Description
Church Slavonic has the assigned ISO 639 code 'cu'.
Hyphenation patterns for Church Slavonic exist and are open source. They can be downloaded from here. The documentation is here.
Church Slavonic hyphenation is available in TeX (LuaTeX and XeTeX) via the hyph-utf8 package.
One complication is that typically _ (underscore) rather than - (hyphen) is used as the hyphenation character in Church Slavonic texts. I don't see from the Typst documentation if one is allowed to set the hyphenation character. However, the more important issue is loading the hyphenation patterns.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository's existing language-pattern entries and compare them with hyph-cu.tex from the linked cu-tex project. Check how hyph-utf8 provides Church Slavonic patterns for LuaTeX and XeTeX, then verify that the cu patterns load correctly and determine whether the underscore hyphenation character is supported or needs separate handling.
