(* RG 91's Table of Precedence (docs/research/rules-register.md §4). Each
branch below is one of the table's 28 entries, checked in the table's own
numeric order -- lower wins, and because occasional entries are true
exceptions to a later, broader one (RG 91 entry 18's Ember days are an
exception carved out of entry 22's Lent ferias; entry 21/26's vigils are
an exception carved out of the generic Class2/Class3 sanctoral-feast
entries that would otherwise also match), checking in table order and
returning on the first match is what makes the exception actually win
without a separate exclusion for every later entry it pre-empts.
Two kinds of evidence decide an entry:
- The temporal cycle's own office (Nativity, a Sunday, a feria, All Souls)
is identified structurally, from the context's date/season/weekday and
the day's Easter offset -- never from its slug, which is just a label.
[origin = Temporal] gates every such entry so a sanctoral candidate that
happens to share a date (Immaculate Conception can never coincide with
the movable cycle, but nothing stops a future rite bug from producing
one) cannot be mistaken for the office itself. All Souls (entry 8, the
one non-temporal-origin member of this group) additionally reads the
context's weekday for its own register-stated exception -- see entry 8
below.
- A sanctoral feast's entry is decided by its [rank], and -- except at
entry 14 (see its own comment below, where the register draws no such
line) -- per the brief's structural insight, also by its
{!Celebration.t}.layer: a celebration whose layer is not the universal
base is an overlay, hence "proper" or "indult" rather than the
universal entry (11-13 I class; 16/19/20 II class; 23/24 III class; see
precedence_ef.mli). [origin = Sanctoral] gates these for the same
reason: temporal-origin celebrations carry the literal layer id
"temporal" (rite_ef/temporal_ef.ml's [build]), which is not
[universal_layer] either, and would otherwise be misread as "proper" by
the layer test alone.
Vigils (21, 26) are the one shape neither of those two kinds fully
describes on their own: a II/III-class vigil can be temporal-origin (the
Ascension Vigil, produced by temporal_ef today) or sanctoral-origin (a
saint's vigil, not yet loaded by any task), so its entry cannot be gated
on [origin] at all. Nothing in the day's other fields marks "this is a
vigil, not an ordinary office of the same rank" either, so this reads it
off the temporal cycle's own slug convention (a "-vigil" suffix -- see
[named] in temporal_ef.ml) rather than guessing a new one. *)

of the same rank" (see the file's top comment), so entries 21/26 read it
off the temporal cycle's own slug suffix (rite_ef/temporal_ef.ml's
[named], e.g. "ef-ascension-vigil"). *)
let vigil_suffix = "-vigil"
(* Not an RG citation -- see [universal_layer]. Task 10's sanctoral bootstrap
turned out to name its four real vigils with lectio's OWN convention, a
"vigil-of-X" PREFIX (data/ef/sanctoral.sexp: vigil-of-st-lawrence,
vigil-of-sts-peter-paul, vigil-of-the-assumption, vigil-of-the-nativity-
of-st-john-the-baptist), not [vigil_suffix] -- exactly the mismatch Task
7's review predicted when it asked for [vigil_suffix] to be exposed.
[is_vigil] below checks both conventions, so a celebration is a "vigil"
for RG 91/33's purposes regardless of which layer (temporal or sanctoral)
produced it. *)

(* Not an RG citation -- see [universal_layer]. Entry 18's Ember days are
identified by the temporal cycle's own slug convention (rite_ef/
temporal_ef.ml's [ember]: "ef-<set>-ember-<day>"), not re-derived here:
the September anchor in particular is one of the more contested dates in
the 1962 calendar (temporal_ef.ml's own comment on
[third_sunday_of_september]), and re-deriving it a second time would only
create a second place for that same uncertainty to drift. Only the
Advent, Lent and September sets are listed: RG 91 entry 18 names exactly
those three; the Whitsun (Pentecost) set is I class and falls inside the
Pentecost octave, entry 10, matched below before this is ever reached.
Exposed for the same reason as [vigil_suffix]: a rename of temporal_ef's
format has somewhere to be caught other than a silently-wrong entry 18.
[september_ember_prefix] is broken out as its own name (rather than an
anonymous list literal) because Task 9's [privilege_of] needs to test the
September set alone, RG 109 privileging it while leaving the Advent and
Lent sets ordinary (register lines 375-376) -- building [ember_prefixes]
from it rather than duplicating the literal keeps the two from silently
drifting apart. *)

otherwise not a citation to any other RG 91 row -- nothing else can
ever occur on 2 November to be confused with it. Entry 8's own [rank]

makes internally, which is this module's own responsibility (rite.mli
documents the obligation this constant exists to satisfy). Comfortably
longer than the longest real run of consecutive I/II-class days the 1962
calendar produces -- 24 Dec to 1 Jan (the Nativity vigil through the
Circumcision, both I class, with the intervening octave days II class) is
9 days; Easter through Low Sunday (the Easter octave, I class, entry 10)

non-blocking feria follows any such run in real data. Not tuned to that
bound any more than 64 is tuned to RG 97-98's real collision count: a

constant, not worth a new signature just to share it). [search_from]
below must never call [occupant] on a date past this: [occupant] chains
through the rite's own [temporal] (calendar.ml's [resolve_with_injected]),
which for the real EF rite calls [Computus.gregorian_easter], which is
NOT total outside 1583..9999 -- it constructs a [Date.t] via [Date.make]

is documented "unbounded total arithmetic"), so [search_from] CAN walk

only happen on the NEXT [occupant d] call, which is exactly the bug this
guards against: an I-class feast impeded late enough in civil year 9999
that every remaining day of the year is also I or II class (reachable
through the project's own overlay mechanism, confirmed by review: an
Add-ed I-class feast on 25 December leaves only Class2 Nativity-octave
days for the rest of 9999, so the unguarded walk reached 1 January 10000

the recursion, capped at [max_search_days]: the function decreases
[max_search_days - steps] by exactly one on every call and returns as
soon as that reaches zero (whether or not an admissible day was ever
found), so THIS loop terminates by construction, regardless of what
[occupant] reports -- it does not rely on the real EF calendar's own
structure to guarantee termination the way the comment above explains
why the bound is never actually reached in practice. Also stops, without
calling [occupant] again, once [d] passes {!domain_max_date} -- see that
constant's own comment for why probing [occupant] beyond it can raise.
Either way the last date visited is returned WITHOUT a further
[occupant] probe -- one more finite (not necessarily admissible) date,
not a further search -- because the value the caller ([transfer_target])
is still owed is "a date", never an exception; {!Calendar}'s own
[~start ~stop] bound (calendar.ml's [place_transfers]) is what turns an

result is always strictly after [origin]. Terminating: [search_from]'s
own structural bound, above. Strictly after [origin]: the general branch
is exactly [search_from]'s own result starting at [Date.add_days origin
1], which only ever advances forward from there, so it is always >=
origin + 1. The Annunciation branch, when it fires, instead searches from
the Monday after Low Sunday for [origin]'s own civil year -- NOT provably
later than [origin] by the code alone, but true of every representable
year: the Annunciation's [origin] is always 25 March (Date_spec.Fixed in
data/ef/sanctoral.sexp), Easter always falls within that SAME civil year
in [22 March, 25 April] (Computus's own documented range, register §0),
so Low Sunday (Easter + 7) falls in [29 March, 2 May] and the Monday
after it in [30 March, 3 May] -- always after 25 March.
RG 96 Attamen (a) (see {!annunciation_slug}'s own comment) makes the
Annunciation exception CONDITIONAL on the general walk carrying the
feast past Easter -- so the general target is always computed FIRST,
for every candidate, and only overridden for the Annunciation when that
target itself falls after Easter Sunday. A version of this function that
tested the DATE of [origin] instead (e.g. "is 25 March within some fixed
window of Easter") would be re-deriving the register's own "quando est
transferendum post Pascha" condition from first principles, exactly the
kind of guess this project's "a wrong citation is worse than a missing
one" rule warns against; comparing the general target against Easter
directly tests the rubric's own words. *)
