Claimed Semiduplex wins outright over the Advent feria with the feria
commemorated in return -- true when written, but no longer true after
the later octave-wins-class rework. Dec 11 falls inside the Immaculate
Conception octave, whose elevated wins:duplex threshold now outranks a
plain Semiduplex, so Damasus is actually demoted to a commemoration
and the Advent feria keeps the day. No behavior change, found and
confirmed live while authoring St. Juan Diego's neighboring entry.

Sourced from the reference engine's national-calendar file. Own proper
collect, Ant 1, and Matins Nocturn 2 narrative reading (Juan Diego's
apparition account), same scope as the Our Lady of Lourdes feast --
Common of the BVM (C11) carries the rest. No canonization-deflation
question here (an apparition title, cultus confirmed 1754/1910). At
Duplex she ties the Immaculate Conception octave's threshold on a
non-closing day, which favors the occurring saint, so she wins Dec 12
outright.

She was previously excluded on a mistaken "post-1617, out of scope"
reading that conflated vu's hour-structure track (Monastic 1617) with
its calendar/saints track (Tridentine 1906 + Divino Afflatu 1954,
which has included her since her 1671 canonization). Her source rank
of Duplex is deliberately deflated to semiduplex, correcting for the
rank creep that made "new canonization" and "Duplex" a near-automatic
pairing from the Baroque period on. She wins Aug 30 outright over Ss.
Felix and Adauctus, who keep their existing commemoration.

Both feasts' source keeps the ancient single-nocturn, 3-lesson Matins
form (unlike every other Sunday in the surrounding sweep), which was
initially mistaken for "no content exists" and left unauthored. Their
Lectio1-3 actually carry a real Gospel incipit plus a full Pope St.
Gregory the Great homily each (Homily 21 on Mark 16:1-7 for Easter,
Homily 30 on John 14:23-31 for Pentecost) — a nocturn-count difference,
not a content gap. Authored as nocturn:1 content, same as this app's
existing Ember-day single-nocturn files; this app's own threeNocturns
rule still renders 3 nocturns for these Sundays regardless.

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
commemoration antiphon.

Follow-up to the earlier bulk pass. Sourced the remaining category
templates: BVM feasts (13, reused the already-verified BVM suffrage
versicle plus each feast's own antiphon), angels (4, versicle inferred
from a saint file's own "structural category" note), Confessor-Doctor/
-Pope (7, resolved to C4a/C5a/C4b -- each inheriting its base category's
Ant2/Versum2 unchanged, no new content needed), several confessors and
apostles-plural (2, reusing already-sourced category versicles), and 5
fully-proper feasts (All Saints x2, Finding of the Holy Cross, Most
Precious Blood, Transfiguration, Our Lady of Ransom) given their own
real Ant2/Versum2 straight from their Sancti files.
213 of ~218 real saints now covered. Only the 5 Vigils remain open --
no dedicated Commune template exists for that category in the reference
engine, and FeastClass 'vigil' rarely reaches the commemoration code
path anyway.

Found that 217 of 220 saints with an authored collect had no
${propers}-commemoration.yml bundle, so sanctoralCommemorationPart was
silently falling back to a bare collect with no antiphon whenever that
saint was merely commemorated rather than winning outright (user-reported
for St. Raymond Nonnatus and the Decollation of St. John the Baptist).
Bulk-fixed: reused each saint's own proper antiphon where authored, else
the standard de-Communi [Ant 2]/[Versum 2] for that saint's own Common
category. Confirmed via three already live-verified commemorations
(Ss. Felix and Adauctus, St. Clare, St. Sabina) that [Ant 2]/[Versum 2]
are the real tags used for a mere commemoration, not [Ant 1]/[Nocturn 2
Versum] as first assumed -- corrected St. Raymond Nonnatus's file
accordingly. 182 of ~218 real saints now covered; entries not
independently live-verified are marked draft. Remaining ~36 (BVM feasts,
angels, confessor-doctors/popes, vigils) tracked in TODO.md.
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

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

antiphons, the Benedictus antiphon, and Matins' Gospel (Matt 1:18-21) +
St. Jerome homily, wired via a new `vigil-of-christmas` temporal id scoped

advent-4's own remaining Magnificat-antiphon gap turned out to be a
mechanism problem, not missing content: Dec 17-23 always carries one of
the seven "O Antiphons" at Vespers, keyed to the calendar date itself,
not to whichever Advent week (advent-3 or advent-4, varies by year)
happens to govern that date -- a single per-week file was structurally
the wrong shape.
Added vespers-o-antiphons.yml (MM-DD keyed) and a new lookup tier in
getMagnificatAntiphon, checked unconditionally ahead of both the
per-week temporal file and a real sanctoral winner's own antiphon --
direct instruction: the O Antiphon wins this one text slot on these
seven dates regardless of who otherwise wins the day (e.g. St. Thomas,
Dec 21, still keeps every other part of his own office). Two of the
seven (O Clavis David/O Oriens, Dec 20-21) couldn't be live-verified --
every reference-engine track routes those two dates through St.
Thomas's Vigil/feast instead, which this app's own vigil-of-st-thomas.yml
already documents diverging from -- so they're marked draft rather than
verified.

Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Tridentine 1906/1910 and
Divino Afflatu 1954, Sancti/08-29.txt) — the feast's own 5-antiphon
set ([Ant Vespera], reused verbatim at Lauds as [Ant Laudes]), now
wired through both the newly rank-agnostic Lauds/Vespers proper tier
and the new minor-hour derivation mechanism. Vespers gets only the
first four (mapped onto vu's Monastic-1617-structured four-psalm
Vespers, matching common-of-a-martyr.yml's own 109/111/112/115
baseline) — the reference's own fifth antiphon is a secular five-
psalm-Vespers detail that doesn't apply here, and is used only at

nativity-of-st-john-the-baptist.yml's `common` field (common-of-an-apostle)
was the same mistaken placeholder as the Beheading's, but this feast
needed a different fix: the reference engine assigns it no Commune at
all -- every [Rule] line in Sancti/06-24.txt and SanctiM/06-24.txt points
to proper text, never a Commune category -- so there's no better-fitting
id to swap in either.
Authored the real proper content that was still falling through to the
apostle Common, live-verified against the local Divinum Officium CGI
instance (Monastic Tridentinum 1617):
- Matins invitatory antiphon ("Regem Præcursóris Dóminum")
- Matins hymn ("Antra desérti téneris," with the Monastic doxology
substitution already used by this feast's own Lauds/Vespers hymns)
- Full Matins Nocturn 1-3 psalmody + nocturn versicles (Nocturn 1/2 reuse
St. Lawrence's own shared psalm-number pool per "Psalmi Dominica";
Nocturn 3 reuses St. Lawrence's own canticle scripture files verbatim,
since the citations are identical)
- Vespers psalmody (only 4 psalm slots at this Monastic rank, not 5 as a
naive reading of the raw Ant Vespera list would suggest)
- Nocturn 2/3 responsories on the existing nocturn-readings file
`common: common-of-an-apostle` is left in place as a fully inert
placeholder (a non-optional field with no better id available) with an
updated comment explaining why.

leaked into the Aug 29 Matins invitatory and the Lauds/Vespers office
bundle. Corrected to common-of-a-martyr, matching the file's own already-
correct `minorHoursCommon` field.
Also corrected a stale comment in the feast's own nocturn-readings file
claiming neither Nocturn 2 nor 3 has a proper responsory: Nocturn 2's own
closing responsory is genuine proper text (not a Commune reference like
Nocturn 3's), and is now authored.

compline-preces.yml was already the secular Tridentine 1906/1910 text

Compline's Preces to nothing on a Double-or-higher, unlike Vespers/Lauds
which fall back to a short form. Per explicit request, this is now a
deliberate vu-specific deviation from both tracks: on a Double, Compline
substitutes the same short Kyrie/Pater-Noster litany Vespers already
falls back to on Sundays/feasts, instead of showing nothing.

St. Mark's and St. Luke's own reference-engine rule files say "ex C1a",

Ss. Perpetua and Felicity's own file says "vide C7b"; C7b returns the

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,

Ascension, Corpus Christi, and Sacred Heart octave content lives in the

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)

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

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

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

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).

Live-verified byte-identical against Ss. John of God and Camillus de
Lellis (Several Confessors -> Common-of-a-Confessor) and St. Luke
(Evangelist -> Common-of-an-Apostle) -- genuine full redirects, matching
the reference engine's own votive-index adjacency (C1/C1a, C5/C5c).

Live-verified against St. Anne (2026-07-26): Nocturns 1/2 and Nocturn
3's canticles/versicle match Common-of-a-Virgin-Martyr exactly, but the
Nocturn 3 antiphon itself differs (pearl-of-great-price vs. bridegroom
imagery), so it gets its own file rather than an alias.

Live-verified byte-identical psalms, antiphons, and versicles against
St. Maurus/St. Gall (Abbot), St. Francis of Assisi/St. Jerome
(Confessor-not-Bishop), and the Octave of Ss. Peter and Paul
(Apostles-plural) — genuine full redirects, not new content. Swaps the
matins.test.ts ferial-fallback proof off St. Anthony Abbot (no longer
unauthored) onto St. Monica (Widow, still unauthored).

Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617) via
clean representative saints with no proper content of their own:
St. Justina (Virgin-Martyr), Our Lady of the Snows (BVM), and the
Dedication of the Lateran Basilica.

Douay-Rheims's "physicians" is a literal rendering of the Vulgate's
"medici," itself a mistranslation of Hebrew Rephaim (the shades of
Sheol). Replace with "shades" for clarity, matching modern
translations (RSV/NRSV/NABRE).

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).

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
source); Vespers/Matins use the Monastic "Christe Redemptor omnium",
a genuinely separate hymn from the secular "Jesu, Redemptor omnium",
with a fresh draft English translation since none exists in the
reference engine for that variant.

Historically a floating Sunday (Jan 2-5, fixed to Jan 2 when no Sunday
falls there); per direct instruction this is instead fixed to Jan 2
every year for simplicity. Adds the feast's collect, Magnificat/
Benedictus antiphons, full Lauds psalmody, capitulum, the three-part
"Jesu dulcis memoria" hymn cycle (Vespers/Matins/Lauds), the Invitatory
antiphon, versicles, and two Matins nocturn readings (both St. Bernard
of Clairvaux), sourced from Tempora/Nat2-0.txt. Reuses the `fixed-date`
anchor kind added in the prior commit.

Jan 1 previously fell through to generic Christmastide-feria content with
no identity of its own, despite being Christmas's own Octave Day. Adds a
`fixed-date` anchor kind to calendar/movable-feasts.ts's MovableAnchor
(the existing easter/nth-sunday kinds can't express "always Jan 1"),
plus the feast's collect, Magnificat/Benedictus antiphons, full Lauds
psalmody, capitulum, versicle, and two Matins nocturn readings (Leo the
Great, Ambrose), sourced from Sancti/01-01.txt.

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.

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).
