resolveMatinsHymn (hours/matins.ts) is a separate mechanism from
resolveOfficeBundle, with its own fallback chain (proper -> active
octave -> Common via SaintRecord.common -> season -> ferial). Only the
Confessor family and Apostle had a matins-hymn-<id>.yml before this
pass; everything else fell through to season/ferial at Matins
specifically, even after the Lauds/Vespers fixes.
Live-verified and authored: common-of-several-martyrs ("Ætérna Christi
múnera, Et Mártyrum victórias"), common-of-an-abbot and
common-of-several-confessors (= Confessor-Not-Bishop's hymn, same label
finding as Lauds/Vespers), common-of-a-virgin-martyr/-virgin ("Vírginis
Proles"), common-of-a-holy-woman/-widow (a genuinely shorter closing-two-
stanzas form, "Hujus obténtu, Deus alme"), Guardian Angels/St.
Michael/St. Gabriel/St. Raphael (reused from St. Michael's Apparition,
confirmed via SanctiM/05-08.txt's own cross-reference), common-of-the-
bvm ("Quem terra, pontus, ǽthera"), Finding/Exaltation of the Holy Cross
("Pange, lingua, gloriósi," the Nativity-themed other half of the same
poem as Lauds' own hymn), and the Transfiguration (byte-identical to its
own Vespers hymn).

Last of the 12-saint individual-Proprio list this session. Live-verified
against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617), 2025-11-13 (clean
year): own chapter (Isa 8:18, "Ecce ego et púeri mei") and own hymn
("Salvéte, cedri Líbani," same text both hours); responsory and versicle
byte-identical to Common-of-Several-Martyrs's own already-authored
content.
This closes the individual-saint Proprio pass: 10 real saints/feasts
imported, 2 flagged stubs (Ss. Alexander etc., Ss. Machabees) confirmed
to need no new content. Combined with the 10 Common categories and the
Guardian-Angels/Archangels fix earlier this session, resolveOfficeBundle
now has real, live-verified Lauds/Vespers content for every gap the
original audit found.

Fully proper feast, live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic
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
hour -- Lauds hymn "Lustris sex qui jam peráctis," Vespers hymn "Vexílla
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
field (a separate day-collect/antiphon lookup) -- without the second
copy, resolveOfficeBundle fell through to the ferial default for her.

Confirmed a real, saint-specific shared override between these two
ancient Roman virgin martyrs specifically, not a general Virgin-Martyr

Common-of-an-Apostle's own already-authored content at Lauds -- reused

Vespers is permanently masked by the Octave of St. John the Baptist's
Nativity closing the same day every year checked, 2026-2030 -- not
modeled in this app), not independently verified.

2033-03-21 (clean year), cross-checked directly against the source's own
Monastic-specific file (SanctiM/03-21.txt), which carries a full proper
office for his Transitus despite the plain secular Sancti file having
none.
Own chapter (Eccli 50:6-7, "Ecce Confessor magnus") and own hymns at
both hours ("Inter ætérnas súperum corónas" Lauds, "Láudibus cives
résonent canóris" Vespers, recounting Subiaco and the founding of Monte
Cassino). Lauds responsory/versicle and Vespers versicle turn out
byte-identical to Common-of-a-Confessor-Bishop's own -- authored
explicitly under his own id rather than left to fall through, since his
actual common (common-of-an-abbot) resolves to a different Confessor-
Not-Bishop responsory that would be wrong here. Vespers has its own
proper responsory invoking him by name ("Sancte Pater Benedícte").
Neither hymn (nor the chapter) has an English rendering in the reference
engine -- own translations, marked draft.

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.

Read straight from the source (Sancti/02-12.txt, Ss. Seven Holy Founders
of the Servite Order -- the only saint in this category): its own [Rule]
says plain "vide C5," no votive number of its own. Duplicated the same 7
files under common-of-several-confessors.
This closes every Common category this session's audit found with real
users -- resolveOfficeBundle now has real Lauds/Vespers content for
every category, not just the two it started with.

Methodology upgrade this session: read each saint's own Sancti/MM-DD.txt
[Rank]/[Rule] field directly instead of hunting for a per-saint clean
year to live-query -- it states the real Common assignment (or a direct
proper-content inheritance) with zero calendar dependency.
Guardian Angels/St. Gabriel/St. Raphael the Archangels' own files say
"vide C4," but that's a Missal/Mass-propers designation -- their real
Monastic-breviary file (SanctiM/10-02.txt) cross-references St. Michael's
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
Lauds/Vespers files under each of the three saints' own ids (proper
content, not a Common fallback), live-verified on their own real 2026
days.

Both genuinely distinct from Virgin(-Martyr) -- different chapter
Prov 31:10-11 "Mulíerem fortem," different hymn "Fortem viríli péctore"
-- 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

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.

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

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.

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.

days. Vespers bundle (hymn "Iste Conféssor Dómini sacrátus", reusing
the already-authored Matins hymn translation) sourced via the

ferial-fallback proof to St. Anthony Abbot now that Fabian/Sebastian
resolve through this new category instead.

Combines it with the existing John 21 reading on Saturday. Also brings
the plan back in line with matins.ts's own documented invariant that
the user's reading plan never assigns a Gospel reading on a Sunday.

Fixes the ferial-hymn fallback for St. Louis and 82 other confessor
saints across all 5 confessor common ids, using the pre-Urban VIII
(Monastic-track "sacrátus") textual variant with a fresh English
translation rather than the reference engine's mismatched reused one.

resolveMatinsHymn gained a Common-category tier (override -> octave ->
Common category -> season -> ferial), reusing matins-psalmody-
overrides.ts's own getSaintRecord(id)?.common lookup pattern. The
invitatory antiphon (invitatoryParts), previously one hardcoded fixed
text for every day of the year with only full-vs-incipit doubling
varying by rank, now goes through a real resolveMatinsInvitatoryText
(override -> Common category -> season -> ferial, no octave tier) before
the doubling step.
Content authored this pass: Common-of-an-Apostle only, both hymn
(matins-hymn-common-of-an-apostle.yml, "Aeterna Christi munera") and
invitatory antiphon (matins-invitatory-common-of-an-apostle.yml, "Regem
Apostolorum Dominum"), both read directly from the reference engine's
Commune/C1.txt. Live-verified: St. Bartholomew (2026-08-24) and St.
Andrew (2026-11-30) both now resolve to this Common's text.

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.

All 53 nocturn-readings files with a responsory field started straight
into the text with no leading R., unlike octave-readings' own R./V.
convention. Fixed in content per direct instruction (not injected at
render time), matching each file's own existing plain V./R. style rather
than switching to octave-readings' R./V. glyphs.

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.

Extends TemporalFeastRecord's date anchor from a single easterOffset
number into a MovableAnchor union: 'easter' (unchanged), plus
'nth-sunday-of-month' (nth: -1 for "last") and 'nth-sunday-of-advent' --
both new anchor kinds resolve to "Nth Sunday counting from an anchor
date," just with a different anchor (first-of-month vs. Advent's own
start, which is itself always a Sunday). Adds calendar/temporal.ts's
sundayOnOrAfter to support the month case.
Migrates christ-the-king.yml onto the new nth-sunday-of-month anchor
(month: 10, nth: -1) with a new `unconditional: true` flag replacing its
old always-wins-no-rank-check bespoke function -- retiring
applyChristTheKing and its lastSundayOfOctober helper from
calendar/index.ts entirely. Down to two bespoke override functions left
(marian-saturday's date-less fallback, christmas-octave-sunday's
fixed-date-range Sunday search), both structurally different from the
Nth-Sunday-from-anchor shape this table now covers.
No behavior change -- the full existing Christ the King test suite
passes unchanged through the new generic path.

The bespoke applyImmaculateHeart function (following the applyMarianSaturday/
applyChristTheKing precedent of one hand-written override function per
feast) doesn't scale: several more feasts are planned that all reduce to
"weekday N days from Easter Sunday" (Ember/Rogation days, more
Sacred-Heart-family Marian devotions, St. Joseph's pre-1955 Eastertide
feast, Lenten Friday Passion devotions), and one-off functions invite
subtle ordering bugs -- applyImmaculateHeart had to be sequenced after
applyMarianSaturday specifically or it would have been silently clobbered.
Replaced with calendar/movable-feasts.ts's generic applyMovableFeasts,
which scans calendar/temporal-feasts.ts's existing per-feast YAML records
for a new optional `easterOffset` field. Adding the next movable feast is
now a new data/calendar/temporal-feasts/<id>.yml file with `rank` and
`easterOffset` set, not a new TypeScript function. Same rank-compared,
commemorate-the-loser semantics as before, just centralized instead of
duplicated per feast.
christ-the-king, marian-saturday, and christmas-octave-sunday stay as
their own functions -- they're structurally different rules (a fixed
month-position search, a date-less fallback default, and a fixed-date-
range Sunday search, respectively), not Easter offsets, so force-fitting
them into this table wouldn't actually simplify anything.
No behavior change -- the existing Immaculate Heart of Mary test suite
passes unchanged through the new generic path.

Fixed Aug 22 collided outright with the Assumption's own octave-closing
day (both this project's blended calendar tracks are kept deliberately,
so one shouldn't permanently suppress the other). Moved IHM to the
Saturday after the Feast of the Sacred Heart -- its real diocesan date
from 1914 until Pius XII's 1944 fixed-date decree, and also the date the
1969 reform returned to.
Required real new mechanism, not just a data move: a new bespoke
calendar/index.ts override (applyImmaculateHeart, following the existing
applyMarianSaturday/applyChristTheKing precedent), a move from the
sanctoral saints store to the temporal-feasts store (different propers
lookup entirely), and a real bug fix in matins.ts's nocturnReadingIds,
which only ever picked up a *sanctoral* winner's own reading file.

Every non-Sunday, non-Duplex+ Matins nocturn rendered bare psalms with
no antiphon at all. Sourced each psalm's antiphon from Divinum
Officium's Monastic Matins psalter and regrouped to fit
psalter-distribution.yml's own already-established (and non-historical)
weekday psalm redistribution, since the source's own per-weekday
antiphon pairings don't survive that reslice intact.
Every octave-reading yml's source field held only the Latin
attribution copied verbatim from the breviary text; add the matching
English translation now that the field carries both languages.

Assembled from already-verified Assumption pieces (Benedictus

Monastic 1617 itself is inconsistent: the feast/closing octave day
render the old pre-dogma "Famulórum tuórum..." collect, but the
interior octave days (16/18/19/21) render the newer "Omnípotens
sempitérne Deus, qui Immaculátam..." collect from the 1954 Divino
Afflatu revision -- a data cross-reference slip in the reference
engine, not a deliberate rubric. vu already used one collect uniformly
across the whole octave rather than replicating the split; switch that
shared collect to the newer text per user preference.
Lauds/Vespers were falling back to a bare collect for her commemoration
since only the collect had been authored. Live-verified the antiphon
and versicle against the reference engine (Divino Afflatu - 1954,
1955-08-21, the nearest year her feast actually fell on a Sunday and
was commemorated rather than won).

Same `wins: duplex` override as the Assumption's and Pentecost's
octaves, applied to two more common-class octaves. Accepted side
effect: St. Damasus (Dec 11) and St. Nicholas of Tolentino (Sep 10),
both Semiduplex, no longer tie-and-win an ordinary octave day here --
they're now commemorated instead of winning outright.
