Complete the bulk Vulgate/Douay-Rheims scripture import from the real source
Found 137 chapters missing from src/data/scripture/ despite the recent
bulk import, scattered oddly across ~30 otherwise-covered books. Located
the original "Unbound Bible" source archives (douay_rheims.zip/latinv.zip)
the earlier import must have used but never preserved in-repo, and
re-parsed directly from them.

118 new chapters authored, plus the 3 hand-authored short books (Jude,
Obadiah, Philemon) replaced with source-derived text — small wording
differences from the hand-typed drafts confirm going back to source was
worth it. Store now at 1157 chapter files.

Deliberately left unauthored rather than risk bad content:
- Daniel 4-14 and Esther 11-16: this digitization's Latin side only has
  Daniel 1-3 and Esther 1-10 at all (English has the rest).
- 12 chapters where the Douay-Rheims side has a corrupted, misnumbered
  block (e.g. isa-25's tagged verse 1 actually carries verse 11's text)
  rather than simply missing content -- importing under the source's own
  wrong verse numbers would silently attach mismatched text to real
  citations, worse than leaving them missing.

Widened bulk-import.test.ts's invariant to tolerate up to 2 genuinely
isolated missing-English verses per chapter (extends the pre-existing
isa-33/sir-36 pointing-split-half-verse allowance to also cover true
source gaps, e.g. an in-file "Transfer interrupted!" download-corruption
artifact at matt-12:43), while still failing loudly on anything
resembling the corrupted-block pattern above.

vu

A static, offline-first PWA for praying the Divine Office — Matins, Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers, and Compline — in bilingual Latin/English, for any given date.

This isn't a reconstruction of any single historical breviary. It's a personal design that draws on several historical sources without reproducing any one of them exactly: hour structure chiefly from the Monastic Tridentinum (1617), precedence/rubrics from Divino Afflatu, and a calendar merged from both the Tridentine 1906 and Divino Afflatu calendars, with more generous handling of commemorations and octaves than any one historical rite used. See CLAUDE.md (gitignored, not shipped in this repo) or the project's own notes for the full rationale if you're extending it.

There's no backend and no database — everything is a pre-built static bundle, and the app is designed to keep working fully offline once it's been loaded once.

Development

Requires Node.js (developed against Node 20+).

npm install
npm run dev        # start the Vite dev server
npm run build       # type-check (tsc --noEmit) and produce a production build in dist/
npm run preview     # serve the production build locally
npm test            # run the test suite (vitest)

Run a single test file or a subset by name:

npx vitest run tests/hours/vespers.test.ts
npx vitest run -t "some test name"

Running in production

The app is entirely static once built, so "running it" just means serving dist/ — any static file host works, as long as it falls back to index.html for unknown paths (the app does its own client-side routing for URLs like /2026-08-09/prime).

Docker

A Dockerfile builds the static bundle with Node and serves it with Caddy:

docker build -t vu .
docker run -p 8080:80 vu

Or with Docker Compose (docker-compose.yml is included):

docker compose up -d --build

This serves the app on http://localhost:8080. Put a reverse proxy/TLS terminator in front of it for a real deployment; the container itself just listens on port 80 internally and has no configuration, secrets, or external dependencies.

Without Docker

Any static file server works — build the app, then serve dist/ with SPA-style fallback routing. For example, with Caddy directly:

npm run build
caddy file-server --root dist --listen :8080

(For a real deployment you'll want a fallback rule so unknown paths resolve to index.html — see the Caddyfile in this repo for the pattern.)
