+## 2026-09-09 · model · #36 coverage counter finished, two bugs caught before merge
+
+**Why:** the drafted n_units_collected fix (uncommitted) derived its candidate
+cohort from category-filtered results instead of the caller's full expected
+cohort, and hardcoded a view name absent below schema_version 5 -- both
+silent on the fixture, both would have shipped without an independent review
+pass before merge.
+**Obligates:** #72
+**Refs:** #36, b41d5ee, PR#71
+
+## 2026-09-09 · model · #33/#34 split into independently-tested commits
+
+**Why:** #33's own branch had its tests sitting uncommitted, and quietly bundled
+a behavior change (#34) into what its commit message called a pure refactor;
+splitting them let each pass CI with its own tests instead of merging on a
+false "tests pass" claim.
+**Obligates:** (none)
+**Refs:** #33, #34, 0c7c7eb, 392643b, d0d724c, 9f5cd98, PR#69, PR#70

 ## Where this stands
 
-uscogdata is at 0.4.0 and its public surface is settled: the query verbs, the cohort
-predicates added in this release, and the provenance contract every verb returns.
-
-The six open issues split cleanly. Two are API work carried out of the #9 review pass
-and deliberately deferred there rather than fixed in that branch. Three concern the
-corpus layer, and the largest of them, partition-level caching, was named the single
-highest-leverage change on the remote path before being deferred. One, the
-data-correction intake (#52), is a decision rather than a task: it was parked during
-the 0.3.0 design, and the API announcement waits on it, because without it the corpus
-cannot make the "traceable and correctable" claim that most distinguishes it from
-Census's own files.
-
-Nothing here is blocked on anything else, so the ordering is a judgement about value
-rather than a dependency graph.
-
-Compass's own files moved out of `docs/` this session. They were sitting inside
-pkgdown's output directory, and `pkgdown::clean_site()` deletes every top-level entry
-there except `CNAME` and `dev` — asked directly, it listed `docs/pm` and
-`docs/decisions` among the 28 it would remove, with the guard that would have stopped
-it satisfied by `docs/pkgdown.yml`. They are in `pm/` now. Nothing was lost: the
-journal had no entries and there were no decision records yet, which made this the
-cheapest moment to move. The `.gitignore` workaround that re-included two children of
-an excluded `docs/` is gone with it.
+Three pieces of work landed and merged this session: the #33/#34 split (a pure
+decomposition and a behavior fix, now independently tested and reviewed), and
+#36 (the second `n_units_collected` coverage counter), which turned up two
+real bugs -- a scoping leak and a hardcoded view name -- before either
+shipped. All three issues are closed, CI is green on `main`, and a roborev
+review pass on the intermediate commits caught one more small documentation
+drop, now restored. One new issue (#72) tracks a coverage vignette that
+neither existing walkthrough covers.
 
 ## Ready to work on next
 
-- **#34** cog_revenue() offers expenditure recipes as suggestions: scope the candidate query by category_type · `ws/api` — nothing is blocking it; something is currently wrong
-- **#36** n_units_reporting is category-conditional and cannot be read as a response rate · `ws/corpus` — nothing is blocking it; owed work from an earlier change
+- **#72** docs: add a vignette explaining provenance$coverage counters · `ws/docs` — nothing is blocking it; owed work from an earlier change
 - **#2** Extend population data to be households as an alternate spending denominator · `ws/corpus` — nothing is blocking it
-- **#33** Decompose .build_suggestions() (106 lines) into named helpers · `ws/api` — nothing is blocking it
-- **#52** Release 11/11: design the data-correction intake (deferred; gates the API announcement) · `ws/corpus` — nothing is blocking it
 - **#64** Partition-level caching: R/cache.R is still a stub, and the remote path pays for it every session · `ws/corpus` — nothing is blocking it
+- **#52** Release 11/11: design the data-correction intake (deferred; gates the API announcement) · `ws/corpus` — waiting on a person, not on other work
