Problem

The entire temporal cycle is anchored to Easter. A clean-room Computus implementation is the keystone of phase one of the resolver.

Acceptance criteria

  • Computus returns the Gregorian Easter date for any year via Meeus/Jones/Butcher
  • Implementation is pure with no external dependency
  • Unit tests cover a spread of known Easter dates across centuries
  • Edge years (earliest 22 Mar, latest 25 Apr) are asserted

Notes

Cross-checked against PHP easter_days() in the validation epic.
