jared a5f86d87b3 fix: close five final-review gaps in all-categories mode
- .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.

\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. The reserved pseudo-category
`"All Categories"` (see [cog_spending()]) is **not** supported here and
errors with class `uscogdata_all_categories_unsupported`: it sums a
concept's subtype scope, and holdings are a stock with no concept
vocabulary to sum across. Omit `category` to get every category broken
out instead.}
\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`), optional `amt_real` (when
`adjust_to_year` is set), and optional `amt_per_capita_real` (only when
**both** `per_capita = TRUE` and `adjust_to_year` are set -- there is no
nominal per-capita column to deflate otherwise). 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 year extents for
every balance subtype in the mounted corpus, not only the observed ones)
and `truncated` (the observed 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.
