[not (is_proper layer)], not [is_universal layer]. These four rows pin
exactly what that correction fixes: without it, Corpus Christi comes out
unclassified (a hole) and Trinity/Christ the King land at entry 6 instead
of entry 3. *)

(* Fix round 1 (coordinator review, 2026-08-25). (a) THE TENSION: the
Tabula's own entry 9 reads "Feriae Adventus a die 17 ad 24 decembris
INCLUSIVE" -- 24 December is textually a late-Advent feria -- yet
Phase 1's temporal_of.ml gives that civil day the identity
[of-nativity-vigil] at rank Sollemnitas, because the Vigil Mass is
celebrated that evening; at colitur's one-office-per-civil-day
granularity only one identity can hold the day. (b) THE RESOLUTION:
Phase 2 classifies whatever identity Phase 1 already chose to emit, it
does not reach back and override that choice -- the same shape, and
the same settlement, as Holy Thursday (entry 2, not entry 1) above.
So this candidate's rank (Sollemnitas) and layer (temporal, hence
[not (is_proper layer)]) correctly route it to entry 3, band 30, not
entry 9's 90. (c) OBSERVABILITY: on the universal calendar nothing
else competes for 24 December, so this value can never be OBSERVED
today -- it is unobservable, not untested. It becomes live the moment
a proper/diocesan overlay places a proper solemnity (entry 4, band 40)
on 24 December: at 30 the Vigil beats it, but at the textually-arguable
90 the proper solemnity would beat the Vigil instead. That reversal is
exactly what this row guards against a silent branch-reorder. *)
