jared 7913b0f664 feat: record expenditure_concept in provenance and its JSON schema
Always populated, never implicit, so a downstream artifact says which concept
produced it. cog-api passes provenance through verbatim.

# R/spending.R
#' Summarized spending by category
#'
#' One row per `(year, canonical_govid, spend_subtype, category)`. Amounts are
#' returned in **full U.S. dollars** (the raw corpus stores them in $1,000s;
#' this verb multiplies by 1000 so downstream code can freely rescale to
#' millions/billions). The conversion is recorded in the provenance attribute
#' under `transformations$units_conversion`.
#'
#' @param govid Character vector of `canonical_govid` values.
#' @param years Integer vector of years.
#' @param category Character vector of category names (from
#' `summary_categories.category`), or `NULL` for all categories.
#' @param per_capita If `TRUE`, adds `amt_per_capita_nominal` (and
#' `amt_per_capita_real` when `adjust_to_year` is set) using the per-year
#' Census F-33 population from `gov_population_yearly`. Result also gains
#' a `pop_source` column with values `"census_f33"` or `"unavailable"`
#' (the latter for gov types 4/5 and any row whose population is missing
#' in that year).
#' @param adjust_to_year Integer base year for CPI-U real-dollar conversion,
#' or `NULL` for nominal only.
#' @param basis `"harmonized"` (default) sums item codes through the
#' cross-vintage harmonization mapping (folding series-break-affected
#' codes onto a comparable target and excluding aggregate / discontinued
#' rows -- see the `harmonization` block in `cog_explain()`); `"raw"`
#' reproduces the pre-Phase-R2 behavior (published item codes, no
#' folding). On a corpus with `schema_version < 5` (no harmonization
#' tables), `basis` silently resolves to `"raw"` when left at its default
#' and the resolution is recorded in the provenance; explicitly passing
#' `basis = "harmonized"` on such a corpus aborts. Ignored when `recipe`
#' is set (see below).
#' @param recipe Optional harmonization recipe id (see [cog_recipes()]) for
#' multi-code cross-vintage series that a 1:1 harmonized_code mapping
#' can't express (e.g. a wide-era aggregate that only splits into leaf
#' codes in the modern era). Mutually exclusive with `category`. The
#' result's subtype column reads `"recipe"` and `category` reads the
#' recipe's label. Requires `schema_version >= 5`. A recipe query bypasses
#' `basis` entirely (it joins `long` directly rather than going through
#' the `*_annotated`/`*_annotated_harmonized` views), so the `basis`
#' argument is ignored and the result's provenance reports
#' `basis = "recipe"` with an inert `harmonization` block (`applied =
#' FALSE`, pointing at the `recipe` block instead) rather than a
#' possibly-misleading `"harmonized"`/`"raw"` value.
#' @param expenditure_concept `"direct"` (default) returns only the
#' government's own direct spending (item codes `E`/`F`/`G`), unchanged
#' from prior releases. `"total"` additionally UNIONs in the
#' intergovernmental leg -- payments to local governments (`M` codes) and
#' to the state government (`L` codes, excluding the `L--` family-total
#' rollup) -- so results gain rows with `spend_subtype ==
#' "intergovernmental"`. Mutually exclusive with `recipe` (a recipe
#' already defines its own component codes). **Do not sum `"total"`
#' results across levels of government** (e.g. state + county + city):
#' a state's `M12` payment to a school district is the same dollar the
#' district reports as its own direct `E12`, so summing both double-counts
#' it. This matters in particular with [cog_geographic_rollup()], which
#' sums across exactly that kind of multi-layer government set.
#' @return Tibble with columns `year`, `canonical_govid`, `gov_name`,
#' `spend_subtype`, `category`, `amt_nominal`, optional `amt_real`,
#' optional `amt_per_capita_nominal`, optional `amt_per_capita_real`,
#' optional `pop_source`, `codes_included`, `aggregate_fallback`, `notes`.
#' Carries a `provenance` attribute matching `inst/schemas/provenance-v1.json`.
