slot, so it's sourced from the
reference engine's preserved pre-displacement Mass propers file
instead. Also fixes a stray-space formatting glitch in
post-pentecost-19's existing homily text, found while sourcing.

Same gap and fix as the Advent/Christmas and post-Epiphany sweeps, for
easter-octave, easter-3 through -6, and sunday-after-ascension. Also
fixes stray leading "v." verse-marker artifacts left over in three of
the existing English homily texts (easter-4/5/6), found while sourcing
the paired Gospel text alongside them.

Same gap as the Advent/Christmas sweep: Nocturn 3's patristic homily
appeared with no Gospel pericope before it. Authors the full text for
post-epiphany-1 through -6, septuagesima/sexagesima/quinquagesima,
lent-1 through -4, passion-sunday, and palm-sunday.
Palm Sunday needed a different source than the rest: its Missale
[Evangelium] tag is the Passion narrative (Matt 26-27) proclaimed at
Mass, not the entry-into-Jerusalem pericope (Matt 21:1-9) its own
Nocturn 3 homily is actually about — that shorter Gospel is instead
read at the Blessing of Palms, sourced from there.

Nocturn 3 previously dropped the bare "Et réliqua" Gospel incipit and
kept only the patristic homily, so the Gospel citation and text never
appeared. Authors the full pericope before the homily for advent-1
through advent-4 and christmas-octave-sunday, sourced from the
reference engine's Missale Gospel files. Authoring Advent 4's Gospel
surfaces a genuine second Matins Gospel on the rare Dec-24-as-Advent-4
collision (2023/2028), so the affected test now expects both readings
instead of one.

Every other post-Pentecost week's own file already attaches "Duo
Séraphim" (the closing responsory before Te Deum) to the hour's *last*
reading, overriding the usual "first one, when several collapse"
convention for exactly this responsory. post-pentecost-15 was the only
week not following that pattern -- its last (homily) reading kept
Lectio 10's own responsory instead. Swapped it in, matching the other
23 weeks; removes the now-resolved "needs an hour-level responsory
slot" note from TODO.md, which was chasing a problem that didn't
actually exist.

Sourced from the reference engine's national-calendar file. Own proper
collect, Ant 1, and Matins Nocturn 2 narrative reading (Juan Diego's
apparition account), same scope as the Our Lady of Lourdes feast --
Common of the BVM (C11) carries the rest. No canonization-deflation
question here (an apparition title, cultus confirmed 1754/1910). At
Duplex she ties the Immaculate Conception octave's threshold on a
non-closing day, which favors the occurring saint, so she wins Dec 12
outright.

She was previously excluded on a mistaken "post-1617, out of scope"
reading that conflated vu's hour-structure track (Monastic 1617) with
its calendar/saints track (Tridentine 1906 + Divino Afflatu 1954,
which has included her since her 1671 canonization). Her source rank
of Duplex is deliberately deflated to semiduplex, correcting for the
rank creep that made "new canonization" and "Duplex" a near-automatic
pairing from the Baroque period on. She wins Aug 30 outright over Ss.
Felix and Adauctus, who keep their existing commemoration.

Both feasts' source keeps the ancient single-nocturn, 3-lesson Matins
form (unlike every other Sunday in the surrounding sweep), which was
initially mistaken for "no content exists" and left unauthored. Their
Lectio1-3 actually carry a real Gospel incipit plus a full Pope St.
Gregory the Great homily each (Homily 21 on Mark 16:1-7 for Easter,
Homily 30 on John 14:23-31 for Pentecost) — a nocturn-count difference,
not a content gap. Authored as nocturn:1 content, same as this app's
existing Ember-day single-nocturn files; this app's own threeNocturns
rule still renders 3 nocturns for these Sundays regardless.

Non-Sunday Dec 24 previously just inherited Advent 4's ferial collect and
antiphons with nothing of its own. Import the Vigil's real proper content
from the reference engine (Duplex I classis): its own collect, all 5 Lauds
antiphons, the Benedictus antiphon, and Matins' Gospel (Matt 1:18-21) +
St. Jerome homily, wired via a new `vigil-of-christmas` temporal id scoped
to non-Sunday Dec 24 only. Advent IV landing on Dec 24 itself is untouched,

nativity-of-st-john-the-baptist.yml's `common` field (common-of-an-apostle)
was the same mistaken placeholder as the Beheading's, but this feast
needed a different fix: the reference engine assigns it no Commune at
all -- every [Rule] line in Sancti/06-24.txt and SanctiM/06-24.txt points
to proper text, never a Commune category -- so there's no better-fitting
id to swap in either.
Authored the real proper content that was still falling through to the
apostle Common, live-verified against the local Divinum Officium CGI
instance (Monastic Tridentinum 1617):
- Matins invitatory antiphon ("Regem Præcursóris Dóminum")
- Matins hymn ("Antra desérti téneris," with the Monastic doxology
substitution already used by this feast's own Lauds/Vespers hymns)
- Full Matins Nocturn 1-3 psalmody + nocturn versicles (Nocturn 1/2 reuse
St. Lawrence's own shared psalm-number pool per "Psalmi Dominica";
Nocturn 3 reuses St. Lawrence's own canticle scripture files verbatim,
since the citations are identical)
- Vespers psalmody (only 4 psalm slots at this Monastic rank, not 5 as a
naive reading of the raw Ant Vespera list would suggest)
- Nocturn 2/3 responsories on the existing nocturn-readings file
`common: common-of-an-apostle` is left in place as a fully inert
placeholder (a non-optional field with no better id available) with an
updated comment explaining why.

decollation-of-st-john-baptist.yml's `common` field was set to
common-of-an-apostle -- a mistaken placeholder (he isn't an apostle) that
leaked into the Aug 29 Matins invitatory and the Lauds/Vespers office
bundle. Corrected to common-of-a-martyr, matching the file's own already-
correct `minorHoursCommon` field.
Also corrected a stale comment in the feast's own nocturn-readings file
claiming neither Nocturn 2 nor 3 has a proper responsory: Nocturn 2's own
closing responsory is genuine proper text (not a Commune reference like
Nocturn 3's), and is now authored.

This Duplex I classis feast (instituted by Pius IX, 1847) didn't exist
anywhere in vu's calendar. Dated per the older, pre-1955 reckoning --
Wednesday after the 2nd Sunday after Easter (Easter+17) -- rather than the
1913 Pius X reform's later placement on the 3rd Sunday after Easter
itself, per direct instruction. Mechanism: one new temporal-feast record
plus a new EASTER_OFFSET_STARTS table entry (the only code change --
everything else is the existing generic anchor-driven resolution).
Authored the feast day's own Matins reading and its full 7-day octave
(days 2/3/4/6/7/8; day 5, the Sunday, has no override in the source at
all, correctly left unauthored).
Fixed one real collateral effect: an existing fixed-year calendar test
(St. Pudentiana vs. St. Peter Celestine, 2038-05-19) broke because that
date now falls on this octave's own closing day, tying Celestine's rank
against the octave's threshold -- the app's own documented tie-break
correctly favors the octave that year. Moved the proof date to 2033.
Also bumped the PWA precache file-size cap (6 MiB -> 8 MiB) since this
content pull pushed the main bundle past the previous limit.

Re-auditing the two prior sanctoral bulk passes (pre-1955 Tridentine track
and SanctiM Monastic-1617 track) turned up one saint missed by both:
St. Felix I (May 30), authored the same single-lesson shape as
st-pontian.yml. This closes the saint-level side of the Matins
patristic/hagiographic reading backlog.
Separately, auditing octave-day content by calendar date (the reference
engine keys it that way, not by octave-day-number) found two real gaps in
already-partially-authored fixed-date octaves: Immaculate Conception's own
closing day (Dec 15, Pius IX bull + St. Epiphanius homily) and Nativity of
the BVM's day 3 (Sep 10, St. Jerome on Matthew's genealogy -- no usable
reference English, own translation used, draft). Every other apparent gap
in these octaves was confirmed a correctly-empty vide-only day, not a
further gap.

The later post-Pentecost Sundays' real Nocturn 2 patristic content isn't
keyed by Pentecost offset in the reference engine — it's keyed by civil
calendar month/week (the old "Scriptura occurrens" cycle), which shifts
relative to post-pentecost-NN every year depending on Easter's date. Port
Date.pm's monthday() algorithm (pre-1955/Tridentine rubrics) as a new,
date-driven id, author all 20 August-November month-week files from the
reference engine's Tempora/0MN-0.txt sources, and pool them in
hours/matins.ts as a third, independent reading source alongside the
existing temporalId lookup.

Closes the gap the user found on 2026-08-23 (post-pentecost-13's Matins had
no patristic reading): nocturn-readings/ had content for only one temporal
id (post-pentecost-15, the original mechanism proof date). Since
resolveTemporalId maps every day in a liturgical week to the same id, one
file per id covers the whole week — authored all 23 remaining
post-pentecost-NN ids (01-14, 16-24) from the reference engine's own
Tempora/PentNN-0.txt files. Trinity Sunday (01) keeps its own full proper
office including a displaced-Sunday commemoration; 02-11 have real Nocturn
2+3 content; 12 onward are Nocturn-3-only (homily, Gospel incipit skipped
per convention), reusing the same two responsories the source itself
cross-references week to week.
Rest of the temporal cycle (Advent/Christmas/Epiphany/Septuagesima/Lent/
Easter) is a separate follow-up pass, tracked in TODO.md.

Researched whether September/Advent Ember days belong in the
movable-feasts.ts table alongside Christ the King/Immaculate Heart of
Mary. Live-verified against the reference engine they don't: Ember days
are privileged ferias (a saint can still win outright against them), not
named feasts contesting the day by rank.
Two smaller pieces instead: calendar/temporal.ts's septemberEmberDayOffset
(Sunday nearest Sept 14, same "nearest" arithmetic adventStart already
used, factored into a shared nearestSunday helper) feeds a new
resolveTemporalCategory check giving those 3 dates privileged-feria-minor
(live-verified correct); calendar/ember-days.ts's applyEmberDay relabels
the day's own temporal id to the Ember day's own (so its real content is
found) when the feria itself wins, or adds a commemoration when a saint
does. Advent Ember days needed no precedence change -- Advent's own
season default already covers them.
Found and fixed a real bug along the way: matins.ts's nocturnReadingIds
only ever pulled a commemorated *sanctoral* id's own readings, never a
commemorated *temporal* one's -- so a commemorated Ember day (the common
case) would never have surfaced its own content. Same root cause as the
day.winner.id gap the IHM relocation fixed earlier, just hiding in the
commemorations loop instead.
Authored all 6 days' real collect + 3 Matins readings each, transcribed
directly from the reference engine (September: Tempora/093-{3,5,6}.txt;
Advent: Tempora/Adv3-{3,5,6}.txt, whose lessons are themselves a
cross-reference to the Annunciation's own Common, followed and
transcribed from there). Kept as 3 separate readings per day rather than
the usual combine-into-one default, since each carries its own
genuinely distinct proper responsory.

Own real Oratio and Nocturn 2-3 content (Duplex majus). This was the
only real gap left in December -- the rest of the month was already
complete from the earlier pre-1955 sanctoral pull. No test collisions:
Dec 3 was genuinely open.
This closes out the full-year sanctoral sweep (January-December).

St. Charles Borromeo (11-04), the Octave Day of All Saints (11-08,
own real Cyprian/Augustine Nocturn 2-3 content, collect reused from
All Saints via cross-id propers), St. Albert the Great (11-15),
St. Gertrude (11-16), St. Felix of Valois (11-20). All Souls' Day
(11-02) deliberately skipped -- a Requiem office, not a normal
saint's office, a genuine mechanism gap.
Several new fixed-date Duplex+ saints displaced existing test
fixtures that had assumed particular dates were clean/ferial/
plain-Sunday: prime.test.ts's MONDAY constant, weekday.test.ts's
clean-Sunday case, and day-label.test.ts's post-Epiphany-overflow
and open-octave-day cases. Fixed by finding genuinely clean
alternate dates/years, never by weakening assertions.

Continues the full-year sanctoral import: the Guardian Angels (Duplex
majus, full proper content), St. Thérèse of Lisieux, St. Bruno, St.
Bridget of Sweden, St. Francis Borgia, the Maternity of the BVM (Duplex
II Classis, instituted 1931 for the 1500th anniversary of the Council
of Ephesus, full proper content), St. Edward the Confessor, St. Teresa
of Avila (distinct from St. Thérèse of Lisieux -- two different
Carmelite saints sharing a name), St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, St. Peter
of Alcantara, St. John Cantius, and St. Raphael the Archangel (own
full proper content, matching st-gabriel-archangel.yml's established
pattern for a Sancti file that redirects wholesale to another date's
file but still carries its own real content).
St. Raphael's new fixed day (Oct 24, Duplex majus) collided with the
"clean, empty Saturday" fixture used by three tests for Marian
Saturday/Lauds-psalmody-override behavior; moved all three to 2026-07-04,
verified genuinely free of any sanctoral entry (not even a commemorated
Simplex).

Continues the full-year sanctoral import: St. Stephen of Hungary, St.
Pius X, St. Lawrence Justinian, Ss. Protus and Hyacinth, the Holy Name
of Mary, the Seven Sorrows of the BVM (Duplex II Classis, own full
proper content except Nocturn 2, a real cross-reference to Passion
Friday's own temporal content), the Impression of the Stigmata of St.
Francis, St. Joseph of Cupertino, Our Lady of Ransom, and St.
Wenceslaus.
Ss. Protus and Hyacinth (Sep 11) were previously excluded under a
stale "real secondary saint blocked by the Nativity's own octave, same
as St. Clare in August" note -- wrong, same class of error already
corrected for St. Tiburtius/Susanna in August: the octave-window
exclusion was never a real rule. Sep 15 (day 8 of the Nativity's own
octave) is now also the Seven Sorrows' own fixed day (Duplex II
Classis), which wins outright with the octave still commemorated
alongside her -- updated september-sanctoral.test.ts's own "excluded
secondary saints" case accordingly, splitting it into the still-valid
Sep 9 (Gorgonius) half and a new Sep 15 case reflecting the real
winner.

Continues the full-year sanctoral import: Ss. Tiburtius and Susanna, Ss.
Hippolytus and Cassian, the Vigil of the Assumption, St. Joachim (Duplex
II Classis, own full proper content), St. Hyacinth, St. John Eudes, St.
Jane Frances de Chantal, the Immaculate Heart of the BVM (Duplex II
Classis, instituted 1942, full proper content), St. Joseph Calasanctius,
and St. Raymond Nonnatus.
Several of the new fixed dates (Aug 16, 17, 21, 22) fall within or
adjacent to St. Lawrence's and the Assumption's overlapping octave
windows and now win outright there under the ordinary-feria/ordinary-
sunday precedence rules, displacing what several existing tests
expected to be bare octave commemorations or ferial fallbacks. Updated:
- august-sanctoral.test.ts: Aug 22 now correctly shows the Immaculate
Heart of Mary as the winner, with the Assumption's octave still
commemorated alongside her.
- day-label.test.ts: the two octave-priority tests pinned to Aug 17
(now St. Hyacinth's own day) moved their "day 8 alone" case to All
Saints' own octave (Nov 8, still open); the two-octaves-overlap
comparison can no longer be demonstrated via any real date in this
app since every day where St. Lawrence's and the Assumption's octaves
genuinely overlap is now real sanctoral content -- the underlying
`pickWinningOctave` mechanism itself stays covered by
tests/calendar/octaves.test.ts's own synthetic-data unit test.
- vespers.test.ts: the Thursday Ps 138 split test moved off Aug 20,
whose own first Vespers is now claimed by St. Jane Frances de
Chantal's fixed day (Aug 21).

Continues the full-year sanctoral import: the Most Precious Blood of Our
Lord (Duplex I Classis, full proper office, elevated by Pius XI for the
1933 Redemption jubilee), the Visitation of the BVM (Duplex II Classis,
full proper office), St. Leo II, St. Anthony Mary Zaccaria, the Octave
Day of Ss. Peter and Paul (own real content, not a bare continuation),
Ss. Cyril and Methodius, St. Elizabeth of Portugal, St. Henry, Our Lady
of Mount Carmel, St. Vincent de Paul, and St. Ignatius of Loyola.
Also fixes a real pre-existing bug surfaced while authoring St. Leo II:
an earlier June sanctoral pull had mapped him to "06-28" (his own vita
text mentions his burial "upon the 28th day of June," but his actual
liturgical feast, per the reference engine's Sancti/07-03.txt, is July
3) with no saints/st-leo-ii.yml ever authored for it -- a wrong-date
stub, same class of artifact as the pre-existing St. Apollinaris
wrong-date bug already documented in july-sanctoral.test.ts. Removed
the stale June 28 entry now that he's correctly authored on July 3.
Two day-label tests pinned to Trinity-Sunday-relative dates that now
collide with new fixed feasts (Jul 6: Octave Day of Ss. Peter and Paul)
were moved to collision-free years/dates, and the July stub test
covering "pure octave-continuation days" was updated to a date (July 4)
that's still genuinely unmapped, since most of that range turned out to
have real content after all.

Continues the full-year sanctoral import: St. Angela Merici, St. Francis
Caracciolo, St. Boniface of Mainz (Bishop and Martyr, Apostle of Germany --
distinct from the earlier, unrelated St. Boniface Martyr already on May 14),
St. Norbert, St. Margaret of Scotland, and St. Aloysius Gonzaga.
Two of the new fixed dates (June 1, June 4) fall on dates used by two
day-label tests pinned to specific Trinity Sunday years; moved those to
years/dates free of the new entries, with explanatory comments.

Continues the full-year sanctoral import (see TODO.md/memory for Jan-Apr):
St. Pius V, St. Antoninus, St. Robert Bellarmine, St. John Baptist de la
Salle, St. Paschal Baylon, St. Venantius, St. Bernardine of Siena, St. John
Baptist de Rossi, St. Augustine of Canterbury, St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi,
and the Queenship of the BVM (May 31, Duplex II Classis, instituted by Pius
XII's 1954 "Ad cæli Reginam" — full proper content, not a Common fallback).
Adding the Queenship to May 31 surfaces a real collision with Trinity
Sunday in years where Trinity falls on May 31 (2026): since this app
models Trinitytide Sundays as plain ordinary-sunday with no special
first-class standing, a Duplex+ sanctoral feast wins outright there per
the existing precedence rule. Updated the two tests pinned to that date
accordingly, with a third moved to a Trinity Sunday date (2023-06-04)
free of any sanctoral entry to keep testing the octave-vs-anchor-day
interaction in isolation.

St. Isidore of Seville, St. Vincent Ferrer, St. Hermenegild, St. Anselm,
St. Fidelis of Sigmaringen, St. Peter Canisius -- April complete.
St. Peter Canisius is the second common-of-a-confessor-doctor saint
(after St. John Damascene in March), same benedictusCommon reuse
pattern. St. Hugh, Abbot (Apr 1) checked and correctly skipped: his own
file is Commemoratio-rank with only a collect, no Lectio content at
all to source.
npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

St. John Capistrano -- March complete
Finishes March's sweep of previously-never-added sanctoral content.
The Annunciation (Mar 25) was one of the two feasts literally named in
this app's original stale "fixed BVM feast, excluded per the usual
convention" note (alongside Purification, already fixed).
St. John Damascene is the first common-of-a-confessor-doctor saint;
his own Commune/C5a points its own Benedictus antiphon back at C4a's,
so he reuses the already-authored
benedictus-antiphon-common-of-a-confessor-bishop.yml directly rather
than duplicating it.
npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

of Jerusalem (March)
Continuing the sweep of previously-never-added sanctoral content. New
shared Common templates: collect-c7b.yml and
benedictus-antiphon-common-of-several-women-martyrs.yml (Commune/C7b,
"several women Martyrs, not Virgins" -- Perpetua and Felicity's own
Common category, not authored before now).
St. Gabriel Archangel (Mar 24), the Annunciation (Mar 25), St. John
Damascene (Mar 27), and St. John Capistrano (Mar 28) are still open --
substantial feasts left for a follow-up pass.
npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

Purification of the BVM (Feb 2), St. Andrew Corsini (Feb 4), St. John
of Matha (Feb 8), Apparition of the Immaculate BVM at Lourdes (Feb 11),
Ss. Seven Founders of the Servite Order (Feb 12), St. Gabriel of Our
Lady of Sorrows (Feb 27) -- all had real, complete Matins content in
the reference engine and no exclusion comment; simply never reached
during the earlier month-by-month sanctoral pulls. Continuing the same
sweep as January's St. Francis de Sales/St. Martina/St. John Bosco.
Test update (not a regression): St. Andrew Corsini transfers onto Feb 5
in years where Sexagesima falls on his own Feb 4, outranking St. Agatha
when it does -- february-sanctoral.test.ts's proof year for Agatha
moved from 2029 (now a collision year) to 2025 (clean).
npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

Per direct instruction to import all available sanctoral content
regardless of rubric-era markers: these three had real, complete Matins
content in the reference engine and were simply never added during the
earlier month-by-month sanctoral pulls (no exclusion comment, no
placeholder -- just never reached). First of a broader sweep across the
whole calendar.
New shared Common template: benedictus-antiphon-common-of-a-confessor.yml
(Commune/C5's own Ant 1) -- the first common-of-a-confessor saint that
needed one; st-alexius.yml (the only prior user of this category) had
used a Cistercian-specific alternate instead.
npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

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.

Previously excluded entirely under a stale "fixed BVM feasts aren't
modeled" note -- wrong: this app already models three other fixed BVM
feasts (assumption, immaculate-conception, nativity-bvm), and this one
has real, complete content too. Sancti/08-05.txt's untagged rank block
gives her Duplex Majus with real Nocturn 2/3 content (the
miraculous-snowfall founding legend of St. Mary Major); SanctiM/08-05.txt
confirms she's on the Monastic 1617 track too, reslicing the same
Lectio4-6.
Unlike the other three BVM feasts, she has no proper collect or
Benedictus antiphon of her own (her Rule says "ex C11" -- Common of
Feasts of the BVM) -- collect-c11.yml and
benedictus-antiphon-common-of-the-bvm.yml are real, reusable Common
templates, wired via collectCommon/benedictusCommon like any other
Common-only saint, not a private per-saint duplicate.
Live-checked via direct resolution: she wins outright on 2026-08-05 and
2027-08-05, with antiphon, collect, and Matins reading all resolving
verified. npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

st-telesphorus, st-hyginus (Jan 5/11, octave-absorbed — their day's Nocturn
2/3 is given over to a Nativity/Epiphany homily rather than their own vita)
and vigil-of-st-john-the-baptist, vigil-of-st-lawrence (Vigils whose single
3-lesson nocturn was misread as "no content") were left unauthored earlier
in the SanctiM pass on the theory that non-proper-to-the-saint text
shouldn't be sourced. Per direct correction: this app pools every available
reading first and figures out display later, so real sourceable text
belongs in the pool even when it isn't proper to that particular saint —
flagged as such in each file's own header, not disguised as the saint's
own vita. vigil-of-all-saints was re-checked under the same policy and
confirmed still genuinely contentless (a bare @Commune rubric).

13 of December's 15 SanctiM-track saints authored (st-bibiana, st-nicholas,
st-ambrose, immaculate-conception, st-damasus, st-lucy, st-thomas-apostle,
st-stephen-protomartyr, st-john-apostle, holy-innocents, st-thomas-becket,
st-silvester-i, st-eusebius-of-vercelli); st-barbara and st-melchiades left
unauthored as Common-only. This is the twelfth and final month of the
SanctiM (Monastic 1617)-track saints' Matins readings pass — 129 saints
authored across the whole year.
Adding St. Eusebius of Vercelli's content surfaces a 3rd Matins lesson on
the existing Advent III Tuesday proof date (Dec 15 falls under his
commemoration); updated matins.test.ts accordingly — the "commemorations
get their own reading" design working as intended, not a regression.

14 of November's 16 SanctiM-track saints authored, including All
Saints of the Benedictine Order -- a genuinely Monastic-only feast
with both rich content and (unusually for this pass) an available
English translation. St. Martin I is another off-date case like St.
Paul the Hermit, and two more saints (St. Emilian, St. Odo) turn out
Monastic-only-but-Common-only, extending October's wrinkle.
9 of October's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored. Found a new wrinkle:
St. Justina and St. Gall are genuinely Monastic-only (no Tridentine
file at all) but their own SanctiM files turn out to be Common-only
with no proper Lectio content -- being Monastic-only doesn't guarantee
real text to transcribe.
All 9 of September's SanctiM-track saints authored -- the first full
month in this pass with nothing left unsourced. Includes the
Dedication of St. Michael the Archangel, whose SanctiM file borrows
structure from his separate May 8 Apparition file but still resolves
its actual readings back to this day's own Tridentine content.
13 of August's 16 SanctiM-track saints authored, including the Duplex
I class feasts of St. Lawrence and the Assumption of the B.V.M. The
Assumption's presence confirms this app's calendar already maps fixed
BVM feasts, despite an older note in the parent workspace CLAUDE.md
suggesting otherwise -- flagged in memory as stale documentation to
verify against, not trust blindly. 3 saints left unsourced (Common-only
or Nocturn-1-only vigil content).
13 of July's 18 SanctiM-track saints authored (5 left unsourced,
Common-only). Discovered the Monastic calendar keeps a full Octave of
St. Benedict (Jul 11-18), which explains several dates' SanctiM files
not matching their expected saint. Also hit a translation-misalignment
bug on St. Bonaventure's English source (paragraph boundaries don't
line up with the Latin), worked around with an original translation.
12 of June's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored, including the major
Duplex I class feast of Ss. Peter and Paul. One left unsourced (the
Vigil of St. John the Baptist has only a Nocturn 1 scripture reading
in the source, nothing proper to author for Nocturn 2/3). Found a new
wrinkle: St. William Abbot has real vita content in both tracks,
essentially the same story independently transcribed — sourced from
the Tridentine file since only it has an English translation.
12 of May's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored (1 left unsourced,
Common-only). Resolves an old loose end from the pre-1955 pass: St.
Romanus Abbot does have a real SanctiM file after all, it's just
Common-only with no proper Lectio content, which looked like a missing
file until actually opened. Also the first isGospel:true case since
January (Ss. Philip and James's Nocturn 3 has a full Gospel pericope,
not a bare incipit).
All 9 of April's SanctiM-track saints authored. Found a new wrinkle:
St. Catherine of Siena and St. Peter Martyr sit on swapped dates
between this app's calendar and the general Tridentine one (Apr 29/30
each way), not just an off-by-a-few-days shift like earlier cases.
Also hit a reference-engine data bug on St. George (English prose
filed under a Latin heading) and another genuinely Monastic-only saint
(St. Robert of Molesme) needing an original translation.
All 6 of March's SanctiM-track saints authored. St. Benedict's own
patronal feast turns out to be the richest case in this pass so far:
its Nocturn 3 is genuinely Monastic-only content (a St. Peter Damian
sermon) absent from the Tridentine track entirely, unlike every other
saint done so far where the SanctiM file just reslices the same
Tridentine text. Also caught a case (St. Gregory the Great) where a
saint's SanctiM file carries content copied verbatim from an unrelated
feast rather than anything proper to the saint himself.
