Trinity Sunday wasn't modeled at all: getDayLabel had a purely
cosmetic "Trinity Sunday" label overlay for the Sunday after
Pentecost, but resolveTemporalId just fell back to post-pentecost-01
(ordinary-sunday category), so any Duplex+ saint assigned that date
(e.g. the Queenship of the BVM, fixed May 31) won outright, real
Trinity Sunday content never appearing anywhere.
Added a real temporal-feasts/trinity-sunday.yml record (Easter+56,
Duplex II. classis, live-verified). Per direct instruction,
unconditional: true (same shape as christ-the-king.yml) -- a
principal Sunday shouldn't lose a same-rank fixed-date collision, and
the one real collision case (Queenship of the BVM) isn't
independently verifiable against Monastic 1617 at all (that calendar
doesn't carry the Queenship feast -- May 31 there is St. Petronilla
instead).
Authored the full office and registered trinity-sunday in
ALWAYS_OVERRIDE_TEMPORAL_IDS -- the same generic mechanism already
built for the Pentecost-cluster fix, no new code needed: collect,
Benedictus/Magnificat antiphons, Matins hymn ("Summæ Deus cleméntiæ"),
Lauds/Vespers chapter (shared, Rom 11:33) and hymn (shared, "O lux
beáta Trínitas", already the pre-Urban VIII text), each hour's own
distinct responsory/versicle -- all live-verified 2026-05-31.
Fixed 3 pre-existing tests written around the old cosmetic-label
behavior, two of which had never-verified guesses baked in as if
correct: day-label.test.ts's "names the anchor day itself" test and
its "outranks an active octave" test (was asserting "Duplex I Class",
a guess -- the real live-verified rank is Duplex II);
transfer.test.ts's St. Felix I test.

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.)
