locatr 0.1.0

New package

• Initial CRAN release of locatr, an audit-ready workflow layer on top of tidygeocoder for cleaning, geocoding, validating, reviewing, and exporting messy location data.

Geocoding and review

• Added address cleaning with optional ID, ZIP, and record-name fields.
• Added bad-address flagging for PO boxes, placeholder addresses, missing required fields, test records, and missing ZIP codes.
• Added a staged geocoding cascade with reference backfill, Census structured geocoding, ArcGIS fallback, and ArcGIS name lookup.
• Added bounding-box and polygon validation so out-of-region coordinates are rejected rather than silently accepted.
• Added match-confidence scoring and plain-language confidence reasons.
• Added single-address candidate lookup with score filtering, location context, and optional geography enrichment.
• Added manual review export, manual override application, and a map-based review workflow for accepting, rejecting, or relocating coordinates.

Reproducibility and audit trail

• Added locatr_cache() with in-memory and persistent RDS/Parquet-backed response caches.
• Added cache inspection and clearing helpers.
• Added run provenance manifests, per-row placement/cache stamps, and geocode_provenance().
• Added geocode_report() for methods text, status counts, cache summaries, and confidence summaries.

Geography and export

• Added helpers to build Census TIGER/Line geography and attach county, municipality, tract, block group, ZCTA, legislative district, congressional district, and school district identifiers to geocoded records.
• Added spatial and attribute-key joins for user-supplied boundary layers.
• Added field-conflict flags for ZIP/state and geocoded-vs-stated county mismatches.
• Added reusable location crosswalk export for downstream dashboards and GIS workflows.

Apps and documentation

• Added a bundled Shiny app for upload, geocoding, geography attachment, download, provenance review, and audit-report export.
• Added a bundled map-based review Shiny app backed by testable override-table generation.
• Added Hugging Face Space and Posit Connect Cloud deployment scaffolding.
• Added pkgdown reference organization, README workflows, and a getting-started vignette.
