2 urgent, 4 worth a look, 1 note.
4 live camps have no cost verdict
Without one, every renderer falls back to 'not fee = free' -- the exact assumption that has shipped a fee site as free three times. Run data/fee_verdict.py --apply after every pull.
camp_ev covers 19180 camps; 19286 are published
Camps published since the last build_camp_ev.py run have no EV block. Re-run it after every pull.
76 of 19286 map pins have no profile page
Their pin opens a satellite view instead of our record. Build the pages, then REGENERATE map-data.json -- skipping that leaves them orphaned anyway.
1 campgrounds are pinned twice by two different sources
Two ingests found the same place. Keep the agency row, archive the OSM one -- the agency named it and placed it.
983 live fee camps carry no nightly rate
The agency record has a fee flag but no amount. The number is published on the forest's own recreation page or on recreation.gov -- this is the night lane's gen_price_backfill workload.
map-data.json is 8.1 MB
Every visitor to /map downloads this. Past ~8 MB it is worth trimming fields or splitting by region before it becomes the reason the map feels slow.
17035 of 19286 published camps say nothing about water (88%)
Not wrong, but it is the question campers ask first. Silence is honest; a sourced answer is better.
What the audit checks
- check_live_pages — Every page linked from the site must answer 200.
- check_fee_blurbs — A fee pin must never be captioned free camping.
- check_fee_verdict — Every published camp carries a cost verdict, and the flags agree with it.
- check_coords_in_state — A coordinate outside its own state is a data fault, not a rounding error.
- check_coords_on_land — A camp with no state must still be somewhere in the United States.
- check_orphan_pins — Pins with no profile page fall back to a Google satellite link.
- check_duplicate_pins — Two INGESTS landing on one campground -- the real double-pin case.
- check_missing_price — A fee pin with no amount is the least useful true thing we can say.
- check_pending_backlog — Leads found and never reviewed are camps nobody can see.
- check_water_coverage — Water is the field campers ask about most and the one most often blank.
- check_map_payload — The map JSON is downloaded by every visitor who opens /map.
- check_ev_snapshot — The EV charging layer is present, fresh, and the same snapshot everywhere.
- check_conditions — The season / closure layer ("Can I go now?") is present, current and consistent.
The audit is tools/site_auditor.py; it runs after every build cycle and writes research/SITE_AUDIT.md, which this page renders. Counts above are read from the same files the map, the homepage and the API read. A dash means the source was not available when this page was built.
