funkpower be81c682cb horologion was the wrong book
The Horologion is the Book of Hours: the fixed portions of the services
themselves. This shows the day's commemorations, its fast and its season,
which is a Menologion. Naming it for a book whose contents it does not carry
was a real error and worth the churn to correct.

typikon already uses the word internally, for menologion.py and the data file
it loads. That is not a collision: typikon provides a menologion, this
displays one.

Renamed throughout, not just the repo: the two scripts, the QML component and
its three qmldir modules, MENOLOGION_COLORS, ~/.config/menologion/colors.json,
the eww widgets and scss variables, the waybar class. Verified standalone and
embedded in a foreign shell, and the smoke suite still passes.

Also drops the em dashes from the prose.

# menologion
Desktop front ends for [`typikon`](https://git.pumpin.online/funkpower/typikon).
The Orthodox liturgical day on your desktop, in Hyprland (Quickshell), waybar
or eww.
Everything is computed locally by `typikon`, so none of this touches the
network, and the widget re-reads only when the date rolls over. The answer
changes at midnight and at no other moment.

## Install
`typikon` first, since all three front ends shell out to it:
```console
$ pipx install git+https://git.pumpin.online/funkpower/typikon
$ typikon --set-default rocor # or antiochian, oca, greece, ...
```
Then:
```console
$ git clone https://git.pumpin.online/funkpower/menologion
$ cd menologion && ./bin/menologion-install
```
That links rather than copies, so `git pull` updates what you are running. Pass
`quickshell`, `waybar`, `eww` or `bin` to do just one.
## Quickshell
A desktop widget for Hyprland and anything else Quickshell runs on.
```console
$ quickshell -p ~/.config/quickshell/menologion/shell.qml
```
It sits on the background layer, so it behaves like part of the wallpaper:
always under your windows, never stealing a click.
To drop it into a shell you already have, link this directory in beside your
own and import it by path:
```qml
import "menologion/modules"
Menologion {}
```
The imports inside are relative, so the widget always resolves its own
`Config` and `Theme` rather than silently binding to yours and inheriting
whatever they happen to mean.
Three pieces, each usable on its own:
| | |
|---|---|
| `services/Typikon.qml` | a singleton wrapping the CLI; bind to it from anything |
| `services/Theme.qml` | colours, from JSON, with defaults for every key |
| `modules/Menologion.qml` | the widget |
Set a jurisdiction per-widget if you want one different from your default:
```qml
import "menologion/services" // for Typikon
Menologion {
Component.onCompleted: Typikon.jurisdiction = "moscow"
}
```
`Typikon.forDate` takes an ISO date and shows a different day, which is how
you look at what Great Week will ask of you before it arrives.
### Colours
`Theme.qml` reads `~/.config/menologion/colors.json`, or whatever
`MENOLOGION_COLORS` points at, and watches it for changes. Every key has a
default, so the widget is legible with no file at all. See
`quickshell/colors.example.json`, the flat shape most theme generators
already emit.
## waybar
```jsonc
"custom/typikon": {
"exec": "menologion-waybar",
"return-type": "json",
"interval": 1800,
"on-click": "typikon --days 7"
}
```
The module's CSS class is the fast level (`.xerophagy`, `.wine_oil`, `.fish`), so a day's discipline reads off the colour without reading the text.
`.obligatory` is added only where a particular law actually binds, which under
the Typikon is never: the Orthodox Church keeps the fast as tradition, not as
precept. `waybar/style.css` has a starting palette.
Change what the text says with `--format`:
```console
$ menologion-waybar --format '{emoji} {fastLabel}'
$ menologion-waybar -j moscow --format '{emoji} {churchDate}'
```
## eww
```lisp
(include "menologion/menologion.yuck")
```
Then `(menologion)` for the full panel or `(menologion-bar)` for one line.
`menologion.scss` carries the styling; its colours are `!default` variables, so
set your own before the `@import`.
## What it shows
The feast or the day's principal commemoration, the fast and why, the season,
the week ahead, and Pascha.
**The church date is always in the corner.** On the new calendar it echoes the
wall calendar; on the old it is the answer you came for. Below, ROCOR on 7
January, which is 25 December, and the Nativity.
![The Nativity on the old calendar](docs/old-calendar.png)
**Forefeasts, afterfeasts and leave-takings** get their own quiet line rather
than crowding out the commemoration that makes the day itself. They repeat for
days at a time, and a widget that leads with "Post-festive Day of the
Exaltation" for a week has told you nothing.
**The legend is built from the week in view**, not hardcoded, because the
levels a tradition uses are its own: six under the Typikon, three under
Ruthenian particular law, and the words for them differ too. Great Week uses
nearly all of them:
