Author Easter Octave Wednesday-Saturday's shared Matins antiphons

All 4 weekdays share the exact same 2 antiphons verbatim ("Jesum qui
crucifíxus est quǽritis, allelúja..." / "Veníte et vidéte locum ubi
pósitus erat Dóminus, allelúja, allelúja."), live-verified against
Pofficium.pl (Monastic Tridentinum 1617, prayMatutinum) across
2026-04-08/09/10/11 — despite each day drawing on a different Gospel
reading in the nocturn-readings pool, the antiphon layer doesn't vary
by day.

Layered onto vu's own already-fixed per-weekday ferial psalm numbers
rather than the reference engine's own differently-sized (Rule of
Benedict summer-contracted) psalm set for these days, consistent with
this project's deliberate rejection of that contraction.

This closes "Easter's own octave" fully: calendar precedence
(2026-09-01), Sunday/Monday/Tuesday's shared proper psalmody, and now
Wednesday-Saturday's antiphons (both 2026-09-02).
