Abundance and species composition of phytoplankton (385 taxonomic
categories) in the California Current, 1996-2022, by inverted-microscope
counts (E. Venrick). Samples from the near-surface "second depth" are
pooled across stations into four regions (NE, SE, Alley, Offshore;
Hayward & Venrick 1998) before counting, so the grain is cruise x region,
not per-station. Source: EDI knb-lter-cce.254.4.

# coverage is measured at release time by calcofi4db::observed_coverage();
# this one is region-pooled, so its `sample` rows carry real coordinates but
# NO datetime at all (409 of 409 null). The spatial half is therefore
# measured like everyone else's and is absent here on purpose; only the
# temporal half cannot be derived and has to be claimed.

## Overview
**Source**: EDI [`knb-lter-cce.254.4`](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?packageid=knb-lter-cce.254.4)
— *Temporal and spatial changes of the abundance and species composition of
phytoplankton in the California Current* (E. Venrick + CalCOFI + CCE-LTER,
1996-2022). Provider `calcofi`.
**Grain note**: samples are **pooled across stations into 4 regions** before
counting, so there is no per-station `site_key`. We model the native grain —
`phyto_sample` = one row per (cruise × region) — and link to the cruise registry
by year-month (`cruise_key`).
Each region carries a **polygon derived from the station membership the source
declares**, not a position we chose: `cc_station_regions()` gives every declared
station the water nearest to it and dissolves those cells by region, so the four
regions tile their pooled domain exactly — no overlap, no gaps, each one
connected. The point on `phyto_sample` is a representative point *inside* that
polygon, which is what replaced the provisional centroid (see Questions Q01).

## Parse + Clean
The per-year sheets are taxon × (cruise × region) cross-tabs with merged 2-row
headers; `parse_phyto_workbooks()` (in `libs/parse_phytoplankton.R`) flattens
them to long form. We then drop stray file-path cells and separate the
group-`SUM` rows (derivable from the taxa, excluded per Q03).
```{r}
#| label: parse
abund_files <- file.path(dir_dl, c("abund_1996_2012.xlsx","abund_2012_2018.xlsx","abund_2019_2022.xlsx"))

is_sum = str_detect(str_to_upper(species_code), "^SUM"),
is_num = str_detect(species_code, "^[0-9]+$"))
d_taxa_long <- d_long |> filter(is_num)
cat(glue("parsed {nrow(d_long)} rows: {sum(d_long$is_path)} path-junk dropped, ",
"{sum(d_long$is_sum)} group-SUM excluded, {nrow(d_taxa_long)} taxon-level kept"), "\n")
```
## Build Region (polygons from the declared station membership)
The source tells us exactly which CalCOFI stations were pooled into each region
— `definitions.xlsx` sheet `Regions`, citing Hayward & Venrick 1998 — so read
that rather than inventing a position. Membership is all it gives; the geometry
is derived from it by `calcofi4db::cc_station_regions()` (workflows#76 Q01).
```{r}
#| label: region
# Read the membership verbatim from the source, so a provider correction lands
# by re-running rather than by editing a tribble in this notebook. Rows above
# the "Abbreviation" header are the citation, and the sheet has no column names.

## Measurement Types + Finalize
## Emit Core Tables
Project this dataset into the shared consolidated core model
(`design_env-bio-consolidation.md`). These core tables **are** this ingest's
output: `release_database.qmd` concatenates the per-dataset shards rather than
re-deriving the core, so there is exactly one projection to keep correct.
This dataset is **region-pooled**: the grain is cruise × region, not station ×
time, so `sample_type = 'region_pool'` and both `grid_key` and `datetime` are
NULL *by design*. The usual `WHERE grid_key IS NOT NULL` guard every other arm
carries must therefore **not** be applied here, or every row is dropped.
```{r}
#| label: emit_core

# taxa into this shard (the retired emit_core_tables() wrapper filtered internally)

tx_over <- read_csv(here("metadata/taxon_override.csv"), show_col_types = FALSE)
# This projection lives here, in the notebook that owns the dataset, not in a
# switch(dataset_key, ...) arm inside calcofi4db. The reusable SHAPES stay in the
# package (sample_arm_self / compat_measurement_sql), so this is a declaration.
# The coarse functional groups (NULL aphia_id) resolve via taxon_override.csv,
# keyed on phyto_taxon.taxa — hence tx_over is required, not optional.
# cross-reference: resolve each taxon against BOTH authorities (cached in
# metadata/taxon_xref.csv, so a re-run costs no API calls). This fills the
# `worms_id` COLUMN on itis:-keyed taxa without touching their key — a consumer
# joining on worms_id used to match ZERO rows for every seabird and marine
# mammal — backfills `itis_id` the other way, replaces an id its authority has
# deprecated so the key is always an accepted id, and fetches the real
# `taxonomic_status` with the date it was checked. Must precede the lineage
# fetch, which should ask about the accepted id, not the deprecated one.
