Closes the last 2 of 20 Matins psalmody-override Common categories. The
Monastic-1617 track alone was a genuine dead end here -- no real saint
in the Monastic corpus ever invokes this Common, so there was no live
Monastic rendering to verify a hand-resolution against. Resolved per
explicit user authorization to source secular-track content directly,
consistent with this project's existing blended-source design: combined
a direct read of CommuneM/C7.txt's own psalm-substitution rule with one
live secular query (version=Tridentine - 1906) against St. Bridget of
Sweden to supply the actual antiphon text.
Nocturn 1/2 end up near-identical to common-of-a-virgin-martyr.yml (one
antiphon substituted, since Virgin-Martyr's own text literally calls her
a Virgin) -- too close to alias, not close enough to merge, same
reasoning as common-of-a-confessor vs. common-of-a-confessor-bishop.
Nocturn 3 is genuinely Widow-specific (Parable of the Pearl of Great
Price); its English has no source counterpart and is self-translated,
marked draft-quality.
common-of-several-women-martyrs aliased here: its own Monastic template
whole-file-inherits the same base with no genuine Matins-nocturn
override anywhere in the traced redirect chain.

Read the reference engine's CommuneM/*.txt templates directly (C6a,
C4a, C4b), rather than trial-and-error live queries, to confirm each
whole-file-inherits its parent Common's Matins nocturn psalmody with no
override. Live-verified byte-identical against St. Scholastica (Virgin
-> Virgin-Martyr) and St. Ambrose (Confessor-Doctor -> Confessor-Bishop);
Confessor-Pope -> Confessor-Bishop aliased on the source redirect chain
alone, since none of vu's three Pope-Confessor saints exist on the
Monastic-1617 calendar at all (matching the convention their own files
already use for every other hour).

Her psalm numbers and all three nocturn versicles match Common-of-a-
Virgin(-Martyr) exactly, but her page is headed "ex Proprio Sanctorum"
and her antiphons genuinely narrate her own rainstorm-miracle episode --
real proper content, not Common text, so she gets her own saint-level
file rather than being left to the Common fallback.

lauds-capitulum-st-gabriel-archangel.yml carried Apparition of St.
Michael's own capitulum ("Significávit Deus...") under Gabriel's id --
found in passing while authoring his Matins psalmody. His real
capitulum, read directly from the reference engine's Sancti/03-24.txt
([Capitulum Laudes]), is Daniel's own account of the angel's visitation
(Dan 9:21-22), genuinely proper to Gabriel, not shared with Apparition
despite sharing the same hymn. No separate vespers-capitulum file exists
for this id, so the fix covers both hours via vespersCapitulumForOverride.
Updated tests/hours/lauds.test.ts: removed Gabriel from the shared-
chapter assertion loop (Guardian Angels/Raphael still legitimately share
Apparition's chapter, confirmed via their own saint files' explicit
source cross-references) and added a dedicated test for his own chapter.

Common-of-an-Angel doesn't exist in the reference engine -- every angel
feast has genuine proper Matins content of its own, so these are
saint-level overrides, not a Common category. Transcribed directly from
the reference engine's source files (Sancti/05-08 etc.) after a live-CGI
attempt mis-extracted a mid-nocturn antiphon change.
St. Michael needed his own file: the psalmody-override lookup keys off
the day's resolved winner id, not the `propers` field, and his own
Matins antiphons/lessons turn out to genuinely differ from Apparition's
despite his calendar file's "word-for-word identical" claim (true only
of the collect).

Commune/C7's own invitatory antiphon ("Laudémus Deum nostrum * In
confessióne beátæ N..") needs a per-saint genitive-singular name, unlike
every other Common invitatory antiphon currently authored. Exports
resolve-common.ts's existing substituteName helper (previously only used
by getDayCollect for collectCommon/collectName) and wires it into
resolveMatinsInvitatoryText via a new SaintRecord.invitatoryName field
-- kept separate from collectName since the two templates' {N}
placeholders don't always need the same grammatical case. Fills in real
declined names for the 3 saints using common-of-a-holy-woman (Anne,
Martha, Mary Magdalene).

resolveMatinsInvitatoryText's Common-category tier existed but only had
Common-of-an-Apostle authored, so every other Common category fell all
the way through to the plain ferial invitatory antiphon regardless of
rank (e.g. St. Joseph Calasanctius, 2026-08-27, Confessor). Adds the
Confessor family (5 duplicated ids, matching the hymn's own precedent),
Martyr family (2 ids + Several Martyrs), Virgin family (2 ids), and
Dedication — all read directly from the reference engine's own
Commune/C-number [Invit] lines. Holy Women (C7) needs a name-template
mechanism this project doesn't have yet for invitatory antiphons, and
General/All Saints (C9) turned out to be a mislabeled backlog item (C9 is
actually the Office of the Dead) — both logged in TODO.md instead.

common-of-an-abbot's own P/T/S/N antiphon files already claimed to cover
common-of-a-confessor and common-of-a-confessor-not-bishop too ("an Abbot
is himself a Confessor"), but the matching duplicate files were never
authored — so the ~36 saints using either of those two ids (bare
common-of-a-confessor is the more common of the two) got no minor-hour
antiphon at all. Adds the 8 missing files, copying the abbot file's
already-verified text, matching this category's existing duplicate-not-
alias convention (see matins-hymn-common-of-a-confessor.yml vs.
matins-hymn-common-of-a-confessor-not-bishop.yml).

Nocturn count stays rank-based (readings only), but psalm content for an
exactly-Duplex sanctoral winner with no proper now always uses that
weekday's real ferial psalms instead of Common's own psalm numbers (or a
bare mechanical chunk) — so the psalter actually gets prayed rather than
repeating the same dozen Common psalms. Each nocturn's antiphon comes from
the saint's own minorHoursCommon Terce/Sext/None text (real, distinct per
nocturn, already proven non-psalm-specific), with Common's own Matins
versicle per nocturn; falls back to bare only where that content isn't
authored. Duplex-majus+ winners are unaffected.

Closes the last content gap flagged when Circumcision was added: its
rubric borrows Christmas Day's propers wholesale, but Christmas Day
itself has no hymn authored anywhere in vu yet. Lauds reuses the
already-verified Christmas Octave Sunday text (byte-identical in the

a genuinely separate hymn from the secular "Jesu, Redemptor omnium",
with a fresh draft English translation since none exists in the

Adds pre-1955 TemporalFeastRecords (rank duplex-1-classis, real octaves)
for the three "feasts of the Lord" that were previously only referenced
as bare date offsets: Corpus Christi/Sacred Heart's own days already
couldn't lose to a sanctoral candidate, but with no record the day fell
back to the generic Trinity-week feria collect and never displayed its
real name; Ascension had no protection at all against an ordinary saint
winning it outright. Sacred Heart's own record carries the
forbidsSuccessorCommemoration flag added in the prior commit, refusing to
commemorate Most Precious Blood on the rare late-Easter date they fall
adjacent.
octave.wins is set to duplex on all three, matching Pentecost's own
verified threshold, despite a known conflict with a previously
live-verified case (St. Ubald winning First Vespers within Ascension's
own octave) -- kept per direct instruction; the affected tests (Ubald,
St. Margaret of Scotland) were updated to assert the new behavior, and
the tradeoff is documented in ascension.yml and TODO.md. A handful of
unrelated test fixtures that happened to land inside these new octave
windows were moved to nearby clean dates.

A commemoration that only exists because Vespers/Compline crossed a day
boundary now renders as "(of today)"/"(of tomorrow)" in English and the
real Divino Afflatu "de præcedenti"/"de sequenti" in Latin, instead of
showing silently with no indication it's a cross-day artifact.
Also adds forbidsSuccessorCommemoration to SaintRecord and
TemporalFeastRecord: a feast can now refuse to commemorate whatever wins
the next day at its own kept Second Vespers, the feast-side mirror of the
day-side privilege calendar/commemorations.ts already modeled. Left unset
everywhere for now (a no-op) -- it exists so the next commit's Sacred
Heart record has somewhere to carry the real, live-sourced exclusion
against Most Precious Blood.

Tridentinum 1617), 2027-05-03 for the Finding (its own 2026 date
collides with a privileged Sunday) and 2026-09-14 for the Exaltation.
Own chapter (Phil 2:5-7), own distinct responsory/hymn/versicle at each

Regis pródeunt," both with real Alleluias baked into their own text
(confirmed permanent via the Vespers hymn's own "In hoc Pascháli gáudio"
line, not seasonal contamination).
Authored under two ids (finding-of-the-holy-cross and proper-to-the-
finding-of-the-holy-cross): Exaltation's own saint file sets common:
proper-to-the-finding-of-the-holy-cross, a different id than its propers

keeps his own evening) should have commemorated 2026-08-25's St. Louis

commemorationOf's own doc comment flagged as "inferred by symmetry, not
independently live-verified." Live-verifying now shows the two
directions genuinely differ: a Simplex predecessor losing to tomorrow's
First Vespers is correctly excluded (Aug 7 Donatus case, "nihil de
præcedenti"), but a Simplex successor displaced because today keeps its
own Vespers IS still commemorated (Aug 24->25, "commemoratio de

Finished the "ferial/other" audit bucket via each saint's own source
file. Vigils (9 saints) are not a gap at all: every vigil's own [Rule]
explicitly says "Responsory Feria"/"Versum Feria" -- deliberate rubric,
matching this app's existing isFerialOrVigil convention. Even the "ex
C1v" tag on the 6 apostle vigils resolves to the same plain ferial text
when live-queried, confirming no override applies to the Lauds/Vespers
bundle for any vigil.
Common-of-the-BVM (5 feasts) is a real category: each source file says
plain "ex C11"/"vide C11". Live-verified votive=C11: chapter Sir 24:14,
Lauds hymn "O gloriósa Dómina" (the same pre-Urban-VIII text as the
Annunciation's own separate proper), Vespers hymn "Ave maris stella,"
same responsory at both hours, distinct versicles per hour.
Surfaced one masked collision: the Annunciation now resolves through
this Common instead of the ferial default (real improvement, still
interim until its own proper content is imported). Moved the
Passiontide-seasonal-office Vespers test off its date (Mar 25) onto the
clean Mar 30.

Guardian Angels/St. Gabriel/St. Raphael the Archangels' own files say
"vide C4," but that's a Missal/Mass-propers designation -- their real

Apparition (Sancti/05-08, already fully authored in this app) directly
for the chapter/responsory at every hour. No common-of-an-angel category
exists in the source at all. Duplicated St. Michael's Apparition's 7

-- but share that category's exact responsory pattern and versicle
byte-for-byte in both hours. Live-verified via St. Anne's own real day
(Jul 26). St. Monica's real day (May 4) confirms common-of-a-widow
shares the identical content with common-of-a-holy-woman, so the same 7
files were duplicated under that id too -- first content authored for
either category at all.
Proof: St. Anne's and St. Monica's own days for Lauds, St. Margaret of
Scotland's real First-Vespers anticipation (Jun 9 -> 10) for Vespers.

common-of-a-confessor-doctor (4 saints) is another "same content,
different id" case: live-verified votive=C4a byte-identical to plain
votive=C4 (Common-of-a-Confessor-Bishop), so duplicated verbatim rather
than authored fresh, matching the already-existing matins-hymn-common-
of-a-confessor-doctor.yml precedent.
common-of-an-apostle (3 saints/feasts) is genuinely distinct: chapter
Eph 2:19-20, hymn "Exsúltet cælum láudibus" (byte-identical Lauds/
Vespers), shared versicle "Annuntiavérunt ópera Dei." Also duplicated
under the separate common-of-apostles (plural) id used by the Octave of
Ss. Peter and Paul.
Proofs: St. John Damascene (own day) + St. Robert Bellarmine (First
Vespers) for Confessor-Doctor; Commemoration of St. Paul (own day) + the
Beheading of St. John the Baptist (First Vespers) for Apostle.

Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617)
votive=C6: chapter 2 Cor 10:17-18, hymn "Jesu, coróna Vírginum" (byte-
identical Lauds/Vespers), shared versicle "Diffúsa est grátia in lábiis
tuis" -- only the two responsories differ between the hours. Cross-
checked plain common-of-a-virgin (St. Praxedes) renders the same real
content, matching the already-existing benedictus-antiphon-common-of-a-
virgin.yml precedent -- duplicated the same 7 files under that id too.
Proof: St. Apollonia's own clean year (2029-02-09, her 2026 date collides
with St. John of Matha) for Lauds, St. Praxedes's real First-Vespers
anticipation for Vespers.

Same finding as common-of-a-confessor: live-verified (St. Maurus, Jan 15;
St. Odo, Feb 7) that Common-of-an-Abbot's real Lauds/Vespers content is
identical to Common-of-a-Confessor-Not-Bishop's -- an Abbot isn't
necessarily a bishop, so the traditional rite reuses the plain Confessor
common for them. Duplicated the same 7 files under this id, matching the
existing benedictus-antiphon-common-of-an-abbot.yml precedent. Proof
tests on St. Maurus (Duplex II. classis, own Lauds + real First-Vespers
anticipation Jan 14 -> 15).

Fixed a real audit-methodology bug first: the bulk gap-audit was sampling
each saint's own date via prayVespera, which reflects whatever saint
claims First Vespers that evening (often a neighboring day's), not the
sampled saint's own category. Redid it via prayLaudes (no anticipation).
That surfaced the real finding: common-of-a-confessor (37 saints, this
app's largest remaining gap) isn't a distinct liturgical Common -- it's
common-of-a-confessor-not-bishop under a different label. St. Joseph's
and St. Thomas Aquinas's chapter is byte-identical to the already-
authored Sir 31:8-9 text, and several of the 37 saints' own file comments
already say "vide C5" (Confessor Not a Bishop) directly. Not relabeled
across the 37 saint files, since matins-hymn-common-of-a-confessor.yml
and benedictus-antiphon-common-of-a-confessor.yml already establish this
plain id as the real, working one for those saints' Matins/Benedictus
content -- duplicated the Lauds/Vespers bundle under this id too, to
match that existing convention.
Updates two existing tests whose dates collided with this fix: the
FERIAL_MONDAY constant (moved off St. Raymond Nonnatus's own day) and a
new Vespers proof on St. Joseph's First Vespers.

Third Common category (17 real users) with no Lauds/Vespers bundle
authored. Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum
1617) votive=C4: chapter Sir 44:16-17 "Ecce sacérdos magnus," Lauds hymn
"Jesu Redémptor ómnium," shared versicle "Justum dedúxit Dóminus per vias
rectas." Found the Vespers hymn is byte-identical to Common-of-a-
Confessor-Not-Bishop's own ("Iste Conféssor Dómini sacrátus") even though
the chapter, both responsories, and the Lauds hymn all genuinely differ
between the two categories -- reused that already-authored text verbatim
rather than re-deriving it.
No real Duplex-II-classis+ saint exists in this category, so the Vespers
proof uses St. Ubald's real First-Vespers anticipation instead of a
votive-only proof. Updates one existing test (2026-04-20, Paschaltide
seasonal office) whose date turned out to also anticipate St. Anselm's
First Vespers, previously masked by this same gap.

Next-largest remaining Common category (22 real users) with no Lauds/
Vespers bundle authored, same fix pattern as Confessor-Not-Bishop and
Martyr(-Bishop). Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic
Tridentinum 1617) votive=C3: chapter Sap 3:1-3, Lauds hymn "Rex glorióse
Mártyrum," Vespers hymn "Sanctórum méritis ínclyta gáudia," shared
versicle "Exsultábunt Sancti in glória." Cross-checked votive=C3/C3a/C3b
byte-identical, confirming the Missal-collect split (plain-martyrs vs.
Pope-martyrs) doesn't carry through to this Office bundle. Proof tested
on Ss. Placid and Companions (Duplex II. classis, real un-outranked
Second Vespers).

St. Zephyrinus (Aug 26, common-of-a-martyr-bishop, Simplex) claims First
Vespers over St. Louis's Aug 25, but that evening was showing the plain
ferial hymn instead of a real Common-of-a-Martyr hymn: no content had
been authored yet for this Common category's Lauds/Vespers bundle, so
resolveOfficeBundle's chapter lookup came back missing and the whole
bundle fell through to the ferial default.
Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617)
votive=C2b: chapter Jac 1:12, Lauds hymn "Martyr Dei, qui unicum," Vespers
hymn "Deus tuorum militum," shared versicle "Justus ut palma florebit."
Used the votive-office view rather than a real saint's own day for the
same structural reason as the earlier Confessor-Not-Bishop fix: every
real Common-of-a-Martyr-Bishop saint either has proper content of his own
(St. Lawrence, St. Stephen) or never reaches the rank needed to keep his
own Vespers (St. Zephyrinus, St. Callistus). Cross-checked votive=C2/C2a/
C2b/C2-1 all render identical text, so the same 7 files were duplicated
under the plain common-of-a-martyr id too (St. Hadrian, St. Hermes, St.
Fidelis of Sigmaringen).
Updates one existing Vespers test whose date (2026-03-03) turned out to
also anticipate St. Lucius I's First Vespers, previously masked by this
same content gap; adds two new proof tests and a TODO.md entry.

day-nav.ts's header always resolved via resolveDay(date) regardless of
selected hour, so viewing Vespers/Compline on a day whose evening
anticipates tomorrow's First Vespers (e.g. Aug 25, 2026: St. Louis's day,
but St. Zephyrinus claims First Vespers per calendar/vespers.ts) still
showed today's saint in the header while the hour's actual content had
already switched to tomorrow's. Now uses resolveEveningDay for those two
hours specifically.
Also adds an explicit "First Vespers (of tomorrow)" / "Second Vespers (of
today)" status line to the Vespers header, via new
getVespersStatusLabel(), so the anticipation/commemoration result is
visible rather than only inferable from which saint's name shows up.

Day navigation (prev/today/next) and the language toggle were plain
buttons wired to click handlers only; switched them to real <a href>
elements (built via router's new exported urlFor) so right-click,
middle-click, and open-in-new-tab work, with a click handler that
still SPA-routes on a plain left-click and lets modified clicks fall
through to normal browser navigation.
Language selection is now reflected in the URL as a ?lang= query
param (parsed/pushed by router.ts, omitted for the default single-
English case to keep that URL clean), so a shared link preserves the
viewer's chosen language(s).
hour-list.ts now groups the 8 hours into three traditional rows
(night office, day hours, evening) instead of one flat wrapped list.

hasFirstVespers() required Semiduplex-or-higher, so a bare Simplex
feast could never anticipate the evening before it. Live-verified
this was too strict: St. Zephyrinus (Aug 26, plain Simplex) claims
First Vespers over St. Louis (Aug 25, also Simplex) in the reference
engine -- "Vespera de sequenti; nihil de præcedenti." A Simplex feast
has no Second Vespers of its own, but it does still get First Vespers;
there's no rank floor at all, only keepsOwnSecondVespers' separate
question of whether the preceding day outranks the claim.
This also surfaces St. Zephyrinus's Magnificat antiphon, which now
actually gets used (St. Louis, previously shown by the old bug, is
permanently boxed out of ever governing real Vespers in this merged
calendar -- Bartholomew outranks him the evening before, Zephyrinus
the evening after, every year -- so his own Magnificat antiphon was
never authored). Added st-zephyrinus-magnificat-antiphon.yml, live-
verified bilingual text ("Iste Sanctus...").

Vespers had no suffrages (Holy Cross, BVM, Joseph, Apostles, Peace)
at all -- types.ts even documented it as Lauds-only. Live-verified
against the reference engine (Monastic Tridentinum 1617): the
"Suffragium" block after the day's collect(s) renders byte-identical
after both Lauds and Vespers, so this was an honest content gap, not
a deliberate omission.
Extracted the suffrage ids/labels and full omission logic (Double-or-
higher, Christ the King, Advent/Christmastide/Passiontide, active
octaves, Cross/Marian-Saturday special cases) out of lauds.ts into a
shared resolveSuffrages() in resolve-common.ts, and wired it into
vespers.ts/vespers.yml the same way Lauds already uses it.

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.

Every capitulum-*.yml under the three Little Hours combined the chapter,
"R. Deo grátias"/"Thanks be to God", and the trailing V./R. pair into one
flat single-line string. The .lang-column CSS already renders on
white-space: pre-line (as little-hour-conclusio.yml's block-scalar text
already demonstrated), so the run-together rendering was purely a missing
line-break bug in the source YAML, not a CSS or resolver issue.

isSundayOrFeastOffice treats any sanctoral winner, Vigils included, as a
"feast," so a Vigil day was getting the Sunday/feast Preces. Add a
by-day-kind 'vigilIsFerial' flag, set only on Prime's Preces part (its
capitulum keeps the old behavior), so a Vigil-ranked winner now routes
to the ferial Preces text instead.

Monastic Prime's own Dominicales Preces drop the "Et ego ad te, Domine,
clamavi..." versicle block and shorten the closing "Miserere nostri,
Domine... Fiat misericordia tua..." set. Prefer the secular Tridentine
form instead (live-verified against Divinum Officium's "Tridentine -
1906" version), keeping "beato Patri nostro Benedicto" in the Confiteor
by explicit choice even though the real secular Confiteor omits it.
The Sunday/ferial by-day-kind split stays as-is; the ferial form
(prime-preces-feriales.yml) is unchanged and continues to show on every
ferial day by deliberate choice, more generously than the historical
rubric.
