# Verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617), Lauds
# live query, the Immaculate Conception's own day (2026-12-08) -- the
# Benedictus antiphon. Same formula as the Nativity of the BVM's own
# (Sept 8), adapted for the Conception instead of the Birth, confirmed
# independently rather than assumed. Her Lauds psalmody override (see
# hours/lauds-psalmody-overrides.ts, TODO.md) is still unauthored --
# this is only the Benedictus antiphon, a separate lookup.
