Add August sanctoral content: 10 saints/feasts
Continues the full-year sanctoral import: Ss. Tiburtius and Susanna, Ss.
Hippolytus and Cassian, the Vigil of the Assumption, St. Joachim (Duplex
II Classis, own full proper content), St. Hyacinth, St. John Eudes, St.
Jane Frances de Chantal, the Immaculate Heart of the BVM (Duplex II
Classis, instituted 1942, full proper content), St. Joseph Calasanctius,
and St. Raymond Nonnatus.

Several of the new fixed dates (Aug 16, 17, 21, 22) fall within or
adjacent to St. Lawrence's and the Assumption's overlapping octave
windows and now win outright there under the ordinary-feria/ordinary-
sunday precedence rules, displacing what several existing tests
expected to be bare octave commemorations or ferial fallbacks. Updated:

- august-sanctoral.test.ts: Aug 22 now correctly shows the Immaculate
  Heart of Mary as the winner, with the Assumption's octave still
  commemorated alongside her.
- day-label.test.ts: the two octave-priority tests pinned to Aug 17
  (now St. Hyacinth's own day) moved their "day 8 alone" case to All
  Saints' own octave (Nov 8, still open); the two-octaves-overlap
  comparison can no longer be demonstrated via any real date in this
  app since every day where St. Lawrence's and the Assumption's octaves
  genuinely overlap is now real sanctoral content -- the underlying
  `pickWinningOctave` mechanism itself stays covered by
  tests/calendar/octaves.test.ts's own synthetic-data unit test.
- vespers.test.ts: the Thursday Ps 138 split test moved off Aug 20,
  whose own first Vespers is now claimed by St. Jane Frances de
  Chantal's fixed day (Aug 21).

Hyacínthus Polónus, nobílibus et christiánis paréntibus, in Camiénsi
villa episcopátus Vratislaviénsis natus est. A puerítia litteris
instructus, post datam jurisprudéntiæ et sacris litteris operam, inter
canonicos Cracovienses adscitus, insígni morum pietáte et summa
eruditióne ceteros antecelluit. Romæ in Prædicatórum ordinem ab ipso
institutore sancto Dominico adscriptus, perféctam vivéndi ratiónem,
quam ab ipso didicerat, usque ad finem vitæ sanctíssime retinuit.
Virginitátem perpetuo coluit; modestiam, patiéntiam, humilitátem,
abstinéntiam ceterasque virtútes, ut certum reliogiosæ vitæ
patrimónium, adamávit.
Caritáte in Deum fervens, integras sæpe noctes fundéndis précibus
castigandóque córpori insúmens, nullum eidem levaméntum, nisi lapidi
innixus sive humi cubans, adhibebat. Remissus in pátriam, Frisaci
primum in itinere amplíssimum sui ordinis monastérium, mox Cracoviæ
álterum eréxit. Inde per alias Poloniæ regni provincias aliis quatuor
exædificatis, incredibile dictu est quantum verbi Dei prædicatióne et
vitæ innocéntia apud omnes profécerit. Nullum diem prætermisit, quo
non præclára aliqua fidei, pietátis atque innocéntiæ arguménta
præstiterit.
Sanctíssime viri studium erga proximórum salútem maximis Deus
miraculis illustrávit. Inter quæ illud insigne, quod Vándalum fluvium
prope Visogradum aquis redundántem, nullo navigio usus, trajecit,
sociis quoque expanso super undas pallio traductis. Admirábili vitæ
genere ad quadragínta prope annos post professiónem perducto, mortis
die suis frátribus prænuntiáto, ipso assumptæ Vírginis festo, Horis
canonicis persolutis, sacramentis ecclesiásticis summa cum
veneratióne perceptis, iis verbis: In manus tuas, Dómine; spíritum
Deo réddidit, anno salútis millesimo ducentésimo quinquagesimo
septimo. Quem miraculis, étiam post óbitum, illustrem, Clemens Papa
octavus in Sanctórum númerum rétulit.

Hyacinth was a Pole, and was born of the noble and Christian family in
the town of Camien, in the diocese of Wratislaw. He was trained up in
learning from his youth, and after studying law and theology, became
a Canon of Crakow, where he was eminent above his fellows by the
singular godliness of his life and the depth of his learning. Being
at Rome, he was received into the Order of Friars Preachers by the
Founder, St. Dominic, himself, and kept in holiness to the end of his
life the rule of perfect living which he had learnt from him. He
remained always a virgin, and loved modesty, long-suffering,
lowliness, self-restraint, and all other good graces as his heritage
in the life of a Friar.
In the heat of his love for God, he sometimes passed whole nights in
pouring forth prayers and chastising his body, to which he never gave
rest but in leaning against a stone or lying upon the ground. He was
sent back to his own country, and, on the way, founded a very large
house of his Order at Friesach and soon afterwards another at
Crakow. In other provinces of the kingdom of Poland he founded four
others, and it passeth belief what success he had with all kinds of
men, by his preaching of the Word of God, and the innocency of his
life. Not a day passed wherein he did not display some bright gift of
faith, godliness, or innocency.
The zeal of this most holy man for the salvation of his neighbors was
that which God marked by His greatest miracles. Among these is
famous the time when coming to the River Vistula near Wisgrade, and
finding it in flood, he crossed it without a boat, drawing over also
his three companions standing upon the waves upon his outspread
mantle. He led a wonderful life for nearly forty years after his
profession, and then foretold to his brethren the day of his death.
Upon the very day of the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin, he
finished the recitation of the Office of the Church, received the
Sacraments with the utmost reverence, and then with the words, Into
thy hands, O Lord, gave up his soul to God in the year of salvation
1257. He was illustrious for miracles even after his death, and Pope
Clement VIII. numbered him among the saints.
