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.

Matins now sings "Te decet laus" (Psalterium/Common/Prayers.txt's [Te
decet]) immediately after the Te Deum on every 3-nocturn day, matching
Rule of Benedict ch. 11's close of Vigils. New common text
te-decet-laus.yml, wired into both matins.ts branches that render a Te
Deum; absent on ferial days along with it.
Also drops Psalm 129 (De profundis) from the Lauds ferial Preces and
Psalm 50 (Miserere) from the Vespers ferial Preces, per direct
instruction — both were embedded inline in the live-transcribed text.
Updated the affected fixture tests to key off a versicle that survives
the removal instead of the now-absent psalm text.

A different, wider rule than the psalm/canticle Gloria (Triduum-only):
responsories drop their Gloria for the whole of Passiontide (Passion
Sunday through Holy Saturday), except on a Sancti feast's own day —
live-verified (St. Joseph, Duplex I, 2027-03-19, landing in Passiontide
that year, keeps it; an ordinary ferial day in the same window omits it,
at both Compline and Prime).
Every responsory's stored text differs, Gloria-bearing vs Gloria-free,
by exactly one fixed-wording line, so resolve-common.ts's new
resolveResponsory filters that line out rather than requiring separate
per-season files or a data migration — mechanism first, per the
project's own stated content-authoring order. Wired into the four hours
that have a real responsory (Compline, Prime, Lauds, Vespers); Lauds/
Vespers' existing hand-authored Passiontide-proper responsories were
already Gloria-free and are unaffected.
getDayCollects previously dropped kind: 'octave' commemorations
entirely, so on days where the temporal office keeps its own standing
(the Christmas Octave's own Nativity/Stephen/John/Holy-Innocents stack,
e.g. Dec 30) those octaves contributed nothing but a name in the day
label. Add an octave branch, gated on temporalCategory !== 'ordinary-
feria' -- the same condition resolveOfficeWinner uses -- so an ordinary
octave day's already-substituted primary content never gets a redundant
repeat.
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).

Same eligibility rule as Lauds' psalmody override (a duplex-majus+
saint, or a named temporal feast), factored out to
resolve-common.ts's getOfficeOverrideId since Vespers has no
psalmody-override table of its own to piggyback eligibility on.
Authored via one live command=prayVespera query per id, reusing the
same clean per-saint dates already established for each one's Lauds
office-bundle override. The capitulum turned out to be byte-identical
between Lauds and Vespers for every one of the 30 ids checked, a real
Monastic-rite fact rather than a coincidence — so no
vespers-capitulum-<id>.yml files exist at all; the chapter falls
through to the already-authored lauds-capitulum-<id> directly instead
of duplicating identical content.
St. Scholastica's Vespers responsory, hymn, and versicle needed a hand
translation (same gap she has at Lauds/Terce/Sext/None — the reference
engine has no English for any of her proper content). Two more
one-line English gaps in the shared Immaculate Conception/Nativity of
the BVM responsory were filled with the standard Douay-Rheims/Ave
Maria wording.

Monastic 1617 has no ferial Preces at Vespers, same gap Lauds already
had — the fuller "Preces feriales Vespera" is byte-for-byte the Lauds
ferial Preces with Psalm 129 swapped for Psalm 50 in the source, live-
verified against the same clean Advent feria already used for Lauds.
The short Sunday/feast form turns out to be identical at both hours too,
so it's reused directly rather than duplicated.
Factors the shared ferial-or-vigil predicate out of hours/lauds.ts into
resolve-common.ts's isFerialOrVigil so both hours' -preces cases resolve
it the same way instead of keeping two copies in sync by hand.

Wires resolveOrdo('vespers', ...) end to end: opening versicle,
weekday psalmody (4 groups, handling the joined Ps 115+116 and the
split Ps 138/143 via a PsalmRef-like shape), the chapter/responsory/
hymn/versicle office bundle, Magnificat, day-collects — reusing
resolveEveningDay so First/Second Vespers precedence and the cross-day
commemoration (both added in the previous commit) apply automatically
— and a closing that reuses Lauds' own conclusio, since no distinct
"Vespera" version of that exact text turned up in the source.
getMagnificatAntiphon mirrors getBenedictusAntiphon's saint/temporal-id
lookup order, but also falls back to real content Benedictus has no
equivalent of: the classic ferial set that quotes the Magnificat's own
text in sequence across the week, with the correct Monastic-rubric
variant picked for Tue/Thu/Fri/Sat (two of those needed a fresh
translation where the Monastic Latin diverges from the given English
in content, not just wording).
Also includes Vespers' own seasonal content (Advent/Lent/Passiontide/
Paschaltide chapter+responsory+hymn+versicle), transcribed from the
same source blocks as the weekday content, with the Monastic-specific
hymn variants hand-applied from the source's substitution notation
against each base Roman text (one transcription slip caught and fixed
mid-pass: the Passiontide hymn's closing lines had been copied from
the Roman text instead of the Monastic one actually being
transcribed). Passiontide's own responsory/hymn correctly omit the
Gloria Patri, matching real rubric and the source data as given.
All weekday/seasonal content marked `draft`, not `verified` — read
directly from the reference source, not cross-checked against a live
rendering per day the way the psalmody was.
Six other hours' resolvePart switches needed the three new HourPart
kinds ('vespers-psalmody', 'vespers-office', 'magnificat') added to
their exhaustive not-used lists so they still typecheck; three
pre-existing tests assumed Vespers was still "coming soon" and are
updated to exercise Matins (still the genuine stub) instead.
