The Overlay algebra has been built and tested since Plan 2, and
Date_spec grew movable variants last commit, but there was still no way
to hand colitur a file: bin/main.ml applied exactly one overlay, the
shipped data/ef/adjustments.sexp, with the path hardcoded. This is the
plumbing.
--overlay is repeatable and ordered, and applies ON TOP of the shipped
adjustments rather than instead of them. That ordering is the whole
point: adjustments.sexp carries RG 110's own 30 June companion, the Major
Litanies, St Barbara and Rogation Wednesday, and a user file that
replaced it would silently drop all four while appearing merely to add a
local feast. Overlay.merge is last-writer-wins, so a local calendar can
still override a universal entry deliberately, by naming its slug.
The dispatch needed real argument parsing. It matched Sys.argv as an
exact array, which does not survive a repeatable flag -- two --overlay
arguments are a different array shape from one, and each further flag
would multiply the patterns again. Flags are now stripped first and the
remaining words matched as command plus year. Hand-rolled, because the
dependency list is frozen and this is fifteen lines. One defect found by
the cram suite on the first run: the unknown-option guard rejected
--help and --version, having excluded only their short forms.
Refused, not ignored, on easter and temporal. Neither reads sanctoral
data -- temporal deliberately runs the cycle before any layer exists --
so accepting the flag there and silently doing nothing is the failure
mode this project refuses everywhere else.
A file that fails to load is fatal, exactly as the shipped overlay is; a
directive naming a slug that does not exist warns on stderr and the run
continues. The second matters more for a user file than for ours: a typo
in a diocesan calendar should say so rather than quietly do nothing.
test/fixtures/overlay-example-diocesan.sexp is a worked example and is
labelled as invented, not calendar data. It carries both shapes a real
local calendar needs: a fixed-date patron, and a dedication on "the first
Sunday of October" -- which is the case the Date_spec work existed to
unlock and which lands on 4 October in 2026, 3 October in 2027, 1 October
in 2028. The dedication is I class because a church's own dedication
anniversary is I class in that church; at III class it lost to the
II-class Sunday every year, which a first draft demonstrated correctly
and uselessly.
The man page gains an OVERLAYS section saying plainly that an overlay is
applied, NOT validated: the five test layers assert things about the
shipped calendar and none of them can vouch for a file the user supplies.
This is the first feature that lets someone change what colitur computes,
and that distinction should not have to be inferred.

Three things the project had no answer for: how to install it without
knowing dune, where to read about it, and what it does when asked.
Makefile, same shape as lectio's -- PREFIX ?= $(HOME)/.local, BINDIR,
MANDIR, and the '## '-comment help target -- so the two siblings are
driven the same way. Every recipe wraps dune in `opam exec --`, which is
the actual point of having one here: `make build` works from a plain
shell with no `eval $(opam env)` first. install goes through `dune
install` rather than a hand-rolled copy, because the binary finds its
calendar data relative to its own path; the man page is installed
separately to share/man/man1, matching lectio. install and uninstall
were both run against a scratch prefix and checked: uninstall leaves
zero files behind.
PREFIX defaults to ~/.local because that is where lectio installs and
where it actually lives on this machine, so colitur lands on an existing
PATH with no shell change. An earlier install this session went to
~/opt/colitur, which was me over-applying a rule meant for third-party
tools to one of the author's own projects; it has been removed rather
than left as a second, staler binary competing on PATH.
man/colitur.1 documents the four commands, both output formats and why
they differ, COLITUR_DATA_DIR and its refusal to fall back, the data
resolution order, exit statuses, and -- deliberately -- the limitations:
EF only, Epistle and Gospel only with the chants unbuilt and rejected
rather than guessed, and the BVM Saturday Mass-selection gap. A man page
that only lists what works is half a man page. Renders clean under
`groff -ww -z`, no warnings.
--help prints to stdout and exits 0; a usage error prints one line to
stderr and exits 2. That is the Unix convention rather than a
preference: asking for help succeeded and should be pipeable, being
invoked wrongly did not and must not pollute stdout. Both directions are
asserted in cli.t, along with a loop confirming every command the help
text advertises is one the dispatch actually accepts -- the check that
catches help drifting away from the code.
