Several psalm files carried leftover inline markers like (6a), (17a),
(32) from the source text (e.g. Ps 67:2-19). vu doesn't number verses
inline anywhere else, so these were artifacts, not content.

Passion week's ferias (Mon-Sat before Palm Sunday) fell through to
passiontide's bare ordinary-feria default, letting any real feast win
outright regardless of rank. Live-verified against the reference engine:
swept every date that can land in this window across a century of Easter
dates and found zero sub-Duplex winners -- every real winner is Duplex+.
This was letting vu's own low-ranked calendar saints (e.g. Ss. Tiburtius/
Valerian/Maximus, St. Anicetus) trivially win there and wrongly restore
the responsory's closing Gloria on what should stay a penitential day.

The Monastic-rite versicle "V. Dómine, lábia mea apéries. R. Et os
meum annuntiábit laudem tuam" was entirely absent from Matins' opening
block — only the shared "Deus in adjutórium" versicle was modeled.
Authored per the reference engine's "iij" rubric (recited three times,
after Deus in adjutórium, before Psalm 3), with the English rendered
as imperative ("O Lord, open Thou my lips") rather than future

Replaced the multi-day cascading queue with the actual intended design:
only candidates at or above duplex-majus are worth carrying out of the
Palm-Sunday-through-Low-Sunday span at all - below that, a candidate
simply lapses for the year. Of those that clear the floor, the Nth day
after Low Sunday celebrates the Nth one (native-date order), winning
outright with no rank fight, demoting whatever's natively there to a
commemoration - one per day, positional, not a free-day search.
Caught a real bug while re-verifying: the ordinary single-hop transfer
check was independently leaking Low Sunday's own signal into the next
day, letting a below-floor candidate bypass the new gate. Fixed by
excluding the whole span from that path.
Inventoried the only duplex-majus+ candidates that can ever fall in the
reachable window (St. Benedict, St. Gabriel the Archangel, the
Annunciation, St. Mark, Ss. Philip & James), then bumped St. Patrick's
own rank to duplex-majus by direct instruction, adding him as the 6th.

The Easter octave cascade built last commit reused the existing
"duplex-majus+ still gets a bare commemoration" branch unchanged,
trusting its own citation (St. Mark within the Easter Octave). That
citation was a misreading. Live-verified: the Annunciation (Duplex I.
classis) transfers with zero commemoration on Holy Thursday itself, and
Chair of St. Peter at Antioch does the same on Ash Wednesday - the
exception was wrong everywhere this category is used, not just Holy
Week. privileged-feria-major now matches privileged-sunday exactly:
unconditional transfer, no exceptions, any rank.

Closes the tabled "Easter's own octave" mechanism gap. resolveDay only
ever checked yesterday/tomorrow for an inbound transfer - a single hop -
so anything impeded in Holy Week just vanished rather than reappearing
after the Octave. Live-verified the real behavior first (2033 proof
year): a candidate skips the whole privileged span and keeps walking
forward, FIFO by native date, until it lands; a transferred-in candidate
never gets the "still gets a nod" commemoration a native occurrence of
the same rank would along the way (confirmed with the Annunciation, zero
commemoration anywhere in the span). Also fixed Low Sunday itself, which
needed the same privileged-sunday treatment as Easter Day.
Built resolveForwardTransferLanding: a bounded queue simulation that
reuses applyIncomingTransfer unchanged per hop - its existing
privileged-feria-major no-op was already the right single-hop refusal,
it just needed a real cascade around it instead of a dead end.

Following the Ascensiontide fix, swept every remaining unverified Sunday/
feria precedence tier against the live reference engine:
- commemorations.ts's privileged-sunday rule was itself wrong: a
duplex-majus+ candidate was given a bare commemoration instead of
transferring, never actually verified. Live-checked the Immaculate
Conception (transfers off Advent II) and the Annunciation (transfers
off Palm/Easter Sunday) - confirmed correct by direct instruction.
privileged-sunday now transfers every rank unconditionally.
- eastertide's own Sunday tier was backwards (privileged-sunday instead
of ordinary-sunday) for the ordinary Sundays after Easter - live-
verified twice (Finding of the Holy Cross, St. Mark both win outright).
Easter Day itself still needs the stronger tier, now special-cased
directly since Sundays never consult the offset table.
Six existing tests updated to reflect real, live-verified behavior - each
had the old wrong "commemorated in place" assumption baked into its
expected value. Remaining unverified entries (Vigil of Pentecost/
Christmas, Corpus Christi/Sacred Heart) documented as such rather than
silently assumed correct.

The Sunday within the Octave of Ascension was letting a Duplex saint win
outright (ascensiontide's Sunday was miscategorized ordinary-sunday
instead of privileged-sunday, the only "great octave" season not already

a seasonal overlay) via a new per-temporalId override layer.

Records the sourcing detail for the one-antiphon-per-psalm change in

Matins' Nocturn 3 antiphon: hardcoded to "Allelúja" year-round but
confirmed live against Monastic Tridentinum 1617 to need its own
proper antiphon on each of the 9 Sundays from Septuagesima through
Palm Sunday — collected but not yet authored.
Every cross-psalm pair previously shared one antiphon under just the
first psalm, which read inconsistently once psalter-distribution.yml's
reslice left some pairs intact and split others. Each pair is now two
single-psalm groups: the psalm whose own words the shared antiphon
actually quoted keeps it, and its former partner gets a real antiphon
borrowed from elsewhere in the reference corpus where one exists, else
one composed fresh from its own opening verse.

A plain feria within an ordinary week was pooling that week's Sunday's own

getDayLabel now surfaces the transfer signal added in the previous
commit: a transferred-in winner gets "(Rank, transferred)" instead of
just "(Rank)"; a transferred-in commemoration gets "(transferred)"
appended to its bare name; and the date a saint transferred away from
gets a trailing "St. X (transferred away)" note so a reader isn't left
wondering why an expected saint is missing that day. Deliberately worded
differently on the two sides (plain "transferred" reads as "arrived via
transfer" next to a rank parenthetical; "transferred away" spells out the
direction on the origin date, where there's no rank alongside it to
anchor that reading) and deliberately omits a landing date on the away
note, per direct instruction, since a real landing can chain further than
the single adjacent day resolveDay actually checks (an unmodeled case,
e.g. a transfer running into Holy Week).

Adds transferredFrom to both DayWinner's sanctoral variant and
Commemoration's sanctoral variant, set in calendar/index.ts's
applyIncomingTransfer whenever a transferred-in candidate actually lands
(wins outright) or ends up merely commemorated (lost a collision, or fell
below the landing day's own threshold) — previously this signal was
discarded after resolveDay used it once to decide the winner, so nothing
downstream could tell a transferred feast apart from a native one.
Also adds transferredAway to LiturgicalDay, set from a date's own native
occurrence when its candidate couldn't be kept there at all, so a UI can
note "this office moved elsewhere" without asserting a specific landing
date (which a later, unmodeled multi-hop chain — e.g. into Holy Week —
could get wrong).

Corrected an earlier "no source exists" claim by live-querying real
commemorated instances of the Vigils of St. Lawrence and the Assumption
across six different weekdays. Their source files' own [Rule] block
("Versum Feria") turns out to be a real, sourced mechanism, not an
absence: a mere commemoration doesn't reuse the vigil's own antiphon at
all -- it borrows the plain ferial day's antiphon/versicle instead, and
that antiphon quotes the Benedictus canticle in weekday sequence (same
shape vespers-magnificat-antiphons.yml already uses for the Magnificat).
The versicle is a single fixed text. Sunday has no entry: a Vigil
transfers off an ordinary Sunday rather than ever reaching a
commemoration there, confirmed live as well as already true in this
app's own precedence rules.
sanctoralCommemorationPart now takes weekday and resolves this
dynamically for common-of-a-vigil saints, rather than needing a static
per-saint file. All 218 saints with an authored collect now have a real

apostles-plural (2, reusing already-sourced category versicles), and 5

New tests/propers/commemoration-sweep.test.ts (182 cases) asserts every
bundle has a real antiphon+versicle+collect, never bare/missing.

Same bare-collect-only gap as Ss. Felix and Adauctus: both saints were
falling back to a plain collect with no antiphon when merely commemorated
(today's and yesterday's Vespers respectively). Raymond has no proper
antiphon of his own, so uses the standard Common-of-a-Confessor-Not-Bishop
text; the Decollation reuses his own already-authored proper Lauds
antiphon, paired with the generic Common-of-a-Martyr versicle. Both
live/reference-verified.

Their commemoration was falling back to a bare collect (only
ss-felix-and-adauctus-collect.yml existed, no combined Ant+V/R bundle),
so it rendered with no antiphon at Lauds when they're commemorated on a
Sunday (today, 2026-08-30). Live-verified against that exact date.

When Advent 4's own Sunday lands on Dec 24, the Vigil of Christmas's
identity (rank, collect, Lauds antiphons, Matins Gospel nocturn) now
governs the day, matching the reference engine's own rule that a
privileged Sunday never displaces it. Unlike the reference engine's own
"no commemoratio" for this exact collision, Advent 4 is deliberately
still commemorated — the Sundays of Advent have real standing of their
own. Matins' three-nocturn Sunday psalmody is untouched either way,
since it's driven by weekday, not by which id wins.

Non-Sunday Dec 24 previously just inherited Advent 4's ferial collect and
antiphons with nothing of its own. Import the Vigil's real proper content
from the reference engine (Duplex I classis): its own collect, all 5 Lauds
antiphons, the Benedictus antiphon, and Matins' Gospel (Matt 1:18-21) +
St. Jerome homily, wired via a new `vigil-of-christmas` temporal id scoped
to non-Sunday Dec 24 only. Advent IV landing on Dec 24 itself is untouched,
left as its own separate design question.
