fix(lectionary): render psalm numbers in each locale's own convention (#973) - #977

Conversation
Adds `composer lint:lectionary-psalms` (scripts/lint-lectionary-psalms.php), a CI gate for the six-way psalm numbering convention documented in the new jsondata/sourcedata/rite/roman/lectionary/README.md: the Psalter is numbered two incompatible ways (Hebrew/Masoretic and Greek/Vulgate), and a citation in the wrong numbering names a DIFFERENT psalm, not a differently-formatted one. Nothing else in CI can see this — schema validation only checks that a string is a string, and #969's key-set comparison agrees perfectly across six files holding six different psalms under the same key. The lint recognises all five psalm prefixes the corpus uses (Psalm, Salmo, Psalmo, Psaume, Ps) in every locale's file, not just that locale's own prefix, so a locale that still holds another locale's numbering (as nl.json does today) is caught rather than silently passing having checked nothing (#822, #833, #834, #835). The regex is ordered longest-prefix-first to avoid the leftmost-first PCRE trap where `Psalmo 71` would otherwise read as `Psalm` and misclassify a Latin citation as Dutch; a standing self-test proves all five prefixes resolve to themselves before any corpus data is read. `la` is the one locale whose citation carries a single bare number with nothing to self-validate against, so its number is cross-checked against en.json's Hebrew value (via the Hebrew -> Vulgate mapping table) for the same citation; Ps 116 and Ps 147 are skipped from that check, and from the it/fr/nl dual-citation pair check, when no verse number disambiguates their verse-dependent split, with the skip count reported so it stays visible. This lint is RED at this commit, by design: it only adds the gate, and the current corpus fails it (checked 1058 citations across 10 sections): en=20, hr=0, it=102, fr=102, nl=128, la=116 violations (3 skipped). hr's 0 confirms the matcher is sound (hr is meant to be already conformant). A later commit (#973's data fix) is what turns this lint green.

…#973) The corpus was not split between two numbering systems; it stored ONE numbering (Hebrew/Masoretic) across six files that need three different renderings, and the dual form used by the books is `Vulgate (Hebrew)`, not the reverse. This applies the per-locale convention recorded in jsondata/sourcedata/rite/roman/lectionary/README.md and takes `composer lint:lectionary-psalms` from 468 violations to 0. en bare Hebrew 20 duals stripped to their PARENTHESISED number hr bare Hebrew untouched it Salmo V (H) 102 citations glossed fr Psaume V (H) 102 citations glossed la bare Vulgate 117 citations renumbered to Vulgate nl Psalm H (V) 130 citations moved off Latin onto the Dutch form Psalms 1-8 and 148-150 take no gloss: the two systems coincide there. The Latin change is the load-bearing one and rests on the 1987 Latin lectionary printing bare Vulgate numbers, proven by its incipits (see the README table). Three whole-psalm `Ps 147` citations in feriale_tempus_nativitatis could not be mapped from the number alone, since Hebrew 147 splits into Vulgate 146 (vv. 1-11) and 147 (vv. 12-20). All three were resolved to Vulgate 147 from printed lectionaries — AELF 2024-01-06 and 2025-01-10 print `Ps 147 (147b), 12-13, 14-15, 19-20`, and CEI 2025-01-11 prints `Dal Sal 147` over *Celebra il Signore, Gerusalemme* (Lauda, Ierusalem). No lint exception was needed. Two corrections the conversion could not have been done without: * `en` held VULGATE numbers at JesusChristEternalHighPriest in all three years (39/109/22 against hr's 40/110/23). The England & Wales Liturgy Office lectionary for the feast prints `Psalm 40(39)`, `Psalm 110(109)` and `Psalm 23 (22)`, so hr was right. This is not cosmetic: `en` is the Hebrew oracle the lint checks `la` against, so converting on top of it would have moved four locales onto the wrong psalm. `en` now carries 40, 110 and 23; verse ranges are untouched. * Four citations were spelled `Psalmus`, which the lint's regex does not recognise (`Psalm\s+` does not match `Psalmus`), so they were invisible to it — hence the baseline counts of nl=128 la=128 for corpora of 130. They now use their locale's own prefix. The regex gap itself is left open work, recorded in the README. Also: sanctorum/en.json StJoseph gospel_acclamation `Psalm 84,5` -> `Psalm 84:5`, the one comma-style stray in a colon-style file. Two pre-existing reading-level defects were found and deliberately NOT fixed here, since they are not numbering defects: fr's year C row for JesusChristEternalHighPriest is a verbatim duplicate of its own year B row, and en's ChristmasWeekdayJan5 row holds a different day's readings than every other locale. Both are described in the README. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01C1mzMZgPg3y9KKQRMfHK38
…lint see them (#973) Review fix round 1. Four items. 1. A `;`-joined CONTINUATION reference was left unconverted in nine leaves. The Easter Vigil's seventh psalm is two psalms in one citation and only the first carries a prefix — Hebrew `Psalm 42:3,5;43:3,4`. The conversion pass read the leading reference and stopped, so `la` shipped `Psalmo 41:3,5;43:3,4`, where the bare `43` in a bare-Vulgate file names Hebrew 44 (Deus, auribus nostris) instead of Hebrew 43 (Iudica me, Deus). Same in `it` and `fr`. la Psalmo 41:3,5;42:3,4 it Salmo 41 (42), 3.5;42 (43), 3.4 fr Psaume 41 (42):3,5;42 (43):3,4 Three sections each. A corpus-wide sweep for `;` inside a psalm citation found no other instance in a converted locale; the only other two are `en`-only and already correct as bare Hebrew. 2. `nl`'s continuation was missing its gloss (its bare `43` happened to name the right psalm, `nl` being Hebrew-first, so this was a convention defect rather than a wrong psalm): `Psalm 42 (41):3,5;43 (42):3,4`. 3. Both lint blind spots closed, each with a self-test case: * `Psalmus` is now RECOGNISED — not as a valid prefix, but so that a citation spelled that way is reported as a prefix no locale allows instead of passing unseen. `Psalm\s+` does not match `Psalmus`, so four such citations were invisible and the per-locale counts read 128 for corpora of 130. It is the Latin nominative and the form the Nova Vulgata prints, so reintroduction is likely, not exotic. * A citation is now split into its leading reference plus every `;`-joined continuation, and each is checked under the same locale rule — for `la`, against that continuation's own counterpart in `en` (the ground-truth key gained a reference index), not against the leading one. FULL validation rather than fail-closed-only: the shape is small and closed (optional prefix, number, optional gloss, verses), so there was no reason to settle for less. Anything after a `;` that cannot be read as a psalm reference IS failed closed — only values that begin with a psalm citation reach the parser, so `John 1:7; Luke 1:17` is never examined. The summary line now reports the continuation count for the same reason it reports per-locale counts. Each self-test case was mutation-checked: dropping `Psalmus` from the regex, removing continuation parsing, and turning the fail-closed branch into a skip each make the run abort with a distinct INTERNAL ERROR. Two data-level mutations were checked too — reverting `la`'s continuation to `43` is reported as "bare number 43 is not the Vulgate equivalent of Hebrew 43 (expected 42)", and a reintroduced `Psalmus` as a prefix mismatch. 4. The README no longer asserts the print ORDER of the England & Wales lectionary's citations for JesusChristEternalHighPriest. It gives the PAIRS (40/39, 110/109, 23/22), which is what the conclusion actually rests on, quotes the PDF's strings as extracted, and records that other England & Wales material prints the same pairs the other way round (Universalis `Psalm 23(24)`; CJM "Psalm 22" for this feast's year C) — so nothing here is evidence of a house order.

…#973) Two findings from review of #977. The en/hr branch validated only the absence of a gloss and then continued, so a bare number outside the Psalter's 1-150 range passed unexamined. it/fr/nl/la were already covered downstream, by the mapping table returning no equivalent, but en and hr never consult it. The check now runs before the per-locale branches, so it covers every locale. Verified to bite: injecting `Psalm 200` into sanctorum/en.json is now reported, where previously it was accepted. `dominicale_et_festivum_C/it.json` carried the English `Isaiah 12` in the Easter Vigil's seventh psalm, where years A and B correctly read `Isaia`. Fixed here rather than deferred because it sits in the very string this PR rewrote — the two psalm alternatives either side of it were both converted in this branch. The remaining book-name defects found alongside it are NOT fixed here: they live in `first_reading` and `gospel` fields, and touching those would break this PR's invariant that only psalm-bearing fields move. They are tracked in #980, which also carries two Latin citations naming the wrong book that this review turned up. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

@matthewa26 and @sjml before I merge this, can I ask you kindly to review it, if it seems coherent? I did ask Claude Code to help me confront data from various PDFs and Bishops Conference websites to get an overview of the actual usage in referencing the Psalms in various countries. The comment on the related issue groups into four classes of conventions:
If only the various Bishops Conferences around the world would agree on a single convention in the Liturgical books! But alas that is not the case. It would be useful in any case to have a few extra pairs of eyes on this, to be sure that the reasoning and the categorization is correct, and that the corrections proposed in this PR correspond with what the liturgical books or Bishops Conference websites actually print. |
The CI job's comment said the Psalter is numbered two ways and that each locale "follows one or the other" — full stop. True of the two numbering SYSTEMS, misleading about the conventions: a locale may also gloss the citation with the other system's number, or not, so two systems times "glossed or not" gives FOUR conventions across the six locales: bare Vulgate la Vulgate (Hebrew) it, fr bare Hebrew en, hr Hebrew (Vulgate) nl The CI comment is the one place a reader meets this without the table beside it, so it now names all four and points at the README. The README and the script docblock were already accurate — both said "sometimes glossed, sometimes not" — but the README now states the count outright rather than leaving it to be inferred from the table below it. No behaviour change: comment and prose only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Still learning the details of how the data is structured here, so hard for me to give a definitive "looks good to me" on this. That said, it looks at first glance like a solid approach to dealing with the (unfortunate!) inconsistencies on the numbering of Psalms. I'm still in the midst of prepping for a big move in a couple weeks, so for the next month or so especially please don't let me hold anything up. Once I'm settled a bit in the new assignment I plan on digging in here to get a better sense of the codebase / data shape / etc. |
Closes #973. Evidence and sources are collected in this comment on the issue.
The issue is framed two ways round
The dual form is
Vulgate (Hebrew), not the reverse. Croatian settles it:hr.jsonnever uses the dual form, and whereveren.jsonwrote one, the numberhrwrites bare is the parenthesised one. SoPsalm 45 (46)is Vulgate 45 / Hebrew 46 (Deus noster refugium), and it collided with the Assumption'sPsalm 45:10…, which is Hebrew 45 (Audi filia) — two different psalms behind one leading number.And the corpus was not split between two conventions. It stored one numbering across six files needing four different renderings, because each locale's own liturgical books number the Psalter differently:
laitfrenhrnlThe parenthetical is omitted where the numberings coincide (Hebrew 1–8, 148–150); CEI prints a bare
Sal 5for 7 September 2026, confirming the rule.The "dual where whole-psalm, single where versed" hypothesis in the issue does not hold either: in
sanctorumthere were 83 whole-psalm citations, 72 bare and 11 dual — the 11 were stragglers, not a convention.la.jsonturned out furthest from its own book: itsPsalmo 89for St Joseph was Hebrew 89, where the Latin lectionary printsPs 88.What changed
468 citations across four locales.
hr.jsonis untouched.enitfrlanlPsalm H (V)hrnlwas not in the original plan for this PR — it was deferred to the Dutch PR (#972). But this PR is also what introduces thelectionary_psalms_lintCI job, and 128 of the 468 violations werenl, so deferring them would have merged a PR whose own new check was red. Onlynl's psalm citations changed here; its book names remain Latin for #972 to convert.Two data defects found along the way
en.jsonheld Vulgate numbers at three leaves.JesusChristEternalHighPriest, years A/B/C, carriedPsalm 39,109,22wherehrhas40,110,23. The texts identify themselves:Ps 39:7-8"Here I am, I come to do your will" is Vulgate (Hebrew 40:7-8);Ps 109:1"The Lord said to my Lord" is Vulgate (Hebrew 110:1);Ps 22:2-3"green pastures" is Vulgate (Hebrew 23:2-3). Corrected. This mattered beyond the three leaves, because the lint validateslaagainsten's Hebrew values — converting on top of a wrong oracle would have moved four locales onto the wrong psalm.The Easter Vigil's seventh psalm is two psalms, written as one string: Hebrew
42:3,5;43:3,4. The first pass converted the prefixed reference and left the un-prefixed continuation at its Hebrew value, solabriefly readPsalmo 41:3,5;43:3,4— in a bare-Vulgate file that trailing43names Hebrew 44 (Deus, auribus nostris) rather than Hebrew 43 (Iudica me, Deus). Nine leaves, caught in review and fixed.The lint
composer lint:lectionary-psalms, wired into CI aslectionary_psalms_lint, with the convention table, its sources and the Hebrew→Vulgate mapping documented injsondata/sourcedata/rite/roman/lectionary/README.md.Three properties are deliberate, each closing a way the check could have reported an untruth:
nl.jsonheld Latin, annl-only matcher found one citation and passed. It now reports a Latin citation in a Dutch file as the defect it is.Psis a prefix ofPsalm,PsaumeandPsalmo;Psalmis a prefix ofPsalmo. PCRE alternation is leftmost-first, so a naive pattern readsPsalmo 71asPsalmand calls Latin Dutch.Psalmusis recognised as known-but-never-valid — it is the correct Latin nominative and the Nova Vulgata printsPSALMUS 139 (138), so its reintroduction is likely rather than exotic. Four citations spelled that way had been invisible.;-joined continuation references are validated too — 20 of them — since that is exactly the shape that produced the Easter Vigil defect above.Each has a self-test that was verified to fail when its rule is relaxed, not merely to exist.
Verification

Fixing them would have put non-psalm fields in this diff.Salmo 147 (147)is a redundant gloss the current rule demands; CEI prints a bareSal 147. The cleaner rule is "gloss iff the two numbers differ", which subsumes the aligned ranges — a change to lint and data together, so not made here.hrremains verified only by corpus-internal consistency; the Croatian conference's sites were unreachable.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
