jared 225cd60968 docs: fix stale test count and phantom notes column in cog_balances docs (#25)
Re-measured CLAUDE.md's test count on the final tree (764, not 763 --
the earlier number predated the balance_caveats schema test). Removed
notes from cog_balances()'s @return block: it was copied from
cog_spending()'s @return style without checking cog_balances() never
calls .verb_spendrev(), the only place that sets notes. Verified the
remaining documented columns against colnames() observed across every
argument combination (bare, per_capita, adjust_to_year, both, recipe,
category filter).

cog_balances(
govid,
years,
category = NULL,
per_capita = FALSE,
adjust_to_year = NULL,
basis = c("harmonized", "raw"),
recipe = NULL
)
}
\arguments{
\item{govid}{Canonical govid(s): a character vector, or a data frame with a
`canonical_govid` column (e.g. from [cog_gov_search()]).}
\item{years}{Integer vector of fiscal years.}
\item{category}{Optional character vector of categories to keep. One of
`"Fund Balances"`, `"Insurance Trust Balances"`,
`"Retirement System Holdings"`. There is deliberately no `subtype`
argument: for holdings, `category` is a strict coarsening of
`balance_subtype` (unlike the money verbs, where the two axes cross), so
every combination would be either redundant or empty.
`category = "Fund Balances"` is exactly the `general` family
(`W01`/`W31`/`W61`). `balance_subtype` is returned, so a finer split is
one `dplyr::filter()` away.}
\item{per_capita}{Divide holdings by population. Note this is a **stock per
resident** (reserves per person), which is *not* comparable to
[cog_spending()]'s per-capita figures -- those are a flow per person.}
\item{adjust_to_year}{Deflate to this year's dollars (CPI-U).}
\item{basis}{Accepted for uniformity with the money verbs, but currently a
**no-op**: `harmonization_map` carries no balance-code rows, so harmonized
and raw space are identical for holdings. Reported in
`provenance$basis_note`.}
\item{recipe}{Optional harmonization recipe id (see [cog_recipes()]).
`"cash_securities_z77_wide"` and `"cash_securities_z78_wide"` bridge the
wide era to the modern one.}
}
\value{
Tibble with columns `year`, `canonical_govid`, `gov_name`,
`balance_subtype`, `category`, `amt_nominal`, `codes_included`,
`aggregate_fallback`, plus optional `amt_per_capita_nominal` and
`pop_source` (when `per_capita = TRUE`), and optional `amt_real` and
`amt_per_capita_real` (when `adjust_to_year` is set). Amounts are full
US dollars.
Carries a `provenance` attribute matching
`inst/schemas/provenance-v1.json`, whose `balance_caveats` block reports
`not_gaap`, `not_gaap_note`, `coverage_window` (measured per-subtype year
extents) and `truncated` (subtypes whose coverage falls short of the
requested years). `expenditure_concept`/`revenue_concept` are `NA` --
holdings are a stock, not a flow, so neither concept vocabulary applies.

\description{
Returns Census cash-and-security holdings (`category_type = "balance"`):
fund balances, retirement system holdings and insurance trust balances.
}
\section{Holdings are not GAAP fund balance}{
Census holdings are **gross** -- no liabilities are netted -- so a reserve
ratio built from them overstates what is actually available. They are not
comparable to a GAAP fund balance from an ACFR.
