Removing ^vignettes$ was right; removing ^doc$ and ^Meta$ with it was
not. Those are devtools::build_vignettes() artefacts, not sources -- R CMD
build regenerates inst/doc/ from vignettes/ by itself, and shipping the
local copies earned a 'non-standard file/directory found at top level'
NOTE.
R CMD check --as-cran is now 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 notes.
Moves developer, testing and release instructions out of the README,
minus the fixture-stripping advice, which was wrong.
Explains that a GitHub PR closes itself as merged once the mirror syncs,
because the merge preserves the contributor's SHAs -- so a PR closing
without a visible Merge click reads as success rather than rejection.
Documents the cog-api dependency: its CI clones this package at
USCOGDATA_REF, defaulting to main with no pin, so anything merged here
reaches the API's next build. Includes the commands to run its suite
against a branch first.
.Rbuildignore excluded ^vignettes$, ^doc$ and ^Meta$, so an installed
uscogdata had no vignettes at all -- while the README instructed users to
run vignette("total-spending"), which failed for every one of them.
Both build offline: total-spending points USCOGDATA_URL at the bundled
fixture, population-denominators is eval = FALSE. Confirmed present in the
built tarball as both source and rendered inst/doc/.
The test also pins the fixture as never-excluded -- it is what lets
R CMD check run with no credentials on r-universe and GitHub Actions.
Seven TDD tasks. Records the two measured facts the design rests on: aggregate
IG rows carry no harmonized_code (so the IG leg must COALESCE item_code), and
aggregate IG codes are year-disjoint from their modern leaf components (so
skipping NOT is_aggregate cannot double-count). Baseline measured at PASS 467.
Plan lives under .superpowers/ because docs/ is the gitignored pkgdown output
dir; .Rbuildignore'd so it never ships in the package tarball.
R CMD build (run by rcmdcheck before R CMD check) rebuilds vignettes
from source regardless of --no-vignettes. Our vignette declared
%\VignetteEngine{knitr::knitr} which requires the 'markdown' package
that isn't in CI's dependency tree. Switch to %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown},
which uses the already-Suggests-listed 'rmarkdown' package and matches
the output: rmarkdown::html_vignette directive in the YAML header.
Also add ^\.gitea$ and ^CLAUDE\.md$ to .Rbuildignore so R CMD check
stops emitting the "hidden file" / "non-standard top-level file" notes.
Local rcmdcheck (mirroring CI's exact args) now reports
0 errors / 0 warnings / 0 notes.
The pdflatex notice in the build log is unrelated — R CMD build prints
"Not building PDF manual" and continues; with --no-manual it's silenced
entirely.
15-task TDD plan covering: gov_population_yearly view, .attach_per_capita
per-year join, pop_source column + multi-note concatenation, cog_find_peers
year arg, cog_peer_compare cohort_year, rollup unavailable-pop exclusion,
provenance updates, cog_explain rendering, vignette, cog_pipeline data
dictionary, and NEWS entry.
Also corrects spec to match existing rollup semantics (side-by-side, not
summed) and adds /plans to .Rbuildignore.
Design doc for switching cog_spending / cog_revenue / cog_geographic_rollup
per-capita calculations from a static ACS 2018-2022 population to per-year
F-33 population already present in long.population. Covers shifting peer
matching to a user-selectable cohort year (defaulting to most recent
observed year), type-4/5 NA policy, provenance updates, and a new vignette
enumerating denominator sources for future extensibility.
Specs live in /specs (added to .Rbuildignore) since docs/ is reserved for
pkgdown output.
Adds R/sysdata.rda with the annual-average CPIAUCSL index (1947-2026,
80 years, sourced from FRED) and an internal .inflate() helper that
converts nominal amounts between two years via the ratio of CPI values.
Bundling CPI in the package (rather than publishing a cpi_annual.parquet
in the corpus) matches the reader-specification intent: real-dollar
conversion is a verb-level option, not a corpus-level artifact, so the
target_year stays flexible at query time.
data-raw/cpi_annual.R carries the one-shot FRED refresh used to build
sysdata.rda. Re-run when the CPI series needs to roll forward.
Verified: CPI(2000)/CPI(2021) ≈ 0.635, matching the ~0.63 sanity
anchor in cog_explorer's existing inflation logic.
Tests: tests/testthat/test-adjust.R covers the known 2000→2021 ≈ 1.574x
anchor, vectorized from_year, error cases for out-of-range years, and
NA-amount preservation. 14 pass / 0 fail.
