will 6f8f6618b9 Strengthen the Assumption's octave against a demoted St. John Eudes
Demote St. John Eudes (Aug 19) from Duplex to Semiduplex -- too minor
a confessor to keep outranking the Assumption's octave. To make that
demotion actually cede the day, raise the Assumption's octave to
`wins: duplex` (same pattern already used by Pentecost's octave), so an
ordinary-day tie no longer automatically favors the occurring saint.

Promote St. Thomas of Canterbury (Dec 29) to Duplex so he keeps
winning against the Christmas octave stack now that ordinary-day ties
are no longer a given.

Also add a closing-day tie-break to octave-vs-octave precedence
(pickWinningOctave): when two active octaves tie in rank, the one on
its own closing day now wins the label contest, ahead of the existing
"more recently started" tie-break. Needed because Assumption's day 3
and St. Lawrence's own closing day (Aug 17) now tie at Duplex, and the
closing day should still govern that date's label.

will ea29e5ee45 Add Dec 26-30's own Sunday rule -- a deliberate remix, not a live-verified fix
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 54s
Per direct instruction, and explicitly framed as this project's own
departure from Monastic 1617 itself: within Dec 26-30 inclusive (exactly
one real Sunday falls somewhere in that window every year), whichever
date is the actual Sunday always wins as Nat1-0 outright, with no rank
check at all -- even Stephen/John/Holy Innocents (Duplex II. classis)
get fully displaced, not just commemorated. The displaced saint isn't
commemorated in place either; he reappears in full as Dec 30's own
winner instead (the block's one date with no fixed saint of its own).
Rank never matters for this rule -- confirmed with Becket (Semiduplex)
transferring the same way as the Duplex-II-classis saints.

This deliberately diverges both from what Monastic 1617 itself does on
Dec 26-29 (live-verified two commits ago: the saint wins there, Sunday
merely commemorated) and from the general privileged-sunday transfer
rule elsewhere (which only transfers ranks below duplex-majus and
commemorates everything else in place) -- this window transfers every
rank and commemorates nothing in place, a genuinely new, third
behavior specific to this 5-day block.

Implemented as calendar/index.ts's applyChristmasOctaveSunday, a
narrowly-scoped layer in the same spirit as applyMarianSaturday/
applyChristTheKing, rather than by changing the shared
decideOccurrence/transfer machinery every other Sunday relies on. Dec 31
and everything outside Dec 26-30 is untouched -- St. Silvester still
beats the Sunday there via the plain, unchanged ordinary-sunday rule.

Verified against all five possible Sunday positions within the window
(Dec 26/27/28/29/30) plus the "nothing displaces anything" control case,
each with its own dedicated test in the new
tests/calendar/christmas-octave-sunday.test.ts. Updates two existing
tests whose assertions were correct under the old rule and are now
superseded specifically within this window (Stephen/Innocents no longer
win their own Sunday-collision dates there) while confirming the
underlying ordinary-sunday rule is still live and real outside it (Dec
31/St. Silvester).
