St. Mark's and St. Luke's own reference-engine rule files say "ex C1a",
byte-identical to plain C1 (Apostles) -- an Evangelist-not-Apostle
reuses the Apostles' own scheme, not a separate one.
Ss. Perpetua and Felicity's own file says "vide C7b"; C7b returns the
same four psalm numbers and group/canticle/Laudate antiphons as plain
C7 (Holy Woman) -- its only real difference is the Magnificat/Benedictus
antiphon, handled by a separate, already-existing mechanism, not this
psalmody table. (First-draft duplicate category files for this id were
written and then deleted once this was caught by diffing line-by-line
against the live output.)

Genuinely its own scheme (votive=C8) -- unlike every other Common,
Vespers' numbers (109/110/111/147) don't match any other category's
pattern. Lauds' own version is left unauthored: its OT canticle
("Canticum Ieremiae") has never been transcribed anywhere in this app,
so that file isn't written rather than guessed at (see TODO.md).

No dedicated numbered Common exists for Angels in the reference engine;
St. Michael's own rule says plain "Psalmi Dominica" with his own proper
antiphons, which Guardian Angels (no proper of her own) reuses
byte-for-byte at both hours. Authored as a reusable category so any
future proper-less Angel addition benefits automatically.

Vespers psalms on Mon-Sat were silently following the anticipated
First-Vespers day's weekday instead of the actual calendar date's, since
resolvePsalmody reused resolveEveningDay's result (correct for
propers/office, which legitimately borrow tomorrow's identity, but wrong
for the ferial psalm cycle, which has no per-feast override of its own).
Also adds a duplex-majus+ Common-category psalmody override to both
Lauds and Vespers, mirroring Matins' existing saint/category mechanism.
Lauds already had a per-feast-only override; Vespers had none. 8 of 24
Common categories authored for both hours, live-verified against the
reference engine.

Replaces the lesson+isGospel flag with a dedicated 'gospel' ResolvedPart
carrying an optional nested homily. Previously a Gospel pericope and its
patristic homily were two separate pool entries, which the front-light
1/1/rest nocturn slicer could split into different nocturns purely by
index. buildReadingPool now folds an isGospel:true reading and its
immediately-following same-nocturn homily into a single pool entry, so
the pairing is structural rather than a convention the slicer has to
honor. hour-view.ts renders the pair as one visually grouped section.

When tonight anticipates tomorrow's First Vespers, resolvePsalmody was
keying off the borrowed day's weekday instead of today's actual calendar
weekday, silently shifting the fixed 6-day psalm rotation. The psalm
cycle has no per-feast override and must stay on today's own place in
the rotation regardless of whose office governs the evening's propers.

Screen readers announced "list, N items" for continuous liturgical text
that isn't conceptually a list; styling is class-based so no CSS changes
were needed.
When already viewing today, clicking Today now snaps the selected hour
to whatever hour would be default for the current wall-clock time
(same as a fresh visit to /vu); when viewing another date it still just
jumps to today while preserving the current hour, as before. The link's
href is built from the same todayTargetHour() decision as the click
handler, so right-click -> open in new tab lands on the same target
instead of following a stale href.

This Duplex I classis feast (instituted by Pius IX, 1847) didn't exist
anywhere in vu's calendar. Dated per the older, pre-1955 reckoning --
Wednesday after the 2nd Sunday after Easter (Easter+17) -- rather than the
1913 Pius X reform's later placement on the 3rd Sunday after Easter
itself, per direct instruction. Mechanism: one new temporal-feast record
plus a new EASTER_OFFSET_STARTS table entry (the only code change --
everything else is the existing generic anchor-driven resolution).
Authored the feast day's own Matins reading and its full 7-day octave
(days 2/3/4/6/7/8; day 5, the Sunday, has no override in the source at
all, correctly left unauthored).
Fixed one real collateral effect: an existing fixed-year calendar test
(St. Pudentiana vs. St. Peter Celestine, 2038-05-19) broke because that
date now falls on this octave's own closing day, tying Celestine's rank
against the octave's threshold -- the app's own documented tie-break
correctly favors the octave that year. Moved the proof date to 2033.
Also bumped the PWA precache file-size cap (6 MiB -> 8 MiB) since this
content pull pushed the main bundle past the previous limit.

St. Stephen, St. John the Apostle, and Holy Innocents each have an 8-day
octave overlapping Christmas week, but their intervening days (2-7) carry
no distinct Lectio content in the source -- every suffix file checked at
Dec 27-31 is a bare @Sancti/MM-DD alias, correctly left unauthored, same
pattern as the fixed-date octaves. Only each octave's own closing "In
Octava" day (Jan 2/3/4 respectively) carries real content: St. Augustine's
sermon on Stephen + St. Jerome on Matt 23:34-35; St. Augustine's Tractate
36 on John + St. John Chrysostom on John 21:20-24; St. Augustine's first
sermon for Childermas + St. John Chrysostom on Matt 2:13-18.
This closes the octave-readings backlog entirely -- every fixed-date,
movable-feast, and Christmas-week saint octave has now been audited by
calendar date against the source.

Ascension, Corpus Christi, and Sacred Heart octave content lives in the
reference engine's Tempora/ directory, keyed by liturgical offset from
Easter rather than calendar date. All three octaves' 7 non-feast days
(day 2 through the closing day) turned out to have genuine, distinct
patristic content -- unlike the fixed-date octaves, none were bare
vide-only days. 21 files authored across the three octaves.
Found and fixed one duplication along the way: each octave's own Sunday
day turned out to duplicate content already authored under a different id
in the earlier post-Pentecost temporal-cycle sweep, since a numbered
post-Pentecost Sunday and the Sunday within Corpus Christi's or Sacred
Heart's octave are structurally the same calendar day every year. Both
duplicate files (corpus-christi-octave-day-4, sacred-heart-octave-day-3)
were dropped after confirming the reading still surfaces via the existing
temporal id.

Re-auditing the two prior sanctoral bulk passes (pre-1955 Tridentine track
and SanctiM Monastic-1617 track) turned up one saint missed by both:
St. Felix I (May 30), authored the same single-lesson shape as
st-pontian.yml. This closes the saint-level side of the Matins
patristic/hagiographic reading backlog.
Separately, auditing octave-day content by calendar date (the reference
engine keys it that way, not by octave-day-number) found two real gaps in
already-partially-authored fixed-date octaves: Immaculate Conception's own
closing day (Dec 15, Pius IX bull + St. Epiphanius homily) and Nativity of
the BVM's day 3 (Sep 10, St. Jerome on Matthew's genealogy -- no usable
reference English, own translation used, draft). Every other apparent gap
in these octaves was confirmed a correctly-empty vide-only day, not a
further gap.

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,

whole-file-inherits its parent Common's Matins nocturn psalmody with no

-> 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

Her psalm numbers and all three nocturn versicles match Common-of-a-
Virgin(-Martyr) exactly, but her page is headed "ex Proprio Sanctorum"

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

by getDayCollect for collectCommon/collectName) and wires it into
resolveMatinsInvitatoryText via a new SaintRecord.invitatoryName field

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.

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

boundary now renders as "(of today)"/"(of tomorrow)" in English and the

the next day at its own kept Second Vespers, the feast-side mirror of the

Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617),
2026-03-25 (fixed date, always winnable). Own chapter (Isa 7:14-15,
"Ecce virgo concípiet") and own versicle ("Ave, María, grátia plena")
at both hours, own Vespers responsory ("Ángelus Dómini * Nuntiávit
Maríæ," the opening of the Angelus). Lauds responsory and both hours'
hymns turn out byte-identical to Common-of-the-BVM's own already-
authored content -- reused verbatim.

Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617),
2029-01-21: byte-identical to St. Agatha's own override (Sir 51:1-3).
Confirmed a real, saint-specific shared override between these two
ancient Roman virgin martyrs specifically, not a general Virgin-Martyr
rank-tier variant -- St. Lucy (also a Canon-of-the-Mass virgin martyr)
uses the plain Common chapter on her own clean day. Responsory, hymn,
and versicle reuse Common-of-a-Virgin-Martyr's own content.

Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617),
2026-02-05: only the chapter is genuinely her own (Sir 51:1-3,
"Confitébor tibi, Dómine, Rex"). Responsory, hymn, and versicle are all
byte-identical to Common-of-a-Virgin-Martyr's own already-authored
content -- duplicated under her own id.

Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617),
2035-06-30 (clean year): only the chapter is genuinely his own (2 Tim
4:7-8, "Bonum certámen certávi" -- Paul's own "I have fought the good
fight"). Responsory, hymn, and versicle are all byte-identical to
Common-of-an-Apostle's own already-authored content at Lauds -- reused
under his own id, since resolveOfficeBundle resolves a whole bundle per
id, not per part. Vespers content inferred by the same pattern (his real
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.
Updates one existing test whose date (2026-06-30) now correctly shows
his own proper chapter winning over the plain Common fallback.

Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617),
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.

Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617),
2033-03-12 (clean year, per his own saint file's comment). Own chapter
(Eccli 50:1, "Ecce sacérdos magnus... suffúlsit domum") and own hymns at
both hours ("Mella cor obdulcántia" Lauds, "Anglórum jam Apóstolus"
Vespers, the latter recounting his sending Augustine of Canterbury and
the "non Angli sed Angeli" legend); responsory and versicle turn out
byte-identical to Common-of-a-Confessor-Bishop's own, reused verbatim.
Neither hymn has an English rendering in the reference engine at all --
own original translations, marked draft.

User-reported: 2026-08-24 Vespers (St. Bartholomew, Duplex II. classis,
keeps his own evening) should have commemorated 2026-08-25's St. Louis
(Simplex), but didn't. This was the exact untested asymmetry the old
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
sequenti").
Split the one shared commemorationOf into
commemorationOfDisplacedPredecessor (keeps the Simplex exclusion) and
commemorationOfDisplacedSuccessor (drops it).

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.
