rmoriebricklayer: Reproducible Data Capsules with Provenance and Fallback
Tools for building brick-proof, reproducible, self-contained data capsules. Resolves open-data sources through the Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network ('CKAN', <https://ckan.org/>) package_show and package_search endpoints, records and verifies provenance with Secure Hash Algorithm 256 ('SHA-256') digests and Internet Archive 'Wayback Machine' (<https://web.archive.org/>) snapshots, validates downloaded data against a pinned schema, and falls back to schema-driven synthetic data when the real source is unreachable. Run records are captured in a manifest plus a plain-language summary so any result can be traced back to its inputs. Also ships a small compiled C core (fast summary statistics and a self-contained 'SHA-256') that sibling packages in the 'rmorie' ecosystem reach through 'LinkingTo' for a single, shared numeric and provenance-hashing backend.
