19 saints (14 real winners + 5 stubs), plus a propers-slug update for the
pre-existing All Saints entry. Three monastic-calendar-specific
reassignments this month, the most of any month so far (St. Emilian
displacing St. Martin I Pope, who moves to a different date; St. Odo
demoting St. Pontian; St. Silvester Abbot displacing St. Peter of
Alexandria), plus All Saints of the Benedictine Order, a monastic-only
addition at Duplex II. classis. New exclusion category: All Souls' Day
(Nov 2) is a fundamentally different liturgical genre -- the Office of
the Dead -- out of scope the same way the Requiem rite isn't modeled
anywhere else in this app.

16 saints (14 real winners + 2 stubs). Three monastic-calendar-specific
finds this month: Ss. Placid and Companions (Oct 5, St. Benedict's own
disciple, Duplex II. classis -- absent from the base Tridentine table
entirely), St. Justina (Oct 7, reassigns what the base table gives to
St. Marcus, Pope), and St. Gall (Oct 16, founder of St. Gallen, also
absent from the base table). No octave-gap exclusions this month.

Records the explicit choice to keep the pre-existing Sep 29 mapping as a
deliberate simplification rather than removing it, per user decision.

14 saints (12 real winners + 2 stubs), plus a propers-slug update for the
pre-existing Nativity of the BVM entry. Two monastic-calendar-specific
finds: St. Nicholas of Tolentino (Sep 10) overrides what the base
Tridentine table treats as a plain Nativity-octave continuation, and St.
Januarius (Sep 19) is a monastic-only addition absent from the base table
entirely. Also flags (not yet acted on) that the pre-existing Sep 29 St.
Michael mapping doesn't appear to hold in this pull's actual target
track -- see the sanctoral-calendar.yml comment for detail.

18 saints (14 real winners + 4 stubs), plus propers-slug updates for the
4 pre-existing August entries. Notable this month: several dates have a
real named secondary saint permanently subordinate to an unmodeled fixed
octave (Lawrence's own, the Assumption's) or the fixed Transfiguration --
excluded entirely rather than guessed at, since this app can't yet
represent the actual blocking primary (a known, deferred octave gap).
Most notable casualty: St. Clare (Aug 12).

23 saints for July (18 real + 5 stubs). Caught and corrected a real
mistake in this pull's own methodology: an earlier live-query pass
recorded St. Apollinaris under July 24 based on a year where he'd
actually transferred there (his true date, the 23rd, was a Sunday that
year) — cross-checking against the raw calendar text file
(1570.txt) caught it before it went in. His real date is the 23rd, with
St. Liborius as his (permanently unwinnable) secondary; July 24 is
instead the Vigil of St. James with St. Christina as its own secondary.
Five stubs this month are all genuinely unwinnable (fixed-date
competitors) — the most of any month so far.

18 saints for June, all winning outright on a clean per-annum date — no
stubs this month, including two normally blocked by the generic
"Sanctae Mariae Sabbato" Saturday votive, which just needed a
non-Saturday year instead.
Three distinct Pauline feasts now exist in this pull (Conversion of St.
Paul, Jan 25; Ss. Peter and Paul, June 29; Commemoration of St. Paul,
June 30) plus a second St. Leo (Leo II, June 28, distinct from Leo I in
April). The Nativity of St. John the Baptist (Duplex I. classis, the
highest rank pulled so far) is kept in the sanctoral store despite the
very high rank, same as the Conversion of St. Paul/Chair-of-Peter
feasts — it's about the saint himself, not a feast of the Lord/BVM.

18 saints for May (16 real + 2 stubs). Both stubs this month are
genuinely unwinnable in the real historical calendar in any year (their
competing observances are fixed-date, not movable) — flagged explicitly
in their own files as distinct from the usual "just an artifact of the
year checked" caveat.
A second, distinct feast of St. Michael (his Apparition, May 8) is kept
as its own record separate from st-michael.yml's Sept 29 dedication
feast, same precedent as the two Chair-of-Peter feasts.

12 saints for April (11 real + St. Catherine of Siena as a stub), all
winning outright on a clean per-annum date.
Two real methodological findings this month:
- St. Mark (Apr 25, Duplex II. classis) directly confirms the
privileged-feria-major behavior from the previous fix: he only ever
gets commemorated within the Easter Octave, never wins there.
- St. Robert/St. Catherine of Siena (Apr 29) is a genuine, year-stable
monastic-calendar reassignment — this app's own base Latin source data
files that date's Roman-calendar content under a different saint (Peter
Martyr) entirely, which a naive raw-file lookup by MM-DD would have
missed; the live per-date query resolved it correctly regardless, and
is what these records are actually built from. Worth remembering for
future months.
New common category: common-of-an-evangelist (St. Mark, an Evangelist
but not an Apostle).

7 saints for March, all winning outright on a clean per-annum date. Notably
St. Benedict himself (Mar 21, Duplex I. classis, the founder — "S. P. N."
in the source) turns out to have no unique Oratio/Antiphon at all in this
date's source file, only Common-of-an-Abbot cross-references — flagged in
his own file to check his second (July) feast when that month comes up.
Two Benedictine-oblate saints (Frances of Rome, Gregory the Great) are
marked "O. N." (Ordinis Nostri) in the source — real significance for a
monastic calendar. St. Frances also needed a new common category,
common-of-a-widow (she's neither virgin nor martyr).

13 saints for February (12 real + the Vigil of St. Matthias), all
verified winning outright on a clean per-annum date — no secondary/
commemorated stubs needed this month, unlike January.
Two new scope exclusions found this month, beyond the usual octave/
temporal-continuation and fixed Lord/BVM feast ones: the generic
"Sanctae Mariae Sabbato" Saturday votive (not a real saint) and Feb 29's
leap-year redirect of the Vigil of St. Matthias (a real but not-yet-
modeled leap-day date shift).

20 saints for January, verified per-day against Divinum Officium (Monastic
Tridentinum 1617): 13 that actually win their day outright (rank pulled
from a live per-date query, since the static 1570/M1617 calendar text
files turned out unreliable once monastic-specific overrides apply) and
7 stubs for saints that only ever get commemorated, with an explicitly
flagged, unverified simplex rank guess pending correction.
Deliberately out of scope: pure octave-continuation days (In Octava S.
Stephani, the Epiphany-octave ferias) and fixed-date feasts of the
Lord/BMV (Circumcision, Epiphany) — sanctoral only, not temporal.

Corrects and completes the occurrence rules, based on a design discussion
plus one concrete data point: St. Anthony Abbot (plain Duplex) was found
outright winning against an ordinary Sunday in the real Monastic 1617
engine, which the old duplex-1-classis-only threshold got wrong.
- FeastClass gains `vigil`, inserted between `simplex` and `semiduplex` —
one ordering that correctly serves both "does this win against a Sunday"
(vigil behaves like simplex there) and "which of two saints wins a
landing-day collision" (vigil beats simplex, loses to semiduplex).
- LiturgicalDay.occurring (a flat OccurringFeast[] that could only ever
express a losing *sanctoral* candidate) is replaced by `winner:
DayWinner` + `commemorations: Commemoration[]` — a discriminated list
that can hold the temporal day itself, one or more sanctoral entries, or
(not built yet, but the shape already accommodates it) a future octave
kind.
- commemorations.ts: ordinary Sundays let Duplex+ win outright (Sunday
commemorated in return), Semiduplex/Vigil transfer elsewhere (too
substantial a feast to cheapen with a bare commemoration), Simplex stays
and is commemorated. Privileged Sundays never displace; Duplex-majus+
commemorated, everything else transfers.
- collision.ts (new): resolves two sanctoral candidates wanting the same
day (a transfer landing on an already-occupied day, or two native
saints sharing a date) — duplex > semiduplex > vigil > simplex, loser
always commemorated, ties favor the native occupant.
- temporal-id.ts (new): maps any date to one of the 52 real Sunday-collect
ids from the previous commit, so a temporal winner/commemoration can
actually be looked up, not just labeled "temporal" in the abstract.
- index.ts's resolveDay orchestrates all of it, including the actual
Monday/Saturday transfer mechanism. Landing on a privileged feria (the
concrete case: Holy Week, right after Palm Sunday) is explicitly
deferred rather than guessed at — it needs its own Easter-keyed lookup
table, the same way the reference engine handles it.
Added the Vigil of St. Lawrence (Aug 9) as real content specifically to
exercise the backward-transfer rule end-to-end: Aug 9, 2026 is a Sunday,
so the vigil transfers cleanly back to Saturday, verified by a new
integration test alongside the unit-level rule and collision tests.
Replaces the FeastRank placeholder with a real ordered FeastClass (the old
pre-1955 six-level scale) and a new TemporalCategory (privileged/ordinary
Sunday/feria). calendar/commemorations.ts's decideOccurrence encodes the
actual precedence rules as explicit, commented branches per category
rather than the reference engine's own opaque numeric weights — this app
targets one ruleset, so the readability trade-off is worth it. Category
membership (data/calendar/temporal-categories.yml) is a best-effort
reconstruction of the pre-1955 tradition, not sourced from a primary text;
expect corrections.
calendar/feasts.ts resolves real sanctoral candidates, and resolveDay()
wires it all together — occurring/temporalCategory are no longer stubs.
isDoubleOrHigher (hours/antiphon.ts) is now a real comparison instead of
a hardcoded false.
Seeded 7 real saints/feasts, each verified directly against Divinum
Officium's own rank data (not reconstructed from memory) as a small,
growable start: St. Lawrence, the Assumption, St. Augustine, the Nativity
of the BVM, St. Michael, All Saints, the Immaculate Conception.
Client-side-first PWA (Vite/TS, no backend) per the approved plan: day-
navigable shell listing all 8 hours, Prime fully resolves via the
calendar -> psalter -> ordo pipeline, the other 7 hours are registered
but flagged not-implemented. Sanctoral/temporal calendar data uses a
day -> id indirection layer (saints, easter-offsets, fixed-date-calendar)
so reassigning a feast to a different day is a data edit, not a code
change. Docker (Caddy-serving-static) + Gitea CI workflow scaffolded to
match the eec/drip/bookshop operational pattern.
