Loose ends found while documenting the package (October 2026). None of them breaks the app; they are listed from most to least useful.

Scatterplot leaves out 17 countries

plot_cor() (R/fct_plots.R, lines 344-352) finds the region of a country by matching its Country Name in mfi to its Short Name in country_code. For 17 countries the two names differ, so they get no region and never appear on the Scatterplot tab:

Code	Name in mfi	Short Name in country_code
BOL	Bolivia	Bolivia, Plurinational State of
CIV	Cote d’Ivoire	Côte d’Ivoire
COD	Congo, Dem. Rep.	Congo, Democratic Republic of
COG	Congo, Rep.	Congo, Republic of
CUW	Curacao	Curaçao
EGY	Egypt, Arab Rep.	Egypt, Arab Republic of
FSM	Micronesia, Fed. Sts.	Micronesia, Federated States of
IRN	Iran, Islamic Rep.	Iran, Islamic Republic of
KOR	Korea, Rep.	Korea
NRU	Naoero	Nauru
PRK	Korea, Dem. People’s Rep.	Korea, Democratic People’s Republic of
SOM	Somalia, Fed. Rep.	Somalia
STP	Sao Tome and Principe	São Tomé and Principe
TUR	Turkiye	Türkiye
VEN	Venezuela, RB	Venezuela, República Bolivariana de
VIR	Virgin Islands (U.S.)	Virgin Islands (US)
YEM	Yemen, Rep.	Yemen, Republic of

All 17 have a region under their Country Code, so the fix is to match on the code: keep Country Code in the reshape() (idvar = c("Country Code", "Country Name", "Year")) and merge with by = "Country Code". After the fix, update the description of plot_cor(), which documents the current behavior.

Code that never runs

• input$dimension observer (R/app_server.R, lines 17-30): left from an earlier version. No script in the page sends input$dimension or handles the scaleUI message. Delete it, or add the JavaScript if the scaling is still wanted.
• year_max in plot_bar() (R/fct_plots.R, lines 248-254): it is computed for a value axis that only grows, but the code that would use it is commented out. Either bring that code back (and mention it in the description of plot_bar() again) or delete both.
• format_bignum() (R/utils_helpers.R, line 46): exported, but the app does not use it. The charts use the internal format_value(). Keep it as a user-facing helper, or remove it and its man page.
• Picker options (R/mod_country_comp.R and R/mod_indicator_comp.R, line 22): actions-box, live-search and selected-text-format are options of bootstrap-select (shinyWidgets::pickerInput()), not of selectizeInput(), which ignores them. Remove them, or switch to pickerInput() if the select-all buttons are wanted.

Dark mode

• Green numbers in Change (%) (R/fct_change.R, line 119): the dark green of an increase (#1E7B34) is dim on the dark background. DT writes the color into each cell, which dark_mode.css cannot easily override. Use a green that reads on both backgrounds, or set the color with a CSS class instead.
