Pauli, 30 June) on this exact reasoning. conversion-of-st-paul (25 January) was left off pending a witness: the FIUV Ordo's own single window has 25 January impeded by a Sunday. Now witnessed four times, two independent publishers, four civil years: the Latin Mass Society Ordo's 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 editions both read "Pr of the Apostles" on their own unimpeded 25 January (2024, 2025); extraordinaryform.org's 2024-2025Ordo.pdf and 2026-2027Ordo.pdf independently agree on their own unimpeded years (2025, 2027, spot-checked, not wired in as a fixture). Every source's 2026 edition agrees 25 January is impeded that year and produces no data point at all. No source disagreed with the textual reading. Surveyed every other Apostle/Evangelist-named slug in data/ef/sanctoral.sexp before concluding the list needed exactly this one addition: the Dedication of the Basilicas of Sts Peter & Paul (18 November) is confirmed NOT an RG 497 trigger (all three LMS editions read "Pr of the Dedication of a Church", not "Apostles" -- it is about the buildings, not the Apostles in person); the Vigil of Sts Peter & Paul (28 June) is confirmed "Common Pr", corroborating the pre-existing "no vigil ever reaches this branch" comment. Blast radius, measured exhaustively (1583-9999, new permanent sweep in test_rubrics_ef.ml): 7217 domain years have 25 January unimpeded and observed; all 7217 now read Apostles, zero exceptions.

RG 482 gives the resolution chain: the Mass's own proper preface, failing that the seasonal one, failing that Common. Read literally, RG 484-497 look like fourteen separate rules, but each numbered rubric's own propria/de-Tempore pair produces the SAME preface identity either way, so the whole chain collapses into one priority- ordered decision: title/mystery triggers (Holy Cross, Sacred Heart, Christ the King, Trinity, St Joseph, BVM, the Nativity octave, the Apostles, Epiphany), each independent of season, then six seasonal windows (Nativity, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Cross/Passiontide, Easter, Ascension, Holy Spirit, Trinity-for-ordinary-Sundays), then Common. The "one genuinely unproven piece" the design spec worried about -- per-feast proper prefaces extracted from the Missal's propers at scale -- turned out not to be a large-scale extraction problem at all: every one of the fourteen propers is a closed, small, subject/slug-keyed trigger (mirroring Precedence_ef.band's own RG 91 table), not thousands of individual saints' pages. The one genuine open question (RG 488, the Chrism Mass) is N/A: this engine resolves one Mass per civil day and has no separate Chrism-Mass dimension. Preface is a new kernel type (lib/kernel/preface.ml[i]), not an EF-specific one, the same placement as Colour/Subject/Mass_formulary: Liturgical_day.t is parameterised only over season/rank, so any field it carries generically must live in the kernel even though only EF constructs a value of it today. Wired exactly as creed/gloria were (Rite.t.preface, Calendar.ml, Rite_ef.context), but Preface.t option, not a bare bool: unlike creed/gloria, a preface is said only at a Mass, and Good Friday (1955-restored Holy Week) resolves an observed celebration but has no Mass at all -- None is the honest answer there, and also the neutral value an unimplemented rite returns. Two priority-order findings only the oracle settled, not derivable from the Latin text in isolation, both cross-checked against 358 individually classified entries in the FIUV Ordo's own praef column (test/fixtures/fiuv-ordo-2025-2026.sexp, already captured, wired up here as a new comparison axis): RG 484(b)'s own "except Masses with a proper of the divine mysteries or Persons" is narrower than every other window's implicit exception (an Apostle inside the Nativity octave is overridden to Nativity; outside it, keeps his own preface even inside another window); and RG 495's "et votivis" half is live for the one office this engine models without a votive-Mass dimension (the Saturday Office of the BVM), which also proved a vigil is not a "festum" for this purpose (the Assumption's own vigil takes Common, not BVM, correcting an initial reuse of Precedence_ef.marian_slugs that had no reason to make that distinction for its own, different rubric). A third, RG16(a)-shaped fix landed the same way: RG 494(b)'s own Trinity grant must read the day's TEMPORAL season, not the celebration that actually won it, or a Class1 feast with no preference of its own (All Saints) wrongly falls to Common on a Sunday it merely commemorates. colitur rubrics gains a sixth TAB-separated column. Domain-wide 1583-9999 exhaustive sweep confirms every Christmastide day resolves Nativity/Epiphany/Bvm, every Paschaltide day one of its own three windows or a season-independent title, every Lent day Lent or a title, and Passiontide legitimately produces Easter exactly once a year (the Vigil Mass) -- 8416 of the domain's 8417 years, the one short year being the domain's own upper boundary (the liturgical year opening in 9999 cannot construct dates in year 10000, a pre-existing edge this sweep re-confirms rather than a new one). day/readings verified byte-identical to the branch's own state before this phase (commit 9c96e0a) across a 455-year sample spanning the whole domain -- not literally to the v0.10.1 tag, which 22 earlier commits on this same branch (Phase 1/2, the bissextile shift, the Rogation colour fix) had already moved past before this phase began. 2026-08-22T15:56:42Z Lukasz Kasprzak lukas@labunix.xyz 2026-08-22T15:56:42Z urn:sha1:f4cc032d7e812d716ff6b5df8192f79a2560e8f0 Phase 2 of celebrant-rubrics-phase1: colitur rubrics gains a fifth column, whether the Gloria is said. Follows the Creed's own seam exactly -- Rite.t.gloria, Liturgical_day.t.gloria, wired through calendar.ml the same way. RG 431(a)/432(a) defer the Gloria to the Breviary's own Te Deum rule (nn. 237-238), so te_deum is implemented as its own named predicate, cited clause by clause, not collapsed into a colour heuristic. 431(c) (Holy Thursday, the Easter Vigil Mass) and 432(b)/(d) (violet; a Requiem) are independent overrides checked ahead of the Te Deum-derived answer. Every clause this engine has no dimension to model (votive Mass classes, the wider n.302 "Missa festiva" categories) is stated as N/A with its own reasoning, not silently dropped. Validated against the FIUV universal Ordo (Gloria and Te Deum) and all three LMS editions (Gloria). A first pass over-trusted a clean-looking 15-for-15 FIUV contradiction of 237(b)'s own Septuagesima exception and replaced it with a blanket "every Sunday" rule; the evidence was itself corrupted -- the FIUV extractor recognised only one of the source's two Te Deum negations ("non dicitur", not "sine"), so every "sine Te Deum" Sunday read wrongly true. Fixed in tools/extract_fiuv_ordo.ml, fixture re-extracted, and the literal 237(b) reading restored once the corrected data confirmed it. A second bug surfaced alongside it (Palm/ Passion Sunday wrongly reading true via Temporal_ef.named's own table membership, then Christ the King wrongly reading false from an over-broad fix) is closed with an explicit two-slug exclusion. Domain-wide 1583-9999: every violet or Rose day is gloria=false except the Easter Vigil (RG 431(c) lex specialis), every Requiem is gloria=false, both measured exhaustively, zero exceptions. Mutation- proved: disabling 431(c) reddens 8 tests including all four oracle comparisons; disabling 238(c)'s feria-I-classis exclusion reddens exactly the dedicated Ash Wednesday unit test, a genuine blind spot in both oracle layers, reported rather than hidden. Two open, cited findings, neither fixed here (out of this task's "follow creed's exact seam" scope): a privileged Lenten/Passiontide feria carrying one commemoration reads Gloria=true in the LMS Ordo but Te-Deum=true/Gloria=false in FIUV -- the two oracles disagree with each other, not merely with colitur (data/ef/expected-divergences-lms.sexp L5, expected-divergences-fiuv.sexp F3); and a pre-existing, uncited Colour.Violet bug on Rogation Monday/Tuesday in Temporal_ef.temporal, surfaced by this comparison but root-caused as a separate defect (L6). day/readings verified byte-identical against a build from the branch tip before this task (v0.10.1's own tag predates an already-landed bissextile fix that legitimately changed both, so it is not the right baseline). 671 tests green (dune test); 678 with the exhaustive sweep (COLITUR_EXHAUSTIVE_SWEEP=1 dune test --force, ~104s). 2026-08-22T11:38:27Z Lukasz Kasprzak lukas@labunix.xyz 2026-08-22T11:38:27Z urn:sha1:41263d60432fadd2aef3f04de66b60561f89cbec colitur said the Creed IS said on All Souls' Day and every other Requiem-shaped day: RG 475(b)'s "in festis I classis" branch fired on rank alone, with nothing checking RG 476(f), "Non dicitur symbolum ... f) in Missis defunctorum". Allow-listed as L1 in expected-divergences-lms.sexp on the argument that [creed] has no notion of a Requiem Mass in its inputs and could not express the rule without a signature change. That argument does not hold. Colour.Black is used by exactly two celebrations in the whole engine, verified by grepping every occurrence in lib/ and data/: commemoration-of-all-souls (data/ef/sanctoral.sexp) and Good Friday (temporal_ef.ml, already false via the earlier RG 23(b) feria exclusion and has no Mass at all in the 1955-restored Holy Week). So on every day this engine can construct, colour = Black if and only if the Mass is a Requiem -- a citable implication (RG 117 assigns black to Masses of the dead) on this data, not a heuristic. Rite_ef.Rubrics_ef.creed now reads observed.colour as RG 476(f)'s own guard, positioned ahead of 475(b)'s rank branch. A new test, test_colour_black_population_is_exactly_two, sweeps both the shipped data and Temporal_ef's own code across a century and fails loudly the day a third Colour.Black celebration is ever introduced, so the proxy cannot silently rot. L1 is closed in expected-divergences-lms.sexp, citation preserved. Blast radius, measured (full 1583-9999 sweep, grouped by observed slug): 8 416 days change from true to false, every one commemoration-of-all-souls (missing from exactly 1 of the 8 417 domain years, a boundary-year transfer effect at 1583/9999). A further 8 416 Colour.Black days are Good Friday, unaffected (already false before this fix). colitur day/readings stay byte-identical to v0.10.1 (checked directly against a v0.10.1 worktree build, 9 domain-spanning years); colitur rubrics changes on exactly the 8 416 days above. colitur emit --format sexp's pretty-printed line count for 2027 moved 9010 -> 9011 as a side effect: Sexplib.Sexp.to_string_hum wraps by column width, and All Souls' Day 2027's record grew one wrapped line because "false" is one character longer than "true". Cosmetic only -- no field's data changed -- and pinned in test/cli.t with the measurement recorded. 2026-08-22T10:02:01Z Lukasz Kasprzak lukas@labunix.xyz 2026-08-22T10:01:48Z urn:sha1:d4682c13161b62bc83eaae37790493f670d39c01 Whether the Creed is said at Mass. New Rubrics_ef.creed, reached through a new Rite.t.creed field and a new Liturgical_day.t.creed bool (false, not an option, for a rite that has not implemented the rule); colitur rubrics gains a fourth TAB-separated column. 475(a) reads the TEMPORAL cycle's own weekday, not the observed day: a Sunday impeded by a Feast of the Lord (RG 16a) still says the Creed. 475(d)'s three octaves (Nativity, Easter, Pentecost) are pure date/ Easter-offset windows, checked first, since a saint's feast winning the day inside one of them still says the Creed ("etiam in festis occurrentibus") -- St Stephen, 26 December, is the live witness. RG 23 classifies Ash Wednesday and every feria of Holy Week (including the Sacred Triduum) as feriae, not festa, however high their rank, so 475(b)/(c)'s "in festis" never reaches them; this single check subsumes 476(a)'s own naming of the Chrism/Lord's-Supper Mass and the Easter Vigil. RG 28-34 vigils are a third liturgical-day category, also excluded from "in festis" regardless of rank -- reuses the already- exported Precedence_ef.is_vigil rather than a new list. 475(e)'s Apostle/Evangelist natalicia list (creed_apostle_slugs) was derived by grepping data/ef/sanctoral.sexp directly and checking each candidate's own date against whether it is that saint's dies natalis -- not copied from any list supplied with the task. The Conversion of St Paul and the 30 June Commemoration of St Paul are excluded (neither is a natalicium); the Chair of St Peter and St Barnabas are included only because the clause names them explicitly, which is exactly why it has to: neither is a natalicium either. 475(c)'s BVM half reuses Precedence_ef.marian_slugs (newly exported) rather than the subject field alone: checked against the shipped data, almost every Marian sanctoral entry ships subject=Saint, not Bvm. man/colitur.1's rubrics section is updated to match the new column; test/cli.t repinned via dune promote for the same reason. Verified day/readings output byte-identical to v0.10.1 across the whole 1583-9999 domain (both binaries' concatenated day+readings output, 6,148,492 lines each, zero diff). Domain-wide: 882,996 days say the Creed, 2,191,250 do not; every one of the domain's 439,178 Sundays says it, zero exceptions.
