- .detect_direct_suppressed() keys on (year, canonical_govid, category);
all-categories mode collapses category to one literal value, so the key
collides and the detector silently reports FALSE instead of "unknown".
Report NA there instead, and stop isTRUE() in .build_provenance() from
collapsing that NA back to FALSE. Schema widened to allow null.
- Refuse complete = TRUE + category = "All Categories": the completion grid
has no per-category cells left to fill once categories are collapsed,
so the prior silent 0-rows-filled result was never actually checked.
- cog_balances(category = "All Categories") returned zero rows with no
error. .validate_verb_inputs() gains allow_all_categories (default
FALSE); .verb_spendrev() passes TRUE, cog_balances() does not, so the
three verbs share one place to reject it instead of drifting again.
- Fix the false `subtype = "operations"` argument claim (no such argument
exists) in NEWS.md and an internal spending.R comment.
Adds three covering tests to test-all-categories.R for the three
behaviour changes above.
The @param category text on cog_spending()/cog_revenue() told users to
"Combine with subtype = ..." but neither verb has a subtype argument.
Replace with accurate guidance: filter the returned frame's
spend_subtype/revenue_subtype column.
Returns one summed row per (year, govid, subtype) across every
category in the requested concept's subtype scope, so a caller never
sums categories client-side and cannot sum the wrong scope.
Combining it with other category names is an error rather than a
silent partial sum.
Rewrites expenditure/revenue classification off item-code first-letter
prefixes and onto summary_categories membership (F-018: prefix Y spans
revenue, expenditure, and balance codes), and exposes
expenditure_concept = c("primary", "direct", "total") with primary as
the new default:
primary = operations + capital + assistance
direct = primary + interest + insurance_benefits (Census Direct)
total = direct + intergovernmental (M/L/Q via ig views)
- inst/sql: flow views (20-25) select by crosswalk membership;
summary_categories moves to 11- so it registers before them (DuckDB
binds view sources eagerly). The IG leg gains Q11/Q12/Q18 state
school-system payments (F-017).
- R: one subtype scope per verb call drives the verb SQL, the
harmonization exclusion count, and the complete = TRUE grid;
flow_prefixes survives only to scope recipe suggestions.
cog_geographic_rollup/cog_peer_compare accept primary|direct, still
refuse total, and now actually pass the concept through.
- Balance codes can never reach a spending or revenue result
(uscogdata#25), asserted at both view and verb level.
- Deletes the #11 skip; per the 2026-07-30 owner ruling the F-018 Y01
proof is asserted against the crosswalk, not the default
cog_revenue() call (which stays General Revenue pending #12).
Suite: 696 pass / 0 fail / 1 skip (#12, expected).
Closes#11
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.
C1: spending_long/spending_long_harmonized filter NOT is_aggregate but
ig_long deliberately doesn't (legacy IG lives on aggregate rows), so a
legacy aggregate-only family (e.g. Corrections pre-2012) can survive on
the IG leg while Direct is suppressed. expenditure_concept = "total"
then UNIONs an IG-only figure that reads as a plausible Total, and the
coverage-gap suggestion machinery -- fed the UNION'd result -- saw the
surviving IG row as coverage and stayed silent.
(a) .build_suggestions() is now fed a Direct-leg-only view of the
result (IG rows filtered out before the gap-years computation),
so the recipe hints fire for "total" exactly as they do for
"direct".
(b) Any row where IG has dollars but Direct has none for the same
(year, canonical_govid, category) is now flagged: the row's
`notes` name the recovering recipe (drawn from the Direct-leg
suggestions), and provenance gains an explicit
`expenditure_concept_direct_suppressed` boolean plus an appended
warning on `expenditure_concept_note` -- both cheap for a
downstream consumer (cog-api passes provenance through verbatim)
to test, rather than silently asserting Direct + IG when that
arithmetic didn't happen.
Measured before/after on AL state government, Corrections, 2011:
"total" already correctly returns the corpus's actual IG-only figure
($31,358,000, vs. true Direct of $521,651,000 via recipe =
"corrections_combined"), but before this fix it did so with 0
suggestions and an unqualified "Total = Direct + IG" note; after, it
fires 3 recipe hints and both the row notes and provenance say plainly
that Direct is unavailable through this basis.
C2: the 66 M/L summary_categories rows arrived via cog_pipeline PR #59
with no schema_version bump, so schema_version can't gate "total" --
a pre-#59 corpus can report any supported schema_version and still
have zero M/L category rows, in which case ig_annotated's LEFT JOIN
silently produces NA category/spend_subtype (0 rows for a specific
category, or one invisible NA-subtype group for category = NULL). New
.require_ig_categories() checks summary_categories directly and aborts
with class uscogdata_ig_categories_unsupported, naming PR #59 and
directing the user to a newer corpus.
Reconciles tests/testthat/test-views.R's v4-shaped-corpus test (whose
synthetic summary_categories carries only one E36 row) by asserting
the new guard fires against that same connection, rather than leaving
the two silently contradictory.
Nine review items on the expenditure_concept = direct|total feature:
- bool_and(is_aggregate) -> bool_or(is_aggregate) for aggregate_fallback:
bool_and silently misreported $5,740,775,000 of aggregate-sourced IG
dollars (AL state 2011) as aggregate_fallback = FALSE, because the dense
wide-era data puts a $0 leaf row in the same group as the real aggregate
row. bool_or is a no-op for Direct/Revenue (verified: 0 mismatched groups
across both tables) and correct for the IG leg.
- Added a year-disjointness invariant test for the four legacy
aggregate/leaf IG pairs (M47/M94, M89/M91-93, L47/L94, L89/L91-93),
scoped to the aggregate flag rather than bare code presence (M89/L89
continue past 2011 as independent, non-aggregate leaves).
- Extended the real-SQL-text/synthetic-parquet harness in test-views.R to
pin ig_long/ig_long_harmonized's predicates directly (aggregate rows
retained, NULL harmonized_code coalesced, L-- excluded), rather than
relying on one fixture row's incidental shape.
- Added a test proving the .harmonization_view_files schema-v5 guard is
necessary (not just incidental) against a corpus whose `long` genuinely
lacks a harmonized_code column, and rewrote the misleading "v5-only
parquet files" comment to name both real reasons a file is gated.
- Fixed an NA-fragile subtype filter, extended the expected-view-list
test, guarded .verb_spendrev() against total on a non-spending
view_base, added a roxygen caveat against summing total across levels
of government, and replaced an uncheckable corpus-wide SQL comment
figure with a fixture-verifiable one.
Full suite: 485/0/0 -> 503/0/0 (18 new expectations, zero pre-existing
value changed).
total adds an intergovernmental leg (M = to local, L = to state) as a UNION ALL
over new ig_annotated views. The IG leg deliberately skips NOT is_aggregate --
legacy IG lives almost entirely on aggregate rows, and the aggregate codes are
year-disjoint from their modern leaf components, so nothing double-counts.
L-- (the IG-to-state family total) is excluded. direct is the default and is
numerically unchanged.
test-views.R's harmonized-view test previously ran a hand-rolled REPLACE
query with no WHERE clause, so a regression in any of
inst/sql/22-spending_long_harmonized.sql / 23-revenue_long_harmonized.sql's
three predicates (NOT is_aggregate, harmonized_code IS NOT NULL, the
E/F/G/K or T/A/U/B/C/D prefix filter) would go uncaught. Replaced it with a
test that reads the real SQL files off disk, substitutes {url} exactly as
.register_views() does, and executes them (plus their 10-long.sql
dependency) against a synthetic hive-partitioned parquet tree written via
DuckDB's own COPY ... TO (FORMAT PARQUET) (no arrow dependency, matching
this package's existing convention). Ten rows are crafted so each predicate
is independently falsifiable by a specific row; manually broke each
predicate in turn to confirm the test fails exactly as expected, then
restored the SQL files (see the task report for the RED-phase transcript).
Also fixes a provenance ambiguity: a recipe= query bypasses
spending_annotated(_harmonized)/revenue_annotated(_harmonized) entirely
(.run_recipe() joins `long` directly), so basis= has no effect on it, but
provenance was still reporting basis = "harmonized"/"raw" (whatever the
argument resolved to) with harmonization$applied = FALSE alongside it --
misleading, since it looks like harmonization was evaluated and found
nothing to exclude rather than "not applicable here." Recipe results now
report basis = "recipe" with an inert harmonization block carrying an
explicit note, regardless of what basis= was passed.
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.
Adds schema_version 5 support alongside the existing v4 corpus:
.validate_schema() now accepts a supported set (4, 5) instead of a single
expected version, and cog_spending()/cog_revenue() gain basis =
c("harmonized", "raw"). Harmonized basis routes to new
spending_annotated_harmonized / revenue_annotated_harmonized views built on
spending_long_harmonized / revenue_long_harmonized (REPLACE(harmonized_code
AS item_code), excluding aggregate and NA-harmonized rows); raw basis is
byte-identical to the pre-Phase-R2 behavior. On a v4 corpus, an unspecified
basis silently resolves to "raw" with a provenance note; an explicit
basis = "harmonized" aborts with an actionable message.
Provenance gains basis, basis_note, and a harmonization block
(applied/na_rows_excluded/na_amount_excluded). The five new schema-v5-only
SQL views (harmonized long/annotated views, harmonization_map,
harmonization_recipes, series_breaks_pq) are registered conditionally on
manifest$schema_version >= 5, since DuckDB's read_parquet() errors eagerly
at CREATE VIEW time when the backing file doesn't exist on a v4 corpus.
Fixture corpus regenerated to schema_version 5 / years 2011, 2012, 2019,
2020 (2011->2012 spans the wide-aggregate -> modern-leaf format boundary
needed for the harmonization/recipe work), with the harmonization_map /
harmonization_recipes / series_breaks parquet tables bundled alongside the
existing metadata registries.
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).
