Description

Expected Behavior

There should be a section 'special_weekends' in market-hours-database.json file for any special sessions on weekends
similar to earlyCloses

Actual Behavior

market-hours-database.json does not provide an option to add special trading sessions on weekends. We can add timings for saturdays/sundays but that will run it on all weekends.

Research direction

Start with market-hours-database.json and compare the requested special_weekends section with the existing earlyCloses structure. Trace how weekend timings are read and determine how an entry can apply only to specified special sessions; done means the database supports those sessions without affecting all Saturdays or Sundays.
