# R/balances.R

# Cash and security holdings. A third verb rather than an argument on a money
# verb because holdings are a STOCK -- a balance at a point in time -- while
# cog_spending()/cog_revenue() return FLOWS over a fiscal year. The money
# verbs' whole argument vocabulary (expenditure_concept, revenue_concept,
# complete=) describes flows and is meaningless here, so this deliberately
# does NOT route through .verb_spendrev().
#' Cash and security holdings for one or more governments
#'
#' 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.
#'
#' @param govid Canonical govid(s): a character vector, or a data frame with a
#' `canonical_govid` column (e.g. from [cog_gov_search()]).
#' @param years Integer vector of fiscal years.
#' @param 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.
#' @param 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.
#' @param adjust_to_year Deflate to this year's dollars (CPI-U).
#' @param 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`.
#' @param 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.
#'
#' @return A `tbl_df` with a `provenance` attribute. Amounts are full US
#' dollars.
#' @export
