Restore the Greek Holy Friday Vespers Epistle - #254

goarch.org and antiochian.org list 1 Cor 5:6-8 and Matt 27:62-66 under Holy Friday, but those are the Lamentations readings -- Matins of Holy Saturday, sung on Friday evening -- which the app already carries as Holy Saturday's Matins, as oca.org does. In July a greek row was added from that Friday listing, putting 1 Cor 5:6-8 in the Vespers Epistle slot. Greek Vespers on Holy Friday reads 1 Cor 1:18-2:2 like Slavic (johnsanidopoulos.com's Holy Friday readings; Holy Cross, Pittsburgh's service list), so remove that row and its pericope. Both comparisons now accept Holy Saturday's Matins readings on Holy Friday: goa_verse_audit.py (99.0% -> 99.1%, every Holy Friday 2018-2027 matching) and the antiochian.org characterization, whose golden file is unchanged. The docs and the boundary-table comment say why, and greek-commons.md records the July entry as reverted. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Stacked on #253 (it updates that PR's audit script), so merge #253 first.
The Holy Friday question, resolved
Both goarch.org and antiochian.org list 1 Corinthians 5:6-8 and Matthew 27:62-66 under Holy Friday. Those are the readings of the Lamentations: Matins of Holy Saturday, sung by anticipation on Friday evening.
The app already carries them on Holy Saturday as Matins: Ezekiel 37:1-14, then 1 Corinthians 5:6-8 with Galatians 3:13-14, then Matthew 27:62-66. oca.org lists the same three on Holy Saturday, so the Lamentations don't need modelling as a new service.
The actual bug was a
greekrow added in July from that Friday listing. It put 1 Corinthians 5:6-8 into the Vespers Epistle slot. Greek Vespers on Holy Friday reads 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:2 and the composite Gospel, the same as Slavic. Two Greek sources print exactly that:Changes
