* feat(cli): --overlay FILE, so a local calendar can be suppliedLukasz Kasprzak2026-08-171-0/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* feat(cli): a Makefile, a man page, and --helpLukasz Kasprzak2026-08-171-0/+219
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.
