chore: adopt compass for project tracking

Three workstreams -- the query verbs, the corpus and how it is mounted, and the
docs that explain both. Each can go stale independently, which is what the
workstream boundary is for: a change to a verb obligates the vignettes, a change
to the corpus obligates NEWS.

All six open issues now carry ws/ and type/ labels, applied additively so #36
kept its existing kodor/, severity/, south-guide and verdict/ labels. The
generated board is pinned as issue #68.

.roborev.toml carries review guidelines composed from a shared baseline, the R
package overlay, and this project's own conventions read out of CLAUDE.md: the
ensure_session-then-dbGetQuery order, the tbl_df-with-provenance return
contract, coerce_govid_input at the boundary, the two SQL layers, no arrow, and
withr as tests-only.

The .gitignore change is load-bearing. pkgdown output made docs/ ignored, which
would have left every compass file untracked and unable to travel to another
machine. Git cannot re-include anything beneath an excluded directory, so the
rule had to list children instead. That forced an anchoring change: a bare
"docs/" matches at any depth, "/docs/*" only at the root, so the fixture corpus
docs directory needed an explicit rule to stay excluded as before.

+# --- compass:begin (generated -- edit the sources, not this) ---
+- Prefer returning new values to mutating arguments in place. A function that edits
+  its caller's object is a bug waiting for a second caller.
+- Validate at system boundaries -- user input, API responses, file contents, config.
+  Fail fast with a message naming the field and the file.
+- Never swallow an error. Handle it or let it propagate; a bare catch that continues
+  is worse than a crash.
+- No hardcoded secrets, tokens, or credentials, and no secrets in log output or error
+  messages.
+- Parameterise every query. String-built SQL is a defect even when the input looks safe.
+- Keep functions under roughly 50 lines and files under roughly 400. Flag nesting
+  deeper than four levels.
+- No magic numbers or hardcoded paths -- name them as constants or read them from config.
+- New behaviour needs a test. A bug fix needs a test that fails without the fix.
+- Use the native pipe `|>`, not magrittr `%>%`.
+- snake_case for objects and functions; UPPER_SNAKE for constants. Never use `.` as a
+  word separator in a function name -- it collides with S3 dispatch.
+- Validate arguments at the top of exported functions with `stopifnot()` or an explicit
+  check, and say which argument was wrong.
+- Never `setDT()`, `set()`, or otherwise modify by reference a data.table the caller
+  still owns. `as.data.table()` copies; use it.
+- Prefer `vapply()` to `sapply()` -- `sapply()` silently returns a list when the type
+  varies, which turns a type error into a downstream mystery.
+- Use `seq_len(n)` / `seq_along(x)`, never `1:n`, which iterates backwards when n is 0.
+- Compare strings with `==` only after checking for NA; use `identical()` for scalars
+  where NA would be wrong.
+- Do not call `library()` inside package or module files; attach packages in scripts and
+  test helpers only.
+- Namespace-qualify calls into other packages (`stats::sd`) in code that is sourced.
+- Every exported function needs roxygen with `@param` for each argument (type, meaning,
+  and why the default is what it is) and `@return`. Add `@examples` for exported API.
+- Declare dependencies in DESCRIPTION. Prefer base R or an existing dependency over
+  adding a new one; a package with zero hard deps is worth keeping that way.
+- Signal errors with `stop()` carrying a condition class, so callers can catch the kind
+  rather than matching on message text.
+- Keep internals internal. Export only what a user needs; an accidentally exported
+  helper becomes an API you have to keep.
+- Tests use testthat edition 3. Each test is self-sufficient -- no reliance on state
+  left by an earlier test or on a fixture built elsewhere in the file.
+- Prefer duplication in tests over a helper that hides what is being asserted.
+- Every verb calls .ensure_session() first, then queries via DBI::dbGetQuery().
+- A verb's return value is always a tbl_df carrying a provenance attribute.
+- govid inputs always go through .coerce_govid_input(); it accepts a character vector or a data frame.
+- SQL has two layers: view definitions are numbered .sql files in inst/sql/ registered by .register_views(); query construction is inline sprintf() in R. Add a view as a file; build a query in R.
+- No arrow dependency -- DuckDB reads parquet natively.
+- withr is Suggests-only and must appear in tests alone.
+- Tests must pass offline against the bundled fixture; tests/testthat/setup.R sets USCOGDATA_URL for that.

+## 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, is a decision rather than a task: it was parked during the
+0.3.0 design and it gates the API announcement, 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.
+
+## 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
+- **#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
