jared e2088458e1 fix: address Task 3 code review (bool_or, invariant tests, guards, docs)
Nine review items on the expenditure_concept = direct|total feature:

- bool_and(is_aggregate) -> bool_or(is_aggregate) for aggregate_fallback:
  bool_and silently misreported $5,740,775,000 of aggregate-sourced IG
  dollars (AL state 2011) as aggregate_fallback = FALSE, because the dense
  wide-era data puts a $0 leaf row in the same group as the real aggregate
  row. bool_or is a no-op for Direct/Revenue (verified: 0 mismatched groups
  across both tables) and correct for the IG leg.
- Added a year-disjointness invariant test for the four legacy
  aggregate/leaf IG pairs (M47/M94, M89/M91-93, L47/L94, L89/L91-93),
  scoped to the aggregate flag rather than bare code presence (M89/L89
  continue past 2011 as independent, non-aggregate leaves).
- Extended the real-SQL-text/synthetic-parquet harness in test-views.R to
  pin ig_long/ig_long_harmonized's predicates directly (aggregate rows
  retained, NULL harmonized_code coalesced, L-- excluded), rather than
  relying on one fixture row's incidental shape.
- Added a test proving the .harmonization_view_files schema-v5 guard is
  necessary (not just incidental) against a corpus whose `long` genuinely
  lacks a harmonized_code column, and rewrote the misleading "v5-only
  parquet files" comment to name both real reasons a file is gated.
- Fixed an NA-fragile subtype filter, extended the expected-view-list
  test, guarded .verb_spendrev() against total on a non-spending
  view_base, added a roxygen caveat against summing total across levels
  of government, and replaced an uncheckable corpus-wide SQL comment
  figure with a fixture-verifiable one.

Full suite: 485/0/0 -> 503/0/0 (18 new expectations, zero pre-existing
value changed).

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)

Developer notes

Testing

The package ships a bundled fixture corpus at inst/extdata/fixture_corpus/ — a 3.6 MB two-year slice (2019 + 2020) of the full corpus covering all 50 states. tests/testthat/setup.R automatically points USCOGDATA_URL at this fixture, so the full test suite runs offline with no network dependency:

devtools::test()   # uses bundled fixture, no credentials required

Releasing against the live corpus

Before cutting a release, run the test suite against the published corpus to catch any drift between the fixture and the real data:

Sys.setenv(USCOGDATA_URL = "<published-corpus-url-with-trailing-slash>")
devtools::test()

When the live-corpus run is clean, strip the fixture from the built package by adding this line to .Rbuildignore:

^inst/extdata/fixture_corpus$

The test suite is URL-agnostic — setup.R falls back to USCOGDATA_URL when the bundled fixture is absent, so no test code changes are needed for the release run or after stripping the fixture.
