Grafana Mimir vs treasury

treasury wraps the US Treasury's published rate feeds — bill rates, par yields, forward rates, long-term extrapolated rates, and the HQM and breakeven inflation curves — into one set of R functions. Since 0.3.0 every function returns a data.table, and 0.5.0 added optional on-disk response caching with a one-day default. The most recent release is about data fidelity rather than reach: identifying columns, correct maturity labels, and locale-safe date parsing.

Endpoint coverage looks essentially complete, so the work has moved to the metadata a downstream analyst needs to join and audit results — cusip and maturity_date on bill quotes, the feed's updated_at stamp, and the extrapolation factor behind 2002-2006 long-term rate estimates. Error handling is tightening in the same direction: an out-of-range month now fails with a message instead of quietly returning nothing. That is the profile of a wrapper moving from coverage to correctness, where the remaining bugs are the subtle ones that only surface in other people's locales.

Expect further column-level enrichment and input validation on the endpoints already covered rather than new data sources, since the structural pieces — data.table returns and caching — are already in place.
