jared a778d790d8 fix: govid input ergonomics + clearer missing-govid message
Two UX fixes surfaced by first real-user use:

1. cog_spending / cog_revenue / cog_geographic_rollup now accept either
   a character vector OR a data.frame with a canonical_govid column
   (e.g. output of cog_gov_search() or cog_find_peers()). Shared
   .coerce_govid_input() helper in session.R. This lets the natural
   pipe work:

     cog_gov_search('MIAMI', state='FL', type='city') |>
       cog_spending(years=2022, category='Police')

   cog_peer_compare already accepted a data.frame for the peer arg;
   behavior there is unchanged.

2. .check_govids_in_scope() message reworded. The old text led with
   'v0.1 covers gov_types 0-3' which falsely implied the missing govids
   were scope-excluded types when the more common real cause is a typo
   or a guessed value. New message leads with typo + pre-2017 PID,
   mentions scope exclusion as one possibility, and points at
   cog_gov_search() as the recovery path.

Tests: 165 pass / 0 fail. check 0E/0W/0N.

uscogdata

Curated R reader for the Civilytics US Census of Governments finance corpus.

Provides unit-level financial profiles, geographic rollups, and peer comparisons with auditable provenance and built-in cross-vintage correctness. Reads the published corpus (Hive-partitioned parquet + manifest.json) directly from Nextcloud via DuckDB httpfs — no local bulk downloads required.

Status

Under active development (Phase 2 of the cog_pipeline project). See ../cog_pipeline/docs/reader-specification.md for the reader contract this package implements.

Installation

# pak::pkg_install("gitea.civilytics.org/Civilytics/uscogdata")

Configuration

  • USCOGDATA_URL — corpus root URL (public Nextcloud share, trailing slash)
  • USCOGDATA_CACHE_DIR — optional override for the manifest cache directory
  • USCOGDATA_MANIFEST_TTL_SECS — optional manifest re-fetch TTL (default 3600)
