Summary

  • Expands drift's startup-quote pool from 61 to 113 by adding 52 domain-expert voices across floodplain/river process, Indigenous stewardship, ecosystem valuation, and legacy conservation.
  • Second /quotes-enable-style pass: 4 parallel research agents returned 55 candidates, 2 independent fact-check agents flagged 3 drops + 2 fixes. 52 ship.
  • Full provenance in data-raw/quotes_audit.csv. Shipped CSV stays slim (quote, author, source).

New voices

Domain Voices Count
Floodplain / river process Tim Beechie (0, no public footprint), David Montgomery, Ellen Wohl 9
Indigenous stewardship Robin Wall Kimmerer, Kyle Whyte, Nancy Turner, Jeannette Armstrong 14
Ecosystem valuation Kai Chan 5
Canadian public voices David Suzuki, Wade Davis 11
Legacy conservation Aldo Leopold, Wendell Berry 13

Fact-check outcomes (round 2)

  • Dropped 3: Wohl "harness nature" misattributed on source page (actually DJ Bandrowski); Kimmerer "land knows you even when you are lost" only traceable to a single blog; Wade Davis "Pessimism is an indulgence" was a grammatical reconstruction of a sentence fragment.
  • Fixed 2: Kimmerer gift-economy quote restored the truncated tail; Kyle Whyte opening sentence corrected to verbatim ("I don't hope for a better climate future" vs. agent's "I don't need hope").
  • Book-source quotes (Leopold SCA / Round River, Berry, Kimmerer Braiding Sweetgrass, Wade Davis TED) come back as CHAIN_ONLY in the audit — broad consensus across independent compilation sites, no single publisher-hosted scan retrievable. Acceptable for this canonical-literature class; documented.

Test plan

  • Rscript data-raw/quotes_build.R regenerates both CSVs (113 rows)
  • devtools::load_all() picks random quote from combined pool (Kendrick to Leopold)
  • R CMD check clean (same 2 pre-existing NOTEs)
  • Reviewer: load library(drift) in a fresh R session; clickable source hyperlink on domain-expert quotes
  • Reviewer: spot-check 3-5 rows of inst/extdata/quotes.csv against the cited URL

Files

  • data-raw/quotes_build.R - source of truth; added 52 rows with provenance
  • data-raw/quotes_audit.csv - regenerated
  • inst/extdata/quotes.csv - regenerated, now 113 rows
  • DESCRIPTION - Version 0.2.2
  • NEWS.md - entry
  • planning/active/ - PWF record (research yields, fact-check verdicts, user-review CSV)

Second /quotes-enable-style pass on drift adds voices from floodplain/river
process, Indigenous stewardship, ecosystem valuation, and legacy conservation
to the existing 61 hip-hop interview quotes. Total shipping pool: 113.

New voices (11):
- Floodplain / river process: David Montgomery (UW), Ellen Wohl (CSU)
- Indigenous stewardship: Robin Wall Kimmerer (Potawatomi), Kyle Whyte
  (Potawatomi), Nancy Turner (UVic), Jeannette Armstrong (Syilx/Okanagan)
- Ecosystem valuation: Kai Chan (UBC)
- Canadian public voices: David Suzuki, Wade Davis
- Legacy conservation: Aldo Leopold, Wendell Berry

Tim Beechie was on the target list but yielded zero public interview
footprint (process-paper voice only) — documented in findings.

Same rigor as v0.2.1: 4 parallel research agents returned 55 candidates,
2 independent fact-check agents flagged 3 drops (Wohl misattribution,
Kimmerer thin-chain citation, Davis fragment-reconstructed-as-sentence)
and 2 fixes (Kimmerer gift economy restored the truncated tail; Whyte
opening sentence corrected to verbatim source).

R CMD check clean (same 2 pre-existing NOTEs).
