+(** Resolution across a whole liturgical year (spec §2.4).
+
+ Transfers make per-date resolution impossible to do correctly: resolving
+ 25 March can push a feast onto 26 March, and RG 97-98 has coinciding
+ I-class feasts transfer in table order, which needs global knowledge of
+ the whole year. So [year] is the primitive -- it resolves every date in
+ one pass -- and [day] is derived: it finds the liturgical year containing
+ a date and indexes into it. Both are pure; neither caches.
+
+ Once every day's temporal-vs-sanctoral contest is resolved, [year] places
+ every deferred candidate (RG 96-98): a losing I-class candidate the
+ rite's rules send to [Precedence.Transfer] does not stay put -- it moves
+ to the next day [rite.transfer_target] names as admissible, and both
+ ends of the move are recorded: [transferred_in] on the day it arrives
+ (at most one -- RG 96 sends each departure to the next day that is not I
+ or II class, and the first to arrive occupies it), [transferred_out] on
+ the day it left (a list, not an option: RG 97-98 has coinciding I-class
+ feasts transfer "in order", so one day can lose more than one). Every
+ deferred candidate is accounted for exactly once: placed, or -- only if
+ the placement fixed point is not reached within the round guard (which
+ nothing in the 1962 calendar is expected to trigger), or the rite's own
+ [transfer_target] names a date outside this liturgical year's own range
+ (unproven to occur in the real EF calendar, but not ruled out by
+ construction) -- left in [Liturgical_day.omitted] with a reason that
+ says which, never silently dropped. See [calendar.ml]'s
+ [place_transfers] for the algorithm and its termination argument.
+
+ [Precedence.Repose]-disposed losers are gathered the same way
+ [Precedence.Transfer]-disposed ones are (Precedence folds both into
+ [deferred] as one case) and are routed through the same RG 96 search.
+ That is only correct for [Transfer]: [Repose] denotes RG 100-102's
+ *repositio*, a distinct rubric this module does not implement. Nothing
+ in the EF ruleset currently returns [Repose] (design spec §1.3:
+ "declared, not exercised" -- perpetual impediment arises from
+ proper/diocesan calendars, out of this plan's scope), so the gap is
+ latent rather than a live bug; documented here rather than given a
+ second mechanism for a disposition nothing emits. *)
+
+(** [year rite layer y] resolves every day of the liturgical year that opens
+ in civil year [y]: from [rite.year_start y] through the day before
+ [rite.year_start (y + 1)], inclusive of both ends.
+
+ Total over 1583..9999, including the boundary years, and beyond them too:
+ [y] is clamped to [1582, 9999] before either bound is computed (not just
+ guarded near the two edges independently -- see [year_bounds] in
+ [calendar.ml] for why that distinction matters), so [year] never raises
+ regardless of the [y] it is given, not only for values near the domain
+ edge.
+ - At [y] = 9999, [rite.year_start (y + 1)] would ask for civil year
+ 10000, out of {!Date}'s domain (this is the bug Plan 2 shipped in
+ [Validate] and later fixed). The end of the walk clamps to 31 December
+ 9999 instead of computing that call; the returned year comes back
+ truncated to whatever the rite's own temporal cycle covers between
+ [rite.year_start 9999] and the last day of that civil year, not
+ un-computable.
+ - Symmetrically, [y] < 1583 clamps the start of the walk to 1 January
+ 1583 instead of calling [rite.year_start y] on an out-of-domain civil
+ year. [year] is never called this way directly by anything in this
+ module; {!day} is the only caller that can reach [y] = 1582 (one below
+ the floor, never lower), when the date it was asked about sits in civil
+ year 1583 before that year's own [rite.year_start] -- i.e. the sliver
+ whose true liturgical year opened in civil year 1582, which the domain
+ cannot represent. Calling [year] with such a [y] directly is also safe:
+ it returns exactly that truncated sliver. *)
+val year : ('s, 'r) Rite.t -> 'r Layer.t -> int -> ('s, 'r) Liturgical_day.t array
+
+(** [day rite layer date] finds the liturgical year containing [date] -- the
+ year [y] with [rite.year_start y <= date < rite.year_start (y + 1)] --
+ and returns its slot for [date]. Recomputes that whole year on every
+ call: pure, no cache, no mutable state. Acceptable cost for the natural
+ usage (dump a year, sweep years for validation), which pays it once. *)
+val day : ('s, 'r) Rite.t -> 'r Layer.t -> Date.t -> ('s, 'r) Liturgical_day.t
