Owner ruling R1. Combining Census Total across governments counts
intergovernmental transfers twice, and these results land in Tableau where a
warning would be invisible -- so this is a hard error whose message names the
fix and the reason.
cog_find_peers selects peers from canonical_fips_xwalk by same-type,
same-state, and population-range (ratio or absolute) criteria,
ordered by |log(pop_ratio)| ascending.
cog_peer_compare accepts the find_peers result (or a plain character
vector of govids), pulls spending for target + peers via cog_spending,
and appends summary rows (summary_p25/p50/p75) so the whole result
can be faceted by `role` in a single ggplot call. Summary rows honor
per_capita + adjust_to_year by picking the right value column.
target_rank reports the target's rank among target+peers at max(years).
Provenance is rewritten with verb = cog_peer_compare and peer_count.
Also: globalVariables('.data') in zzz.R to silence R CMD check on
tidy-eval pronouns.
