Where this stands
civilytics is the house R package behind every Civilytics chart, table, and report —
ggplot2 themes, brand palettes, logo composition, and Quarto templates, plus the
data-wrangling helpers the analysis work leans on. It is at version 0.3.1 and already
depended on by live projects, so changes here surface in reports that are published.
Project tracking went in today. Five workstreams now divide the package by how it actually goes stale rather than by directory: themes and palettes, logo and branded output, Quarto templates, analysis helpers, and packaging. Documentation debt is caught automatically — if code moves and its roxygen pages do not, an issue gets filed.
Three things are open. A logo defect (#20) drops patchwork panels and clips captions,
which is the one that bites users. The flextable styling helper (#21) ships Bootstrap's
palette as its default instead of the brand's, so tables built with the defaults are
quietly off-brand. The third (#22) is forge housekeeping: the kodor/* labels are
defined twice, at repo and org scope, which makes filtering by name unreliable.
Nothing is blocked. CI last passed on 2c7c9a6; today's scaffold commit is still
local and unpushed, so nothing has run against it yet. The next substantive work
is #20.
Ready to work on next
- #20 civilytics_logo(): drops patchwork panels, clips captions, and silently rescales fonts ·
ws/logo— nothing is blocking it; something is currently wrong - #21 style_flextable_civilytics() defaults to Bootstrap colors, not Civilytics brand ·
ws/logo— nothing is blocking it; owed work from an earlier change - #22 kodor/* labels are defined at both repo and org scope ·
ws/packaging— nothing is blocking it
