fix: let the doc-content tests survive R CMD check
CI failed on the previous commit. testthat::test_local() from a checkout was
green, but rcmdcheck was not: under R CMD check the suite runs against the
INSTALLED package, where README.md, vignettes/ and man/ do not exist. Both
newly-activated tests read them through test_path("..", "..", ...) and died
on `cannot open the connection`.

The defect was latent in the committed tests, not introduced here -- they
shipped skip()ped, so CI had never executed either one. Removing the skips
is what exposed it, which is the mechanism working as intended.

Guarded with skip_if_no_source_tree(), so they skip in the installed-package
context that structurally cannot satisfy them. They are NOT thereby unchecked
in CI: the workflow runs testthat::test_local() from the checkout as its own
step before rcmdcheck, and there the paths resolve and the assertions run.

Deliberately not split: test-peer-summary-scope.R's numeric pin needs only
the corpus and would survive check on its own, but it exists to protect the
sentence above it. Separating them would let the prose drift while the pin
kept passing.

Verified locally: test_local 629 pass / 0 fail / 3 skip; rcmdcheck
0 errors / 0 warnings / 0 notes.

# Madison walkthrough audit -- finding F-004. Tracked as uscogdata#15.
# See docs/walkthroughs/FINDINGS.md in cog_explorer.
#
# The raw Census files report thousands of dollars; this package multiplies by
# 1000 and returns full US dollars. That is the friendlier choice and is not
# wrong -- but cog_explorer's CLAUDE.md states "All raw `amt` values are in
# $1,000s", so a reader who applies that rule to amt_nominal overstates every
# figure by 1000x, and gets a plausible-looking number rather than an obvious
# error. The audit rates this the highest-consequence definitional gap it found.
#
# Deliberately NOT asserted here: man/cog_spending.Rd and man/cog_revenue.Rd,
# which ALREADY carry the statement in their @return sections (verified
# 2026-07-29), as does cog-api's data-dictionary.md (since 2b71b41). The gap is
# in the surfaces a reader meets first and in cog_explorer's own conventions
# doc -- see uscogdata#15 for the full surface-by-surface table and for the two
# secondary tasks (cog_explorer/CLAUDE.md, which has no git remote, and
# cog-api's llms.txt, which is silent on units).
