Changes in version 0.0.0.9000                      

Foundation (prompt 01)

  - ct_theme() builder composed via theme_sub_*() helpers and routed
    through element_geom() so from_theme()-aware geoms inherit the
    palette's main colour (ink) and a default linewidth.
  - theme_strategy() archetype as a preset path.
  - Five starter palettes: strategy_navy, strategy_emerald,
    strategy_crimson, strategy_azure, strategy_slate.
  - ct_col() / ct_line() / ct_point() mechanical wrappers for
    explicit-override use at the call site.
  - ct_set_defaults() / ct_unset_defaults() for true aesthetic defaults
    (currently geom_point size = 2.5), autoloaded on library attach with
    an opt-out option.
  - has_font() internal helper.

CI (prompt 02)

  - R-CMD-check workflow across macOS, Windows, Ubuntu (R release) and
    Ubuntu (R devel).
  - test-coverage workflow via covr + Codecov v4.
  - README badges: R-CMD-check status, Codecov coverage, License: MIT.

Scales and palette preview (prompt 03)

  - scale_color_ct() / scale_fill_ct() — discrete scales backed by
    ggconsulting palettes; interpolate and emit a cli::cli_warn() when n
    exceeds the palette size.
  - scale_color_ct_c() / scale_fill_ct_c() — continuous variants via
    ggplot2::scale_color_gradientn() / scale_fill_gradientn().
  - British-spelling aliases: scale_colour_ct(), scale_colour_ct_c().
  - ct_palette_show() — swatch preview for a single palette, a custom
    hex vector, or every shipped palette faceted.

Finance and editorial archetypes (prompt 04)

  - theme_finance() — serif preset (Source Serif 4 → Georgia → Times New
    Roman → serif) with regular-weight title, a lighter major gridline,
    and denser defaults (density = "tight", context = "report") tuned
    for printed pages over slides. Defaults to the finance_classic
    palette.
  - theme_editorial() — serif preset with an italic subtitle and
    slightly larger, tighter-leaded title. Defaults to the
    editorial_warm palette.
  - ct_theme() gained a font_fallback argument; .resolve_font() now
    recognises "sans", "serif", and "mono" as guaranteed terminal
    fallbacks.
  - Six new palettes: finance_classic, finance_steel, finance_burgundy,
    editorial_warm, editorial_clay, editorial_oxide. The catalog is
    now 11 palettes (5 strategy + 3 finance + 3 editorial).

Locale and formatters (prompt 05)

  - ct_locale("pt-BR" | "en-US") — session-scoped locale switch stored
    in options(ggconsulting.locale). Does not touch Sys.setlocale();
    portable across Windows / Linux / macOS CI.
  - fmt_number() — locale-aware number formatter (1.234,5 / 1,234.5).
  - fmt_brl() — Brazilian Real formatter; always renders as R$ with a
    non-breaking space, regardless of active locale. Supports style =
    "accounting" for parens-wrapped negatives.
  - fmt_currency() — uses the active locale's currency symbol.
  - fmt_pct() — fraction-to-percent (0.5 → "50%").
  - fmt_delta() — always-signed percentage-point-style deltas (+1,2pp /
    -0,3pp / 0,0pp).
  - fmt_month() — Date / POSIXct → localised month string; ships its own
    pt-BR and en-US month tables (no LC_TIME reliance).

Data-aware polish (prompt 06)

  - ct_finish() — companion to ct_theme() that runs after the geom layer
    is built (via an ggplot_add() S3 method) and can:
      - inject value labels above bars / next to points (values = TRUE
        or "auto")
      - reorder a categorical x by y (sort = "asc" | "desc")
      - format labels via shortcut names (label_fmt = "brl" | "number" |
        "pct" | "delta") or a user-supplied function
      - highlight specific x values with the theme's main colour and
        mute the rest with muted_color (default #A8A4A0, a warm-leaning
        neutral that reads under both cool and warm palettes)
      - label the last point of each line series (end_labels = TRUE)
      - geom-aware scale expansion (expand = "auto") — y room above
        columns, right-side room for line endpoints

Visual gallery (prompt 07)

  - inst/gallery/ ships a small portfolio of example scripts for visual
    QA of themes, palettes, geoms, and formatters. Each file groups
    related plots into a single library(...) + assignments + print
    source-it-and-eyeball workflow. Files: lines.R, columns.R,
    columns-finished.R, facets.R, points.R, themes.R, palettes.R,
    formatters.R. Reachable post-install via system.file("gallery",
    package = "ggconsulting") — intended as the data source for a future
    Shiny gallery app.
