jared 7522b48a08 feat: report suppressed component dollars in the signpost message (#9)
.inform_suggestions() and cog_explain() now render suppressed_amount /
suppressed_years / suppressed_codes as a continuation line on each
suggestion bullet whenever suppressed_amount > 0 (an empty_year fire can
carry them too, so this keys off the amount, not trigger). Also renames
the cli header from "Coverage gap detected" to "Incomplete coverage" --
a partial-coverage fire is not a gap, the year has rows, they're just
short.

jared 22c2478634 fix(balances): validate the full signature, surface caveats in cog_explain, memoise coverage windows (#25)
Final-review findings F-1, F-2, F-6, F-8 (plus the F-9 @return reword,
which shares R/balances.R).

F-2: .validate_balance_inputs() checked 2 of cog_balances()' 7 arguments.
years = integer(0) leaked a raw DuckDB 'Parser Error ... AND year IN ()'
with the generated SQL echoed back; govid = character(0) and a non-character
category returned 0 rows with no error at all; recipe = c("a","b") threw
'the condition has length > 1' from inside .validate_recipe_id(). Replaced
with a call to the money verbs' own .validate_verb_inputs() (R/spending.R),
which validates the exact superset needed. Deleted the local copy rather
than extending it -- two validators is how they drift. Placed AFTER
.coerce_govid_input(), because .validate_verb_inputs() asserts
is.character(govid) and a data-frame govid is not unwrapped before that.
This is helper reuse of the same kind as .build_verb_sql()/.attach_per_capita();
the verb still does NOT route through .verb_spendrev().

F-1: falls out of F-2 for free -- the recipe/category mutual-exclusivity
guard lives inside .validate_verb_inputs(). Previously recipe silently
discarded category AND overwrote provenance$category with the recipe label,
so a caller asking for Fund Balances got X40/Z77 insurance-trust holdings
with no trace of the dropped filter.

F-6: cog_explain() rendered every provenance caveat block except
balance_caveats. Since .emit_balance_caveats() fires at most once per
session -- and is routinely consumed by a suppressMessages() call or an
unread knitr chunk -- cog_explain() is the only surface left for a caller
who deliberately audits the result. Added a 'Holdings caveats' section
guarded on !is.null(prov$balance_caveats). Also relabels the cosmetic
'Concept: NA' line on balance results as 'not applicable (holdings are a
stock, not a flow)'.

F-8: the coverage-window query has no govid and no year predicate -- its
answer depends only on the mounted corpus -- yet it scanned all of
balance_long on every call (35% of verb runtime on the fixture, and a
per-request throughput ceiling for cog-api#26). Memoised in
.uscogdata_env$balance_coverage_windows, invalidated by cog_close(), the
same pattern as .uscogdata_env$manifest.

jared 4b23dbd9f4 feat: revenue_concept = c("general", "total") off the crosswalk (#12)
R-CMD-check / check (push) Successful in 3m47s
R-CMD-check / check (pull_request) Successful in 3m27s
Closes the last blocked test in the suite. Owner ruled both halves of the
open question yes on 2026-07-30.

`cog_revenue()` gains `revenue_concept`, mirroring `expenditure_concept`,
with Census's two published concepts defined as crosswalk
`revenue_subtype` sets rather than item-code prefixes:

  general = own_source + federal + state + local_aid   (the default)
  total   = general + utility + liquor_store + insurance_trust

The manual defines the first by subtracting the other three from the
second (4.3), so both are computable only once all four families are
named -- which cog_pipeline#79 does. Insurance trust now includes the
employee-retirement X codes (X01/X02/X05/X08) alongside the Y codes.

- inst/sql: revenue_long / revenue_long_harmonized carry EVERY revenue
  subtype; the concept narrows in R via the existing subtype_scope
  machinery, exactly as expenditure_concept narrows spending_long.
- cog_explain() now prints each verb's OWN concept. It previously
  printed `expenditure_concept` unconditionally, so a cog_revenue()
  caller was told "Concept: primary" -- a spending concept their result
  has nothing to do with.
- Fixture regenerated at pipeline_commit aadb46b (330 crosswalk rows).

Corrected two stale expectations in the blocked test while un-skipping
it. It asserted X01+X04+X05+X08 and omitted X02, which applies to state
governments and is nonzero for Wisconsin; X04 is an exhibit code for an
INTRAgovernmental transfer that Census's own "Total Emp Ret Rev"
excludes. Verified against that Census field: the right set is
X01+X02+X05+X08 = $2,283,883k, exactly. And its expected `total` of
$33,377,093k predated the Y codes being classified -- complete Total
Revenue for WI FY2012 is $34,881,961k (general 31,338,293 + Y 1,259,785
+ X 2,283,883).

Behaviour change worth knowing: `general` is now STRICT Census General
Revenue, so utility and liquor store revenue leave the default. Measured
on the fixture that is 15.9% of what cog_revenue() returned for cities,
vs 1.2% for states and 1.7% for counties.

Suite: 716 pass / 0 fail / 0 skip -- the first time this package has had
no skipped tests.

Closes #12

jared d95c9032c5 feat: coverage argument + always-on reporting-coverage metadata (#13)
R-CMD-check / check (pull_request) Successful in 3m13s
R-CMD-check / check (push) Successful in 3m18s
The Census of Governments is a complete census only in years ending in 2 and
7. Every other year is a sample, and the sample varies enormously. Neither
cog_geographic_rollup() nor cog_peer_compare()/cog_find_peers() had any
concept of "the universe": each summed or labelled whichever govids happened
to have rows and returned that with nothing distinguishing "every government
reported" from "a fifth of them did".

On the bundled fixture, Wisconsin's 608-city universe rolls up 597
governments in FY2012 and 112 in FY2019. The peer side is worse exposure, not
better: a Madison-scale cohort looks stable because Madison is large, while
governments matched to a small target sit in exactly the population band the
sample cycle hits hardest. Chilton's 15-peer cohort reports 15 of 15 in
FY2012 and 3 of 15 in FY2019.

Implements the owner's settled design: coverage = c("all", "census",
"consistent") on all three verbs, defaulting to "all" so nothing currently
calling them changes, PLUS always-on provenance$coverage carrying per-year
n_units_reporting / n_units_expected / is_census_year and
provenance$coverage_mode. cog_explain() prints a "Reporting coverage"
section. The default mode can no longer mislead silently, which is the point
-- using these verbs correctly must not require knowing the survey calendar.

Decisions worth stating:

  - n_units_expected is the universe the CALLER named, not the national one.
    That is what makes the ratio mean something: "597 of the 608 Wisconsin
    cities you asked about". For peers it is the cohort size, counted over
    peer rows only -- including the target would inflate every count by one
    and make a cohort that has entirely stopped reporting look non-empty.

  - The coverage table is built from the REQUESTED years, not the years
    present in the result, so a year in which nothing reported still appears
    with n_units_reporting = 0. A year that vanishes silently is precisely
    the disclosure failure at issue.

  - "census" filters years BEFORE the query, and aborts when the range holds
    no census year rather than returning an empty result for a query the
    caller believes they made.

  - "consistent" exempts the peer-comparison target: it is the subject of the
    comparison, not a member of the cohort being balanced, and dropping it
    would leave nothing to compare. The summary_* quantiles are computed
    AFTER the filter so they describe the cohort actually returned.

  - is_census_year is documented as a statement about the survey CALENDAR,
    never a claim of completeness -- FY1967 is a census year in which only 97
    of Wisconsin's 608 cities report (DoD 3). n_units_reporting is the number
    that tells the truth.

On cog_find_peers(), where there is no year range, coverage governs the
cohort VINTAGE: "census" snaps to the most recent census year with an
observed population, so a cohort is not built from a sample year in which
most of the candidate universe is absent. "consistent" is a comparison-time
concept and selects like "all" there, carried on the result for
cog_peer_compare().

One fix to the committed test, which was internally inconsistent. It pinned
n_units_reporting == 597 for FY2012 AND asserted that number equals a raw
cross-check that answers 595. Both numbers are right for different questions:
VERNON VILLAGE and WAUKESHA VILLAGE carry type = 3 in `long` (their
as-of-year identity, as townships) while the xwalk lists them as govs_type =
2 (their present identity, as villages) -- schema v6 made the long table's
geography present-harmonized but `type` still reads as-of-year. The rollup
counts against the requested govid set, so 597 answers "how many of the
governments I asked about reported". The cross-check now scopes to that same
universe instead of to long.type/long.fips_state; it still reads raw parquet
rather than going through the verb under test.

Suite: 670 pass / 0 fail / 2 skip (was 658/0/3). rcmdcheck clean.
The two remaining skips are #11 and #12.

jared af85a23ea7 feat: complete = TRUE fills absent cells with their meaning (#18)
R-CMD-check / check (push) Successful in 3m7s
R-CMD-check / check (pull_request) Successful in 3m9s
Sparsification (cog_pipeline#64, SB194) stopped the corpus storing the wide
era's explicit zeros, which made absence ambiguous:

  <= FY2011  dense_source   absent => Census published $0
  >= FY2012  sparse_source  absent => not reported, unknown

A wide-era query whose cells were all $0 had begun returning nothing at all,
with no way to get them back -- strictly less than the reader exposed before,
which is why #64 filed this follow-on.

complete = TRUE fills the requested grid from `code_set` and stamps every row
with value_source: "reported", "census_zero" (amt 0), or "not_reported"
(amt NA). The NA is the point. Filling a modern absence with 0 would invent
data, which is exactly the error the representation contract exists to
prevent -- and it makes this strictly MORE informative than the
pre-sparsification corpus, which could not tell a published zero from an
unreported cell either.

Measured on the fixture, Broward County: FY2011 returns 28 reported + 16
census_zero; FY2019 returns 30 reported + 14 not_reported. The five
categories that walkthrough finding F-006 read as "retired at FY2012" now
report themselves correctly as census_zero before and not_reported after.

Scoping decisions, each of which would invent rows if taken loosely:

  - The grid is per government TYPE (code_set.type). Filling against the
    union of all types would give a county cells like "state IG transfer to
    school districts", indistinguishable from real census zeros.
  - NOT is_aggregate, mirroring spending_long/revenue_long. Without it the
    grid offers cells those views never return, so each would fill as a
    phantom $0.
  - Filling happens BEFORE per_capita and inflation, so a census_zero stays
    0 through both and a not_reported stays NA rather than becoming 0.

Two new views (36-representation, 37-code_set) are gated on the manifest
LISTING those tables, not on schema_version. Sparsification did not bump the
version -- the fixture this package shipped against until 2026-07-30 was
already v6 and carried neither table -- so a version gate would register a
view over a missing file and fail at CREATE VIEW time on exactly the corpora
the check exists to tolerate. with_corpus_missing_representation() models
that corpus and asserts the abort.

Refused where the fill would be guesswork, both classed
uscogdata_complete_unsupported: a recipe defines its own component codes and
never touches summary_categories; the intergovernmental leg deliberately
keeps aggregate rows (inst/sql/24-ig_long.sql) so its cells are not the ones
code_set describes.

Expected cell sets in the tests are computed from the corpus parquet
directly, never through the verb -- verifying what a filter does through
that same filter proves nothing.

Closes DoD 2, 3 and 4 of #18. DoD 5 (the cog-api follow-on) is filed
separately.

Suite: 658 pass / 0 fail / 3 skip (was 629/0/3). rcmdcheck clean.

jared 1d553a788f fix: surface ALL-scoped series breaks in provenance (#19)
R-CMD-check / check (push) Successful in 3m1s
R-CMD-check / check (pull_request) Successful in 3m1s
.build_series_break_refs() matches `fin_code IN (<codes in the result>)`.
No row's item_code is ever the literal "ALL", so the four corpus-wide
entries could never match and reached no user:

  SB085  1977  dollar precision across the 1976/1977 boundary
  SB087  2002  imputation exclusion FY2002-2006
  SB194  2012  dense -> sparse representation change
  SB086  2017  government id scheme change

SB194 is why this matters now. cog_pipeline#64 DoD 4 was "series_breaks.csv
carries an ALL @ 2012 entry describing the representation change, SO
cog_explain() surfaces it". The entry shipped; the reader dropped it. A
query spanning FY2011 -> FY2012 crosses the boundary where an absent cell
stops meaning "Census published $0" and starts meaning "not reported", and
nothing said so.

Provenance gains `corpus_break_refs`, built by .build_corpus_break_refs()
on the break_year window alone -- which codes a result happens to contain
is irrelevant to a caveat about the corpus. A separate field rather than
more entries in series_break_refs, because an ALL caveat qualifies the
whole result and folding the two together invites reading it as a caveat
about one series; .build_series_break_refs() now excludes 'ALL' explicitly
so the two stay disjoint by construction. cog_explain() prints them under
their own "Corpus-wide caveats" heading, and cog-api passes provenance
through verbatim, so the field reaches the API with no change there.

On the year rule: all four entries are BOUNDARY caveats -- their own
join_advice speaks of crossing 1976/1977, of FY2002-2006, of absence not
being comparable across FY2012, of pre- vs post-2017 ids -- so the same
`break_year BETWEEN min(years) AND max(years)` rule the code-specific path
uses is the right one, and matches the issue's DoD 1. The issue's DoD 3
also asks that a FY2011 query surface SB085; that cannot hold under DoD 1
and does not hold under any reading of SB085's text, whose boundary is
1976/1977. Tested with a range that actually spans it, and flagged on the
issue.

Stacked on fix/regen-fixture-corpus-18: SB194 does not exist in main's
bundled fixture, which predates the break being catalogued.

Suite: 606 pass / 0 fail / 6 skip (was 594/0/6).
cog-api 357 / 0 / 8, unchanged.

jared a4eb80d823 feat: cog_explain() prints the expenditure concept and direct-suppressed flag (I1)
.print_provenance() printed "Basis:" but nothing about Direct vs Total
-- the most consequential switch this branch adds to cog_spending() was
invisible in the package's designated "what am I looking at" verb. Add
a "Concept: direct|total (<note>)" line next to Basis, and surface a
cli warning when provenance$expenditure_concept_direct_suppressed is
TRUE (see the C1 fix), so the suppressed-Direct case is visible in the
human-readable explain output, not just in the structured provenance.

jared 4de915b557 feat: cog_recipes + recipe= + signposting suggestions
Adds cog_recipes() to list the curated harmonization_recipes catalog (24
recipes / schema_version >= 5), and a recipe= argument on cog_spending()/
cog_revenue() that runs a recipe's generic multi-code join instead of the
category view: SUM(amt * weight) across whichever component codes are
present for a (year, canonical_govid), scoped by gov_type_scope. The join
deliberately does not filter is_aggregate -- the wide era (<= 2011) exposes
these split families (corrections 04+05, IG *89/*47, U4- rents, etc.) ONLY
as aggregate rows, with leaf codes first appearing in 2012, so excluding
aggregates would zero out the wide-era half of every recipe. This is safe
by corpus construction: wide-era rows are aggregate-only, modern rows are
leaf-only, and every component is year-scoped, so there is no
double-counting. recipe= is mutually exclusive with category=; the result's
subtype column reads "recipe" and category reads the recipe's label.

Adds recipe-component-driven signposting: when a basis="harmonized" +
category query comes back with zero rows in a requested year, and a
harmonization recipe covering that category would actually produce rows
for this government in that year (via the same join .run_recipe() uses),
the recipe is surfaced in provenance$suggestions plus one
cli::cli_inform() message. This is deliberately keyed off recipe
components rather than harmonization_map's suggested_recipe_id column
(which is empty on every live row -- the wide era's split families are
NA-by-construction via aggregate exclusion, not an NA ruling to hang a
suggestion off of).

Also populates the previously-always-empty provenance$series_break_refs
(schema v5 only: series_breaks_pq rows whose fin_code is among the
observed codes and whose break_year falls in the requested span), and
extends cog_explain() with Basis/Harmonization/Recipe/Suggestions/Series
breaks sections.

jared 919548685b polish(per-year-pop): expand popyear in cog_explain + propagate pop_range
R-CMD-check / check (push) Failing after 1m30s
Final-review followups:

1. cog_explain rendered the popyear range as raw 2-digit values
   ("popyear range: 19-20"), which a user could read as the years 19-20.
   Added .expand_popyear() helper to format as 4-digit calendar years
   (2019-2020). Pivot at 70 to handle pre-2000 vintages if the corpus
   ever extends backward.

2. cog_peer_compare provenance was missing pop_range and is_ratio,
   omitted from the spec-required reproducibility metadata.
   cog_find_peers now stamps both as tibble attributes; cog_peer_compare
   reads them through to provenance$pop_range and provenance$is_ratio.

Test coverage extended: explain test asserts the 4-digit format and
rejects the old 2-digit form; peer-compare test asserts pop_range +
is_ratio propagate end-to-end.

326 PASS / 0 FAIL.

jared c682e6547d feat: cog_spending + cog_revenue + cog_explain
Three core query verbs over the spending_annotated / revenue_annotated
DuckDB views. Each verb accepts vector govid, vector years, optional
category filter, per_capita flag, and adjust_to_year for CPI-U
real-dollar conversion (bundled index).

Amounts are returned in full USD (SUM(amt) * 1000) so callers can
freely rescale to millions/billions. The $1,000s -> $USD conversion
is recorded in provenance$transformations$units_conversion.

Every result carries an attr(., "provenance") list matching
inst/schemas/provenance-v1.json. cog_explain() prints the structured
form via cli or returns the raw list for MCP/JSON consumers.

Also: .fetch_or_cache_manifest() now handles local fixture paths so
tests can point USCOGDATA_FIXTURE_URL at the pipeline publish_cache/
without a working HTTP server.

Tests: 80 pass / 0 fail. devtools::check() 0E/0W/2N (both notes
pre-existing / environmental).
