    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Lays out a run of Sundays from a start date: each Sunday's name, season, color, lectionary year and appointed readings from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer lectionary, the seasons the run crosses, feasts that fall on those Sundays, and every book read on three or more consecutive Sundays, with the longest such run named as a possible series spine. Rule-based, no generated text.

    • The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Returns the appointed Bible readings (first reading, psalm, second reading, gospel, with the alternatives) for a Sunday or major feast from the three-year Sunday lectionary of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, which is public domain. Give a date (a weekday without its own lessons moves to the next Sunday) or an occasion such as "advent-1", "proper-23", "easter-day" or "christmas-day" with a year of A, B or C. With include_text, adds the passage text from the World English Bible or King James Version, both public domain. Citations only, never another translation.

    • The description's first verb is "return": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Returns where a date falls in the Western church year: the season (Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, or the season after Pentecost, also called Ordinary Time), the week of the season, the day's observance and liturgical color, the church year and its lectionary year (A, B or C), and that year's Western Easter and Orthodox Pascha.

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Lists the dated feasts, fasts and holy days in a window: Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, Easter, Ascension, Pentecost, Trinity, Christ the King, Advent, Christmas, the Epiphany, the feasts of our Lord, apostles and evangelists, with each day's color. Applies the 1979 Book of Common Prayer rules that move a feast off a Sunday or out of Holy Week and Easter Week. Optionally includes Orthodox Pascha, Julian-calendar Christmas and Reformation Day.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
