Design (direct instruction): Marian Saturday is its own rank tier,
between simplex and vigil in vu's FeastClass scale -- beats a plain
Simplex saint (commemorated in return), loses cleanly with zero trace
to anything Vigil-or-higher. Deliberately not the full historical
Officium Sabbatorum B.M.V. ("no little office"): ferial psalmody is
kept everywhere, only the antiphons swap to Marian text; Matins and
Lauds each get a real proper Marian hymn; the Marian collect applies
whenever the day wins.
The calendar-side mechanism (calendar/index.ts's applyMarianSaturday)
and a collect/Benedictus antiphon already existed from an earlier
session -- authored what was still missing: matins-hymn-marian-
saturday.yml (Matins had nothing at all) and lauds-{capitulum,
responsory,hymn,versicle}-marian-saturday.yml.
Also found and fixed 3 real bugs from that earlier, unverified pass:
Lauds' own hymn ("O gloriósa Dómina") was sitting under the plain
ferial lauds-hymn-saturday id instead of its own marian-saturday id;
that id's capitulum/responsory/versicle siblings were live-verified
from a different, privileged Lenten Ember Saturday, not a genuine
per-annum ferial Saturday -- corrected to the real content ("Auróra
jam spargit polum" / Rom 13:12-13 / "Sana ánimam meam" / "Repléti
sumus mane misericórdia tua", live-verified against a clean September
Ember Saturday); and the Lauds psalmody override used the real
historical proper psalm set (92/99/62) instead of the ferial one,
rolled back per direct instruction to plain ferial psalms (50, 142,
the split Canticle of Moses) with only the antiphons swapped.

On a free Saturday (nothing privileged already claims it, no active
octave), the day's own identity is now "Our Lady's Saturday" rather
than an anonymous ordinary-feria -- mirrors privileged-feria-minor
exactly, per direct instruction: Semiduplex-or-higher still wins
outright (Marian Saturday doesn't apply at all); below that (Simplex,
and Vigil, both under semiduplex on the FeastClass scale) loses and is
commemorated instead. Layered additively after decideOccurrence, same
shape as applyOctaves -- never touches decideOccurrence's own rules.
Needed a real winner identity (not just the plain temporal feria id)
so day-label/antiphon/collect sourcing can recognize it -- added a
temporal-feasts record purely for that, and taught getDayLabel to
check it for any named temporal winner (a small, free improvement for
Christmas/Pentecost's own labels too, previously unhandled).
hours: build the duplex-majus+ Lauds psalmody override (per-feast)
lauds-psalmody no longer unconditionally uses the plain weekday
default: a duplex-majus-or-higher sanctoral winner, or Our Lady's
Saturday (unconditional, no rank threshold -- it isn't competing with
the weekday default the way a saint is), now substitutes its own
proper psalm groups/antiphons/canticle. Per-feast, not per-Common, per
direct instruction, even though most duplex-majus+ saints across the
year don't have one authored yet and fall back to the plain weekday
default until they do.
Content for the worked example (St. Lawrence's own day) surfaced a
real bug while sourcing it: st-lawrence-antiphon.yml had been read
from the Roman/secular rite's own [Ant 1], not Monastic 1617's actual
Benedictus antiphon for that day -- corrected from a fresh live query.
