Option 1
The Hours Rail — docked
The full planetary day (sunrise → sunrise) docks as a slim always-present rail beside the reading. Everything from the day-view calendar carries over at postage-stamp scale — ruled hour hairlines with glyphs in the gutter and the changeover time on each line (Saturn strongest), transit bars, sunrise & sunset icons, the charcoal now — and hovering a bar raises the same glance card. The Day list keeps its ruled prose form in the column.
Option 2
The Hours as “The Day” section
The mini grid replaces the flat event list — “The Day” section becomes the calendar itself, inline in the single reading column. The most compact treatment: one narrative column, nothing docked, and all transit detail lives in the hover card. Framed as a quiet figure between Lunar and the end of the reading.
Option 3
The Hours Band — sky-strip
The 24 unequal hours run horizontally under the tabs — an edge-to-edge strip that pans left–right within the day, loading centered on now. Transits sit as a lane above the hours; sunrise and sunset sit as small icons in the bar itself (hover for the asc / desc note); now reads as a charcoal line with its time centered beneath. The ruled event list keeps the full descriptions, with hover cards for detail.

Gaps — mapped vs. shown
How the three day-content variations measure against the Round 4 ORCA Day object. Forward gaps are Day attributes the map specifies but none of the variations surface yet; reverse gaps were shown here first and have been folded back into the ORCA Day card.
Forward gaps — specified, not shown 1
Key-day flag meta
Solstice / eclipse / station / lunation marker. Nothing distinguishes an astronomically special day from an ordinary one in any variation.

Auspice 7-day trend strip meta
The “Auspiciousness across the month” chart plots today against the surrounding days — the seven-day trend reads directly from it.
Satisfied by · the Auspiciousness section
Position in week / month / cycle meta
The same month chart situates the day within the wider span — its place across the week and month is legible at a glance.

Reverse gaps — shown, now mapped 5 → ORCA
Sunrise & sunset times core
Bound the planetary-hour day — sunrise = ascendant / dawn, sunset = descendant / dusk. The hours calendar depends on them, but ORCA Day never listed them.
Added to · ORCA Day → Core
Current-hour “now” pointer meta
The active planetary hour, highlighted within the day — a live “where are we now” state the map didn’t capture.
Added to · ORCA Day → Metadata
Hygromancy · Lunar Day core
The lunar-day number and its omen (e.g. Lunar Day 20 · “Destroy enemies & opponents”), surfaced in the Magic block.
Added to · ORCA Day → Core
Sphere & Sundry dignities core
Planetary dignities and magical-timing tags — Exalted Luna, Exalted Jupiter, “Mammoth · Saturn in ♒” — surfaced as chips.
Added to · ORCA Day → Core
Next-lunation reference meta
Waning / waxing toward the next new or full moon, with its date (“toward New Moon in Cancer · July 14”).

ORCA Day — checked against the view
The updated Round 4 ORCA Day card, audited against what these three variations render. ✓ green = surfaced in the day view; amber = specified but still missing. Items tagged day view are the reverse gaps this page fed back into the map.
