The Missal's own universal calendarium ranks both "III classis" outright, with no commemoration rubric: "S. Ubaldi Ep. et Conf., III classis" (16 May) and "S. Didaci Conf., III classis" (13 November), corroborated in the second scan and in a published 1962 Ordo. Universal by construction, not by assumption: the calendarium carries no "pro aliquibus locis" marker in its 573 lines while the wider Missal carries 79 of them elsewhere. Each saint also has his own Mass entry in the Proprium, which a bare commemoration never has -- a commemoration carries an oration only. Found by auditing ALL 290 fixed-date entries against that calendarium, day by day, anchored on the Roman calends column because the arabic day column is OCR-wrecked and the dominical-letter column vanishes in some months. These two were the only status defects in the whole file. The 15 days the automated pass could not cover were read by hand and all agree. Neither needed a proper authored: each takes its Mass from a Common with only its own Oratio proper, per its own rubric at its own date. ubaldus shares patrick's Common exactly. didacus needed one newly transcribed -- common-of-a-confessor-not-a-bishop-2, the "Altera Missa" Iustus, 1 Cor 4:9-14 and Luke 12:32-34, read independently in both scans, which agree, so the page-image third reading this file's method requires on disagreement was not triggered. Blast radius, full 1583-9999 sweep, every day classified: 13 036. That is 5 564 ubaldus observed, 7 196 didacus observed, and 276 where the Ascension Vigil still wins on 16 May but its single RG 111(c) slot passes from rogation-wednesday to ubaldus -- correct and already pinned, since the Rogation days are the MINOR Litanies and so an ordinary commemoration, which RG 113's table order ranks below a III-class feast. Cited as C38 (70 rows) and M30 (3); C8, C17 and M18 shrink accordingly, each with the reason recorded rather than the count silently adjusted. 2026-08-18T09:36:33Z Lukasz Kasprzak lukas@labunix.xyz 2026-08-18T09:36:33Z urn:sha1:0281a846ac7c22d22990a6664a37205930a94b7d RG 128, transcribed in the rules register since 2026-08-11, gives violet to "vigils of II and III class outside Paschaltide". The Vigil of the Assumption (14 August, II class) carried White and the Vigil of St Lawrence (9 August, III class) carried Red. Both are outside Paschaltide, so both are violet. The Ascension's vigil is untouched: it is the one II-class vigil inside Paschaltide and was already correctly white. The rule had been sitting in the register, disagreeing with the shipped data, since before the data was bootstrapped. It was invisible because colitur, lectio and missalemeum all carried the same two wrong colours -- colitur was bootstrapped from lectio, lectio's ini is generated from missalemeum, and missalemeum uses Divinum Officium's data files. Three sources agreeing is one source counted three times, and the differential and the oracle both went green on the shared error. It surfaced only against witnesses outside that tree: a published 1962 Ordo flagged the Assumption's, and O'Connell, The Celebration of Mass 4th ed. (1964), section 4(c) and footnote 169, gave the general rule and with it St Lawrence's, which the Ordo omits entirely. Two golden pins added, in years where each vigil is actually observed rather than impeded. The divergence this creates against every DO-lineage source is cited in both allow-lists: C37 (lectio, 77 rows -- 92 possible minus 15 where the vigil falls on a Sunday) and M29 (missalemeum, 3 rows in 2026-2027 and 2 in each of 2035 and 2038). Both gated on the exact slugs or dates and on colour alone, so any other divergence on those days would still surface. Also recorded, no code change: rose on Gaudete and Laetare stays. RG 131 is permissive ("adhiberi possunt") and the Ordo prints violet, so the colour field carries a permission rather than a requirement on those two Sundays a year -- a decided position now, not an unexamined one. 2026-08-18T08:21:39Z Lukasz Kasprzak lukas@labunix.xyz 2026-08-18T08:21:39Z urn:sha1:e25558fee984837389d0e53cd6e17a3820f8e5ea M11 was the one entry in the missalemeum allow-list adjudicated against colitur, and it was right to be. The calendarium directs "Com. octavae Nativitatis" under each of 26, 27 and 28 December (LT.txt:5454-5459) and RG 109(c) makes a commemoration of the days within the Octave privileged. colitur emitted none. The cause was a reasoning error stated in Temporal_ef's own comment: "26-28 Dec are Stephen, John and the Innocents, hence sanctoral". Their office is sanctoral -- those II-class feasts win the day -- but they remain days WITHIN the Octave (RG 67, "Dies infra octavam sunt II classis"), and colitur built them as generic Class4 ferias. With no octave-day candidate there was nothing for the feast to be commemorated over. Building days 2-4 exactly as days 5-7 always were makes the commemoration fall out of the existing machinery rather than needing a special case: the feast wins on rank, the octave day loses, RG 109(c) privileges it, RG 111(c)'s single slot goes to it. A second, independent defect surfaced while fixing it. The octave-day branch covered 29-31 December unconditionally, so a Sunday falling there got a feria identity -- where RG 69 says a Sunday occurring 26-31 December SEMPER keeps its own office and commemorates the feast. Confirmed against the oracle rather than argued: missalemeum shows "Sunday in the Octave of Christmas" on 2035-12-30, a Sunday, where colitur showed a feria. Both named and anchors now exclude Sundays; anchors had asserted the octave slugs unconditionally and was wrong the same way. Blast radius, full sweep against the pre-change binary: 25251 days, every one 26-31 December, exactly two shapes, zero unclassified -- 21653 carrying an octave-day slug and 3598 that are all Sundays, the RG 69 correction. Allow-lists: M11 closed and removed. C6 narrowed 138 to 119, nineteen of its days having changed temporal identity rather than verdict. M15 widened 18 to 22 -- both streams now commemorate the octave, but the candidate is temporal-origin and carries no English name to match against missalemeum's own, this entry's documented limit on four more dates. Stated rather than glossed: this trades a substantive divergence, colitur omitting a commemoration the Missal directs, for a comparator limit, the commemoration existing but not being name-matchable. That is a real improvement, but what the oracle now proves is that both streams commemorate something on those days; the identity rests on the rubric and the calendarium.

Layer 3's 16 801 days compare none of them and never can: lectio's trailing "+slug" tokens are its losing candidates, not an RG 111 admitted set. About a third of all days carry a commemoration and admit is the most intricate code in the engine, so the gap was worth closing. 2035 and 2038 now compare presence, count and identity, reusing the 2026-2027 comparator's own identity_diff with the same limits: a sanctoral-origin commemoration resolves by colitur's English name, a temporal-origin one cannot and is reported as a counted, classified outcome rather than a silent pass. Observed-identity stays out deliberately -- that is M18's separate limit and folding it in would flood these windows with a class that says nothing about commemorations. 36 differing rows across 730 days, every one classified. The great majority of commemoration days agree, which is the headline. Four rows are not calendar differences at all but name forms -- colitur's "The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary" against the oracle's "For Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows", "The Major Litanies" against "Pro rogationibus" -- which is this month's new entities appearing correctly in windows that had never seen them. One finding is genuinely new. On 2038-06-02 the Ascension Vigil admits one commemoration under RG 111(c) and two candidates compete: rogation-wednesday and sts-marcellinus-peter-erasmus. Both are Commemoration_only, so neither has a row in RG 91's table, band returns unclassified for both, RG 113 has nothing to order by, and admit falls through to its alphabetical slug tie-break -- which decides the day. missalemeum keeps the saints. That tie-break was already documented as existing only between two Commemoration_only candidates; this is its first live, externally-witnessed instance, and the decision is made by slug alphabet, which is arbitrary and not rubrical. There may be a real rule going unused: RG 113's first sentence is "Commemoratio de Tempore fit primo loco", and a Rogation is arguably de Tempore -- which turns on whether the entry should carry subject Temporal rather than the Saint it inherited from the Major Litanies precedent, a question the movable-date-specs spec deferred as behaviourally inert and which demonstrably is not. Not decided here. Adopting whichever answer matches the oracle is exactly the reasoning this project refuses, so it is recorded and cited for a task that can weigh it on its own terms.

He is also the only saint routing through common-of-doctors, so that Common had never been compared against any external source in any window. Three independent agreements on it: the scan (Commune Doctorum, scan1:41878ff, 2 Tim. 4, 1-8 / Mt. 5, 13-19), colitur, and missalemeum's own 2035-04-04 row. Asserted by date in its own test rather than folded into an aggregate count, so a regression there cannot hide. The remaining two saints are unreachable by construction, not for want of a fixture: gregory-the-great and patrick both sit in March and are impeded by Lent's privileged ferias in every one of the 46 years the differential covers. The blind spot is closed to its limit, not closed absolutely, and the register says so. The comparator is generalised rather than copied -- compare_live takes a fixture and a year -- so a fourth window would cost a fixture and a count list. 2035 differs on 3 days, both families pre-existing and already cited. 2035-04-02/03 are the Joseph/Annunciation transfer pair landing in the opposite order from missalemeum's: neither stream loses a feast, the sequence differs, which is C14's own RG 96 collision finally getting an oracle window. 2035-12-30 is the Sunday within the Christmas Octave against colitur's numbered octave-day slug, C6's family. Both are recognised by slug rather than by date, so a year exhibiting only half the shape would surface as unexplained rather than be quietly absorbed. 393 tests green with the exhaustive sweep.

The Mass stayed the feria's, so the day observed Our Lady and then read Colossians on the parable of the weeds. That is M26 shape 1. RG 309(a) is the rule -- the Masses the Missal assigns "iuxta temporum diversitatem" -- and it prints five, each under its own season heading. All ten citations are transcribed from the scans with line numbers in the source. Masses II-V were confirmed twice, against the scan and against a live missalemeum capture of 2038 which names them and agrees on both readings. Mass I rests on the scan alone: no oracle year to hand has an Advent Saturday carrying this office. One witness where the others have two, and the code says so rather than blurring it. The mapping looked like the hard part and dissolved. The Missal's ranges are cut by civil dates and movable feasts, not by this rite's seasons -- II ends mid-season at the Purification, III spans four seasons. But measured against what a IV-class Saturday can actually be, it reduces to a seasonal mapping plus one date test at 2/3 February, with no Easter arithmetic at all: III's end to IV's start leaves the Triduum unassigned, unreachable because Holy Saturday is I class; IV's end to V's start leaves Pentecost week unassigned, also unreachable because that week's Saturday is an Ember Saturday. Time after Pentecost then begins exactly at Trinity, exactly where Mass V begins. Both gaps verified by sweep -- zero IV-class Saturdays in either across 2000-2059 -- not inferred. The office is identified structurally, never off the slug, which it deliberately shares with the ordinary feria: subject Bvm, IV class, Saturday. Blast radius: 87611 reading rows over the full domain, every one a Saturday. Allow-lists: M26 27 to 6, shape 1 gone, leaving only the Christ-the-King residue argued in colitur's favour last commit. The 2038 suite's BVM-SATURDAY-MASS class is removed rather than zeroed -- an id with no rows must not be declared. M18 355 to 376. C17 widened 397 to 445, taking its own Saturdays back from C1, C19 and C25, since one cause should not be filed under two ids; C31 89 to 103; C25 closed at 0 rows, its Holy-Name-week Saturdays now answered before step 3 is reached. Three unit tests pinned the old behaviour and are corrected rather than re-pinned: two asserted the day "keeps its ferial Mass", which was the honest thing to assert while this was unimplemented. The third still tests what it always did -- that step 4 refuses a temporal office -- and only what answers instead has changed.

The 1962 calendarium lists it at the foot of March, below the fixed dates, exactly where a movable entry belongs (LT.txt:5056): "Feria VI post dominicam I Passionis: Commemoratio septem Dolorum B. Mariae Virg." Note the word -- Commemoratio. Under the 1960 rubrics it is a commemoration, not a feast, so it can never win the day. Friday after Passion Sunday I is Easter-9, confirmed independently by both dates the oracle allow-list already disputed: Easter 2026 is 5 April and M16's date is 27 March; Easter 2027 is 28 March and M13's is 19 March. It could not be built before Date_spec grew Easter_offset -- the same wall Rogation Wednesday hit, and the second entity that work has now unblocked. M16 is re-adjudicated and its verdict REVERSED, from missalemeum to colitur. The entry existed because colitur admitted St John Damascene where missalemeum showed the Seven Sorrows, colitur having no candidate to admit. Both streams now name the Seven Sorrows and that mismatch is gone. What remains runs the other way, and the rubric is explicit: RG 111(d) admits TWO commemorations on a III-class day, RG 113 puts the seasonal one first, and RG 114 omits only what exceeds the number. 27 March 2026 is a III-class privileged Passiontide feria; colitur admits exactly two, the Seven Sorrows and John Damascene, a real III-class universal feast genuinely falling that day. missalemeum admits one and reports John Damascene as displaced, dropping a commemoration the rubric allows. That makes four divergences adjudicated colitur where missalemeum drops or mis-assigns something -- Monica's Epistle, Perpetua's Common, Christ the King's week, and this. Recorded as a pattern rather than four coincidences: the oracle stays a comparison instrument, but its error rate on adjudicated cases is no longer negligible. M13 is untouched and stays open: 19 March 2027 is a different dispute, whether Joseph is displaced from Passion Friday at all, and on a I-class day RG 111(a) admits one privileged commemoration which the feria takes. Blast radius, full 1583-9999 sweep against the pre-change binary: 7874 days, every one carrying the new commemoration, zero unclassified, line counts equal both sides.

This closes that. 2038 is the only year in 2005-2050 in which two of the five Common-routed saints are the observed office (Perpetua and Felicitas on 6 March, Frances of Rome on 9 March). 365 days were captured live, one request per day, zero failures. A separate fixture, not more rows on the existing one. sources.md already records that the live endpoint has drifted from lectio's archived 2026-2027 snapshot; merging two versions of one source behind a single set of expectations would make any future disagreement unattributable -- calendar or drift, no way to tell. Nothing in the 2038 comparison is checked against the older fixture, and its provenance file says so, along with the fact that a live capture is not reproducible byte-for-byte on demand the way a snapshot-derived one is. 338 of 365 days match. 27 differ, every one of them in a named, already-adjudicated class, none unexplained: 13 the BVM Saturday votive Mass (M26 shape 1), 7 colour (M21), 2 Judith (M28), 2 Christ the King's week (M26 shape 2b), 1 Christmas multi-Mass (M27), 1 Perpetua's Common, 1 new. Each was decided in a different year, so 2038 re-confirms them independently -- the point of a second window is not new rulings but evidence the old ones are not artefacts of their own year. Two findings came out of it. Perpetua and Felicitas: missalemeum serves the Common of Virgins and calls them "Virgins and Martyrs" in its own oration, where the Missal directs "Missa Me exspectaverunt, de Communi non Virginum I loco" (scan1:27634-27635). Both Commons share the Introit Ps 118:95-96, which is exactly why the calendarium qualifies its direction, and both women were mothers. Verdict colitur; the mechanism is located on missalemeum's side, not merely asserted. Passion Tuesday: the Missal prints "Dan. 14, 27 et 28-42" (scan1:11106) and colitur reproduces that two-part form where missalemeum collapses it to 27-42. Same verses; the convention is deliberate, appearing also in the Seven Sorrows and the Common of Non-Virgins. Verdict colitur, cosmetic. Citations are notation-normalised before comparing, as layer 3 already does: Ecclus/Sir, Joann/John, Luc/Luke, Matth/Matt. Each pair was added because a real row needed it, and no target contains its own source as a substring, so the set is idempotent. Not compared, stated rather than left to be found: commemorations and observed-identity. That machinery is built around a date-literal 28-entry allow-list specific to 2026-2027, and re-deriving it for a second year is its own task. 2038 compares rank, colour, Epistle, Gospel. The extractor's day count was hardcoded to 730, which silently forbade any other window. It is now a parameter defaulting to 730, so the existing documented command keeps its guard and a partial fetch still fails loudly instead of producing a short fixture that passes a comparison it never ran. Teeth, by re-running section 6.7's own experiment: corrupting the Common of Non-Virgins II now reddens four tests, two of them external-oracle, where the same mutation previously reddened neither oracle layer. Residual: isidore-of-seville is still unwitnessed and needs 2035 or 2046; gregory-the-great and patrick are never the observed office in any year 2005-2050, so no fixture in that range can reach them.

No behaviour change; the suite is unchanged at 358 green. The ferial rubric "Diebus ferialibus a 2 ad 5 ianuarii Missa dicitur ut die 1 ianuarii" was attributed to RG 17(a) in three test comments. It is not RG 17(a). RG 17(a) (LT.txt:843) fixes only WHEN the Holy Name is kept -- "celebrandum dominica quae occurrit a die 2 ad 5 ianuarii; secus die 2 ianuarii". The rubric quoted is a Mass-propers rubric printed under the Sanctissimi Nominis Iesu heading (scan1:6523-6526, corroborated scan2:7216), governing what the ordinary ferias of that window say when they are not the feast at all. Two rules sharing a date window. Fix round 1 had already corrected this on the data side; the generator's own comment was right throughout. Only the test comments were stale. test_differential.ml named bootstrap_lectionary.ml's derived_entries as the source of ef-holy-name's citations. That binding no longer exists -- it was the mechanism that derived them from ef-holy-name-sunday's wrongly-widened ini translation, removed in Task 9 because the derivation was itself the error. They are hand-authored from the scans now, as holy_name_entries. M26's shape 1 described its 21 rows as votive Masses of the BVM "on an otherwise-unoccupied feria, not only a Saturday", splitting them into 4 BVM-Saturday rows and 17 "ordinary weekday ferias". Every one of the 21 is a Saturday, each checked individually against date -d. The error was not merely verbal: it made the gap look broader than a single cause and pointed away from the one rule that explains all 21. The sub-groups differ by season, not weekday, and only in what colitur shows in the votive Mass's place. One gap -- the office is built (RG 91 entry 27), the seasonal selection among the five Masses is not. Recorded, not fixed: step 4 of the reading chain has no oracle witness at all. This began as a note to write up a live-oracle confirmation for Felicitas and Perpetua; the reconstruction contradicted its premise. The sweep ran over 2028, where 6 March resolves as a Lenten feria with the saint admitted only as a commemoration, so her own Mass is never read that year. The finding underneath is firmer: only five saints route through a Common, they are the observed office on five days in all of 2005-2050 (isidore-of-seville 2008/2035/2046, frances-rome and sts-felicitas-perpetua both 2038), two are never observed in 46 years, and none falls in layer 4's window. Layer 3 does not cover it either -- lectio resolves the literal "-"/"-" sentinel there, which is what C18 is gated on, so it confirms only that colitur emits a citation where lectio emits none, never that it is right. Closing it needs the oracle fixture extended to 2035, 2038 or 2046; that is a fixture-scope decision. Register: sections 6.6 and 6.7.

All three now adjudicated against the photographic scans of the 1962 Missal. The Assumption's Epistle reads "Iudith 13, 22-25; 15, 10" (scan1:35357). Both engines carried "Judith 13:22-25; 13:15; 13:10" -- a chapter carry-over defect that re-applied chapter 13 to the second citation and so invented two verses the Missal never cites. The Seven Sorrows reads "Iudith 13, 22 et 23-25" (scan1:36938, corroborated at 28468); both carried "Judith 13:22; 13:25", dropping the range. The third, St Monica, resolves the other way: the Missal gives 1 Timothy (scan2:32679, heading and incipit both legible; scan1:29524 agrees) where missalemeum serves the Common of Holy Women's Proverbs -- colitur is right, no change. Layer 3 could not have found either citation defect. colitur's data is bootstrapped from lectio, and lectio is the other side of that differential, so while both engines produced the identical wrong answer the comparison held it against itself and reported agreement -- the shared-lineage blindness CLAUDE.md names, now with a second live witness beside Holy Thursday's colour. Only an external oracle could see it, and only outside the committed fixture's own window. Fixed upstream in lectio, re-bootstrapped here (provenance SHA-256 moved to 54f6bfc5, verified against the source), fixture regenerated. The upstream fix inverted layer 3 from blind to load-bearing here: reverting the Assumption citation now reddens both layers, where before it would have reddened neither. Verified by mutation, both directions. Allow-lists: - C22 closed and removed (128 rows -> 0), not re-adjudicated -- the other engine was fixed to agree, the same shape as the C2-C5/C7/C9-C13/C21 closures. Its own note had already flagged the Lenten Ember dead-key bug for upstream; lectio now also fails its build on any unreachable lectionary key rather than serving a plausible wrong Mass. - M28 opened (3 rows, verdict colitur), pinning both sides' citation text rather than the date and diff shape alone, so a different divergence landing on the same date cannot be swallowed. - M8's gate widened, expected_rows unchanged at 2: 2027-08-15 carries both its cause and M28's, and one entry is admitted per day. It stays under M8, which now requires its own commemoration difference to be present and admits the citation difference only when it satisfies M28's two-sided predicate. Neither cause absorbs the other. layer_m_reason's oracle-row parameter, kept named since M2 closed for exactly such a future reader, is live again.
