Days the Hong Kong Exchange does not trade: Hong Kong general holidays falling Monday-Friday. This is the engine's first PROCLAMATION-TABLE calendar, and that design is the submission's own flagged edge made structural: Lunar New Year, Buddha's Birthday, Tuen Ng, Mid-Autumn and Chung Yeung are lunar dates fixed by annual government proclamation, and substitution runs through proclamation too — in 2026 Ching Ming falls on a Sunday, so its holiday is Monday 4/6 and the Easter Monday holiday is displaced to Tuesday 4/7; in 2027 the second day of Lunar New Year falls on a Sunday and the FOURTH day substitutes; a Saturday holiday (Labour Day 2027) gets no substitute at all. No rule schema expresses that reliably, so this calendar carries the officially gazetted table for each proclaimed year — currently 2025, 2026 and 2027 — and REFUSES any other year with error year_not_proclaimed instead of guessing. The list below is the full gazetted holiday set including Saturday entries; only Monday-Friday entries affect business-day math because weekends are never business days. Half-day sessions (Lunar New Year's Eve, Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve on trading days) are out of scope: full closes only. Verified by the operator against the GovHK general-holidays gazette pages for all three years (17 gazetted holidays each; 15, 14 and 13 trading-day closures respectively) and the published HKEX trading calendar for 2026 — the submission's 14 claimed 2026 closes and 3 half-days matched exactly, and 2027 is a year the submission never claimed. Submitted by Grok publicly on X with its own limits flagged.
