hvtiR 1.3.1

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: hvtiRutilities dev 1.5.7 to 1.5.8. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping.

  • Family floors refreshed from main: hvtiRtemplates Suggests hvtiRtables (>= 1.0.7) to (>= 1.0.8). family-floors.csv ships in the package and records the version floors members declare on one another.

  • setup() now checks that it is not running inside the study before it does anything that can install. With a renv project active, or the session library under the study root, it stops and names the command to run from a session started outside the project, hvtiR::setup(root = "<study>", ...). Before, resolving the root could install hvtiRutilities into the study’s own library first.

  • setup() finds the study root without installing anything: it uses RENV_PROJECT when set, and asks hvtiRutilities only when it is already installed.

  • setup() stops the study using renv’s per-user cache (renv::settings$use.cache(FALSE), stored in renv/settings.json so it applies to the whole team) and runs renv::isolate() before restoring. It removes, and so reinstalls, any library link whose target the user cannot read, and pak’s leftover _cache staging directory, and reports what it removed. This fixes “Unable to move package” failures in a library shared by several users.

  • install() and update() warn, with the fix, when run from an active study project whose library holds links the user cannot read or a leftover _cache directory.

  • setup() reports a failed install without crashing. The child’s output is cleaned (carriage returns, colour codes, invalid bytes, braces) before it reaches the message, and the full raw output is saved to hvtiR-setup-<time>.log in the session’s temporary directory, which the message names.

  • setup() no longer needs a personal GitHub token. It installs the family with pak into the study’s library (pak carries a shared token, so a server’s shared IP does not exhaust GitHub’s anonymous API limit) and keeps renv for the environment: restore, then the pak install, then the lockfile snapshot, in explicit mode. The LinkingTo packages pak skips are installed from the configured repositories, which the snapshot’s validation needs. With no token it now warns instead of stopping, since only restoring a package the lockfile pins on GitHub can need one. A token held only in the git credential store is still passed on as GITHUB_PAT for the run.

  • setup() no longer installs subdirectory remotes ahead of the rest to work around a renv 1.2.4 unpack bug: pak handles them, so the workaround and its Remotes parsing are removed.

  • setup() finds the study root without loading hvtiRutilities: loading it left its namespace in use and blocked the upgrade that follows. It uses RENV_PROJECT, else the nearest _study.yml at or above the working directory, else the working directory.

  • A link in the study’s library whose target is readable but whose DESCRIPTION is not is now treated as unreadable and removed (the link only). A real package directory whose DESCRIPTION the user cannot read is never deleted: setup() stops before changing anything, names the packages, and says their owner or an administrator must fix the permissions (chmod -R g+rX <library>/<pkg>) or remove them.

  • The install() and update() warning now gives the manual repair in the order that works: remove _cache, remove each broken link, then renv::settings$use.cache(FALSE), renv::isolate() and renv::restore().

  • The check that no locked package moved now runs after the LinkingTo fill, immediately before the snapshot, because the fill installs through renv and can move a locked package.

  • That check now compares RemoteSha as well as Version, so a GitHub package locked at one commit and rebuilt from another is caught even when its version is unchanged.

  • When the check trips, setup() first removes the packages this run added to the study’s library, then restores the moved locked packages, so the library matches the lockfile again. If that restore fails (restoring a GitHub-locked package needs a personal token), the message names the packages that could not be restored and the token steps. The lockfile is unchanged either way.

  • The pak install now uses the repositories the study’s renv.lock records, falling back to the session’s, instead of the session’s alone.

  • setup() runs its child R processes from a script file instead of an -e argument. R truncated a long -e argument, so a study with about 155 locked packages ran half a script and stopped with “The install did not report the study’s library path”.

  • setup() installs from the binary form of a Posit Package Manager source URL. When the study’s renv.lock records .../cran/latest and the session has .../cran/__linux__/<distro>/latest (same host, path and snapshot), pak, the restore and the LinkingTo fill use the binary URL and renv.lock is rewritten to record it, so installs no longer compile from source (arrow failed on RHEL 8’s default compiler). No other repository is changed.

  • setup() no longer reports false moves from its lock guard. It compares versions as versions (1.2-5 is 1.2.5) and looks packages up across every library on the path, so recommended packages in R’s system library (mgcv, nlme, survival, …) are found.

  • New upgrade argument to setup(). The default, TRUE, lets the install move locked versions the declared family needs, lists each move and records it in renv.lock. upgrade = FALSE keeps a study in revision on its locked versions: the guard rolls back as before, and its message now says how to move them.

  • setup() now resolves unmet version requirements before it snapshots. It reads Depends, Imports and LinkingTo of every package in the study library and finds packages that are absent or below a floor (>=, >, ==), as renv’s snapshot validation would. With upgrade = TRUE (the default) it installs them through renv from the binary repositories and checks again; the lock guard then reports any locked package those installs moved, and a moved package it raised is listed under “Other unmet requirements resolved”. What stays unmet, or anything at all with upgrade = FALSE, stops setup() before the snapshot with each requirement listed and renv.lock unchanged.

hvtiR 1.3.0

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: hvtiRtables dev 1.0.5 to 1.0.7. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping.

  • Family floors refreshed from main: hvtiRtemplates Suggests hvtiRtables (>= 1.0.5) to (>= 1.0.7). family-floors.csv ships in the package and records the version floors members declare on one another.

  • New setup() sets up a study’s environment in one command: it cleans up template copies before renv, declares the family and the packages it needs, installs them into the study’s library, and snapshots. renv runs in explicit mode, so the lockfile records what the study declares. A study with a renv.lock keeps its locked versions, and every package that lockfile recorded is declared on first conversion.

  • doctor() reports a member whose dependencies are not on the library path, and a study lockfile made under a different R.

  • setup() installs the subdirectory remotes that members pin (read from their DESCRIPTIONs, such as boostmtree) in a first renv::install() call, which works around a renv 1.2.4 failure (“target file … already exists”) on a cold cache.

  • setup() warns before it writes anything when no GitHub credentials are found, and says how to create them, and a failed install that reports missing authentication credentials says so too.

  • setup() never upgrades a locked package: if declaring a new package would move a locked dependency, it restores the locked versions, leaves renv.lock unchanged and stops, naming the change; update() is the way to move versions.

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: ggBoostedTrees dev 0.9.2 to 0.9.3; hvtiPlotR dev 2.8.11 to 2.8.14; hvtiRdatabuild dev 0.3.1 to 0.3.2; hvtiRtables dev 1.0.7 to 1.0.8; hvtiRutilities dev 1.5.5 to 1.5.7. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping.

  • Family floors refreshed from main: hvtiRdatabuild Imports hvtiRutilities (>= 1.5.1) to (>= 1.5.2); hvtiRtemplates Imports hvtiRutilities (>= 1.5.1) to (>= 1.5.7). family-floors.csv ships in the package and records the version floors members declare on one another.

hvtiR 1.2.9

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: hvtiPlotR dev 2.8.10 to 2.8.11; hvtiRbootstrap dev 0.9.5 to 0.9.6; hvtiRtemplates dev 1.4.0 to 1.4.1; hvtiRutilities dev 1.5.4 to 1.5.5. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping.

hvtiR 1.2.8

  • update() now says at once that it installed nothing when a member it needs is already loaded, naming the loaded members. Until now the only signal was a warning, which prints after the call returns and vanishes under suppressWarnings() or options(warn = -1), so update() could stop after “hvtiR is current” without a word about the members it skipped.

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: TemporalHazard dev 1.2.15 to 1.2.16; hvtiPlotR dev 2.8.6 to 2.8.10; hvtiRdatabuild dev 0.3.0 to 0.3.1; hvtiRpropensity dev 0.1.11 to 0.2.1; hvtiRtables dev 1.0.3 to 1.0.5; hvtiRtemplates dev 1.3.1 to 1.4.0; hvtiRutilities dev 1.5.2 to 1.5.4. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping.

  • Family floors refreshed from main: hvtiPlotR Suggests hvtiRpropensity added; hvtiRpropensity Suggests hvtiPlotR added; hvtiRtemplates Suggests hvtiPlotR (>= 2.8.0) to (>= 2.8.9); hvtiRtemplates Suggests hvtiRpropensity (>= 0.1.10) to (>= 0.2.0); hvtiRtemplates Suggests hvtiRtables (>= 1.0.1) to (>= 1.0.5). family-floors.csv ships in the package and records the version floors members declare on one another.

hvtiR 1.2.7

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: TemporalHazard dev 1.2.12 to 1.2.14. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping.

  • New inst/extdata/family-floors.csv records every version floor one family member declares on another, read from each member’s DESCRIPTION on main by the weekly catalog-versions job. A floor main does not meet in Depends, Imports or LinkingTo would break install(), which resolves members from main in one call, so that job now fails on one; a Suggests floor is reported only.

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: TemporalHazard dev 1.2.14 to 1.2.15; ggBoostedTrees dev 0.9.1 to 0.9.2; hvtiPlotR dev 2.8.5 to 2.8.6; hvtiRbootstrap dev 0.9.4 to 0.9.5; hvtiRdatabuild dev 0.2.4 to 0.3.0; hvtiRimputation dev 0.1.2 to 0.1.3; hvtiRlifetables dev 0.1.4 to 0.1.5; hvtiRtemplates dev 1.3.0 to 1.3.1; hvtiRutilities dev 1.5.1 to 1.5.2. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping.

  • Family floors refreshed from main: hvtiRtemplates Suggests hvtiRdatabuild (>= 0.2.3) to (>= 0.3.0). family-floors.csv ships in the package and records the version floors members declare on one another.

hvtiR 1.2.6

  • update() now warns and installs nothing when a required member is already loaded; this replaces the previous error. The returned empty character vector carries a blocked attribute listing the loaded members. Restart R and run update() before those packages attach. force = TRUE still bypasses the guard, with the existing Windows safety risk.

  • DESCRIPTION now declares the Quarto command line tool in SystemRequirements. The vignettes have always needed it to build; the field makes that visible to installers and to R CMD check.

  • The pkgdown site’s articles put the table of contents on the left and use the full width of the window, the same layout as the HVTI Quarto books and the hvtiRtemplates jobs, through pkgdown/extra.css. The installed vignettes keep the Quarto engine’s own minimal format.

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: ggRandomForests CRAN 3.5.3 to 3.5.4; hvtiPlotR dev 2.8.4 to 2.8.5; hvtiRimputation dev 0.1.1 to 0.1.2; hvtiRpropensity dev 0.1.10 to 0.1.11; hvtiRtemplates dev 1.2.4 to 1.3.0; hvtiRutilities dev 1.4.4 to 1.5.1. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping.

hvtiR 1.2.5

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: ggBoostedTrees dev 0.9.0 to 0.9.1; hvtiPlotR dev 2.8.3 to 2.8.4; hvtiRtemplates dev 1.2.2 to 1.2.4; hvtiRutilities dev 1.4.3 to 1.4.4. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping.

hvtiR 1.2.4

  • install() and update() explain a failed solve on an unmet dependency floor rather than passing on pak’s raw “Could not solve package dependencies”. They name each floor that the members being installed declare and the repositories cannot meet and, when a repository is a dated Posit Package Manager snapshot, print the one-line options(repos = ...) that points it at latest for the session. Any other failure is rethrown unchanged (#103).

  • The getting-started vignette shows output as of 2026-09-29: the status() examples carry the installer version in the header, the member versions in the catalog on that date and all twelve members (hvtiRimputation was missing from the offline example), and the doctor() section covers the repository listing, the dated-snapshot warning and the dependency floors added in 1.2.3. The README’s member table gains hvtiRimputation and its doctor() summary the same additions.

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: ggBoostedTrees dev 0.0.7 to 0.9.0; hvtiPlotR dev 2.8.2 to 2.8.3; hvtiRpropensity dev 0.1.8 to 0.1.10. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping.

hvtiR 1.2.3

  • doctor() lists the configured package repositories and warns when one is a dated Posit Package Manager snapshot, as RStudio Server sites often set. A dependency released after the snapshot is invisible to pak, so install() fails with “Could not solve package dependencies” when a member needs it: ggRandomForests requires varPro (>= 3.3.0), released to CRAN on 2026-09-22.

  • doctor() also names the dependency floors the configured repositories cannot meet. It reads each member’s DESCRIPTION from GitHub, compares every outside Depends, Imports and LinkingTo floor against the repositories’ package indexes. Against the Posit Package Manager snapshot of 2026-09-01 it reports that ggRandomForests needs varPro >= 3.3.0 while the repositories offer 3.2.0. The check needs the network, so doctor(remote = FALSE) skips it.

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: TemporalHazard dev 1.2.11 to 1.2.12; hvtiPlotR dev 2.7.17 to 2.7.18. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping.

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: hvtiPlotR dev 2.7.18 to 2.8.2; hvtiRdatabuild dev 0.2.3 to 0.2.4; hvtiRtables dev 1.0.2 to 1.0.3; hvtiRutilities dev 1.4.1 to 1.4.3. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping.

hvtiR 1.2.2

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: hvtiPlotR dev 2.7.15 to 2.7.17; hvtiRimputation dev 0.1.0 to 0.1.1; hvtiRpropensity dev 0.1.7 to 0.1.8; hvtiRtemplates dev 1.2.1 to 1.2.2; hvtiRutilities dev 1.3.1 to 1.4.1.

hvtiR 1.2.1

  • status() now checks hvtiR itself against GitHub as well as the family members. When the installer is behind, the report names both the available version and pak::pak("ehrlinger/hvtiR") as the update command. update() reuses that check rather than making a second request.

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: hvtiRdatabuild dev 0.2.2 to 0.2.3; hvtiRpropensity dev 0.1.5 to 0.1.7; hvtiRtemplates dev 1.2.0 to 1.2.1; hvtiRutilities dev 1.3.0 to 1.3.1. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping.

hvtiR 1.2.0

  • ⚠️ Breaking: the job catalog leaves hvtiR, and jobs() is removed. The catalog moves to hvtiRtemplates as inst/extdata/templates.json, read by hvtiRtemplates::template_catalog() (hvtiRtemplates:dev/specs/2026-09-18-template-catalog-design.md). Every job type is a template there; other packages only supply the functions a template calls, so hvtiR keeps no part of it. Removed: jobs() and its help page, inst/extdata/jobs.json, the job-catalog vignette, the catalog tests (including the temporary freeze guard added while the catalog moved), the jobs-pin-drift workflow and tools/check_jobs_pin.py. jsonlite leaves Imports, and ggRandomForests, hvtiPlotR, hvtiRpropensity, hvtiRtables, hvtiRutilities and TemporalHazard leave Suggests and Remotes: they were installed only to validate the catalog’s replaced_by exports. The registry still names them all as members; install() reads the registry, not this package’s DESCRIPTION.

  • The published-artifact catalog records hvtiRutilities 1.3.0 in its dev_version column, refreshed from main by tools/refresh_catalog_versions.py.

hvtiR 1.1.15

  • The published-artifact catalog records hvtiRutilities 1.2.1 in its dev_version column, refreshed from main by tools/refresh_catalog_versions.py. That catalog is presentation metadata, read by the internal read_catalog() for renderers such as the family table; status() does not read it, and takes its versions live from each repository’s main. 1.2.1 carries cache_fit() and the rfr, sid and vt taxonomy rows that the rfs/rfc/rfr and sid/vt catalog rows above depend on.

  • rfs, rfc and rfr move from retire to scaffold, destined for hvtiRtemplates. Their templates are owed there: they fit with randomForestSRC and plot with ggRandomForests, so they use ggRandomForests rather than living in it. status becomes queued, since a row destined for hvtiRtemplates carries a scheduling status, and batch stays null because no ML batch has been assigned. replaced_by keeps the gg_* functions the templates will call. retire now holds exactly rf and rfsrc, the legacy umbrella rows hvti_taxonomy() demoted.

  • rfr, sid and vt leave intake. hvtiRutilities PR #127 added all three prefixes to hvti_taxonomy(); it is on that package’s main but in no release yet, so it is NOT in 1.2.0. All three rows are destined for ggRandomForests, off this catalog’s hvtiRtemplates destination, so they take status: null like the other off-destination rows rather than a scheduling status. rfr is a retire row and needs no blocker. sid and vt are build rows, which must cite a real issue once out of intake; they now cite hvtiRforests#1, the issue for ML sub-project 3, opened with the new hvtiRforests repository because nothing citable existed before.

  • The intake placeholder guard in test-jobs.R no longer goes quiet when intake is empty. It asserted inside a for over the intake rows, so with none left it made no expectation, and testthat reports an empty test as a SKIP rather than a pass. It now asserts over the whole set. Separately, the temporary pin on the three rows’ hvtiRutilities#taxonomy blocker is retired: sid and vt are now pinned to hvtiRforests#1, and rfr to having no blocker at all.

hvtiR 1.1.14

  • The catalog records the current main version of five members, refreshed from the live oracles by tools/refresh_catalog_versions.py: hvtiRutilities 1.1.12 to 1.2.0, hvtiRtemplates 1.1.0 to 1.2.0, hvtiPlotR 2.7.14 to 2.7.15, hvtiRpropensity 0.1.4 to 0.1.5 and hvtiRtables 1.0.1 to 1.0.2. Until now status() could not tell anyone that the hvtiRutilities and hvtiRtemplates 1.2.0 releases existed, which is what a study needs before it can install them.

hvtiR 1.1.13

  • dc-stddiff moves from hvtiRutilities to hvtiRpropensity. That package already computes standardized differences inside ps_match(), ps_logistic() and ps_weight(), and the port takes stddiffci and mw_var with it. The row stays build, now blocked on hvtiRpropensity#34, which supersedes hvtiRutilities#103, and its spec is hvtiRtemplates’ dev/specs/2026-09-16-standardized-difference-design.md.

  • The catalog marks dc-general shipped, over hvtiRutilities::proc_contents() and proc_means(), with base R for the contingency tables, cumulative distributions and correlations.

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: hvtiRdatabuild dev 0.2.1 to 0.2.2. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping.

hvtiR 1.1.12

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: hvtiPlotR dev 2.7.13 to 2.7.14; hvtiRbootstrap dev 0.9.3 to 0.9.4; hvtiRdatabuild dev 0.2.0 to 0.2.1; hvtiRlifetables dev 0.1.3 to 0.1.4; hvtiRpropensity dev 0.1.3 to 0.1.4; hvtiRtables dev 1.0.0 to 1.0.1; hvtiRutilities dev 1.1.11 to 1.1.12. The versioned catalog ships in the package.

hvtiR 1.1.11

  • The catalog marks dc-tables, dc-gfup and dp-postage shipped. dc-tables now names the correlation table and matrix engines, and dp-postage is thin over hvtiPlotR::hv_eda().

  • Catalog versions refreshed from CRAN and main: ggRandomForests CRAN 3.5.2 to 3.5.3; TemporalHazard dev 1.2.9 to 1.2.11; ggBoostedTrees dev 0.0.6 to 0.0.7. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping.

hvtiR 1.1.10

  • pm’s row leaves the catalog, with its entry in hvti_taxonomy(). It had stayed as a retire row after folding into lm only because hvtiRtemplates requires the catalog and the taxonomy to name the same prefixes. lm still counts the studies using either prefix, 470. The catalog has 57 rows and 5 retired.

  • The hazard rows name the TemporalHazard functions their templates call, in replaced_by: ac hzr_kaplan(); hz hazard() and hzr_phase(); hm hazard(), hzr_stepwise(), hzr_deciles() and hzr_gof(); hs hazard() and hzr_stepwise(); bh hzr_bootstrap() and hzr_stepwise(); and hp adds hazard() to its hvtiPlotR functions. Each is read from the shipped template in hvtiRtemplates and validated against TemporalHazard’s exports, so TemporalHazard joins Suggests, Remotes and the CI installs. bc is a Cox job and calls none of them. No disposition changes.

  • Five rows take the relabelled taxonomy names, after the same review that folded pm into lm: bn “Bootstrap non-linear”, nd “Non-linear distributions”, nm “Non-linear model”, np “Non-linear plot” and nb “Boosting”. hvti_taxonomy() in hvtiRutilities takes the same labels.

hvtiR 1.1.9

  • pm folds into lm, and lm is thin over hvtiRpropensity. A review of the catalog page on 2026-09-11 put 8 or 9 in 10 lm jobs as propensity models, and the corpus agrees as far as a text match can: 1,014 of the 1,872 lm SAS programs name a propensity or balancing score, in 331 of 467 studies. lm now leans on ps_logistic() and bs_count(), and counts the studies using either prefix, 470 against 469. pm, whose programs are negative-binomial balancing-score fits, is retire over bs_count(), and keeps a row only while hvti_taxonomy() lists it. hvtiRpropensity joins Suggests, Remotes and the CI installs, because the routing test validates every package a replaced_by names and fails on CI when one is absent.

  • The catalog’s counts are corrected, and their units are written down. dc-stddiff counts the union of the six spellings that fold into it, 120 studies, where 59 was the 2019 spelling alone and a sum would give 157. si and mi count jobs like every other row: mi its own and bd’s multiple-imputation jobs, 18 studies, and si 1, because mean imputation runs inside bootstrap jobs. The 223 and 326 studies calling the imputation macros stay in the notes. Twelve of the thirteen qualified dc and dp rows gain r_jobs and r_exemplars, by the 2026-08-29 definition, which the scan reproduces for all 42 prefixes; dp-postage stays null, because its job is named by dataset. Section 5 of dev/specs/2026-09-04-job-catalog-design.md defines each unit and records two rules: sas_breadth_jobs is the figure of record, and where two spellings name one job the newer macro’s names the row while the row counts both.

  • jobs() returns sas_breadth_jobs and r_exemplars, and the job catalog vignette’s SAS column reads sas_breadth_jobs. It read sas_breadth, which is null on every qualified row, so all thirteen dc and dp rows showed no SAS count.

  • dc-trends and dp-boxplot now count studies in the field’s own unit. #61 filled sas_breadth_jobs with a token count over the whole job name, 58 and 34, where every other qualified row holds distinct studies whose second name field is the qualifier. By that unit, from the 2026-09-02 re-parse, they are 43 (descriptive/dc) and 9 (graphs/dp), both still past the two-studies gate. The options evidence strings stay token counts, and say so.

  • Two job types join the catalog, and a top-level options list starts beside jobs. dc-trends (43 studies) and dp-boxplot (9) are queued with no batch yet. Both come from the 2026-09-10 triage in hvtiRtemplates, counted as distinct studies over the 2026-08-27 census. options records four constructs that span prefixes rather than being job types of their own: a landmark early / late split, repeated events, a US life-table comparison, and a matched or weighted analysis. Every reader of the catalog takes only jobs, so the new list changes nothing that exists. The hs and dc-stddiff notes now name the legacy variants that fold into them, and the tests that pinned 56 rows now pin 58.

hvtiR 1.1.8

  • dp-trends is shipped, the first of the EDA templates from the 2026-09-10 batch. hvtiRtemplates gains 40_graphs/dp-trends.qmd, a thin template over hvtiPlotR::hv_trends(). Its design is dev/specs/2026-09-10-dp-trends-template-design.md in hvtiRtemplates, the value the row’s spec now holds. A spec with no repository prefix is a path in hvtiRtemplates, as 16 of the catalog’s 18 are; si and mi name hvtiRdatabuild/ explicitly because their designs live there. The row is flipped straight to shipped rather than through in-flight: hvtiRtemplates only sees the catalog through its pinned tag, and the pin moves in the same pull request that adds the template, so the catalog never claims a template that is not on disk and one tag suffices.

hvtiR 1.1.7

  • dp-postage is no longer blocked. Its blocked_on named hvtiRtemplates#97, the defect that made hvtiRtemplates reject any template whose folder disagrees with hvti_taxonomy(). hvtiRtemplates#98 fixed it and closed hvtiRtemplates#97 on 2026-09-10, so blocked_on is now null and the row’s note records when and why. Nothing checks blocked_on for a queued row, which is why this is a manual step rather than something a test would have caught.

  • The job catalog gains dp-postage and pulls three dc rows into batch 3, taking it from 55 rows to 56. Scheduled for the biostats fellows training session; the design is hvtiRtemplates/dev/specs/2026-09-09-eda-templates-design.md.

    dc-general, dc-tables and dc-gfup move from batch 4 to batch 3. Nothing else moves: dc-dead, lg and rg stay in 4, and the dp rows were already in 3.

    ⚠️ dp-postage is the first row whose folder disagrees with hvti_taxonomy() by design. The taxonomy files dp under graphs; this row is descriptive, which is the third folder the prefix occupies in the corpus. hvtiRtemplates asserted template folders against the taxonomy alone until hvtiRtemplates#98, so a row like this one, and the already scheduled dp-variable with folder: distributions, could not have shipped a template. blocked_on names that issue.

    Its counts are null rather than zero. descriptive/dp has never been censused: the 2026-09-02 decomposition enacted rows for graphs/dp and distributions/dp only, and five further descriptive/dp legacy templates remain unrepresented. An em dash in the rendered roadmap means unmeasured, not absent.

    disposition is scaffold, not thin like its dp siblings, because hvtiPlotR 2.7.13 has no faceting constructor and the grid is the template’s own facet_wrap().

  • dc-tables records that pairwise correlation is in scope for it. The exemplar is /descriptive/dc.tables.ods_preoplabs_a1c.sas, one proc corr nosimple spearman pearson fisher(biasadj=no) plots=matrix emitting a scatter-plot matrix and a Fisher-CI coefficient table. dc-general carries a plain proc corr nosimple rank section with no plot and no intervals, so the two are not the same job and the note says which is which.

  • hvtiRutilities is recorded at 1.1.11 in inst/extdata/catalog.csv, up from 1.1.10, refreshed from origin/main by catalog-versions.yml. The catalog ships in the package and is published as members.json, so its recorded versions are content rather than bookkeeping and belong under a heading like anything else.

  • catalog-versions.yml now files its own NEWS entry, via tools/news_catalog_entry.py. The refresh pull request changed inst/extdata/catalog.csv and nothing else, which is exactly the shape check_version.py rejects – version unchanged from the base and no standing # hvtiR (unreleased) heading to file under. Both guards are right; the machine pull request could satisfy neither, so every refresh needed a hand-written NEWS commit before it could merge.

  • The collision is structural rather than occasional: the unreleased heading is removed by every naming commit, so a refresh landing between a bump and the next unreleased change fails every time. 1.1.6 was named minutes before the refresh that exposed it.

  • The tool never opens a second unreleased heading and never repeats a bullet it has already written, because the refresh branch is regenerated weekly and reruns have to converge rather than accumulate. # hvtiR 1.1.6

  • Added hvtiRimputation to the registry, taking the family to twelve members. It ports PROC STANDARD with REPLACE and the imputsub macro: fill by a stated method, and return a row-level record of exactly which values were changed. It imports only stats and utils, so it needs no member_deps() edge and no Remotes: line of its own – the third of the three things adding a member usually takes does not apply here. It is recorded as wip: impute_multiple() is unbuilt and pooling is deferred.

  • Registered only after ehrlinger/hvtiRimputation’s main actually carried the package. The repo existed on GitHub for some hours with main at an empty initial commit and the package on an unmerged branch, and a registry row written then would have broken install() for everyone: every spec goes to pak::pak() in one call, so a single spec resolving to a main with no package fails the whole family install rather than its own row.

  • The job catalog gains si and mi, the imputation job types, taking it from 53 rows to 55. Both are datasets/datasets, disposition: scaffold, destined for hvtiRtemplates. si is ported and shipped as hvtiRimputation::impute_mean(); mi is blocked on impute_multiple(), which is designed and not built.

    ⚠️ sas_breadth is deliberately null on both. The imputation numbers that exist are STUDY counts – 223 call single, 326 call multiple, 18 both – and this field holds file/job counts everywhere else in the catalog (bd is 1,134 files). Writing study counts into it would repeat the units error the corpus census already caught once, where macro copies were reported as runs. The counts are in note, with their unit named.

    This row was not optional: hvtiRtemplates’ test-roadmap.R asserts that every taxonomy prefix has a catalog row, so adding si/mi upstream in hvtiRutilities turned that suite red until the catalog accounted for them. That gate is working exactly as its comment says it should.

  • 53 is no longer hard-coded in two places and one docstring. The counts moved to 55, and jobs()’s test now also asserts nrow(jobs()) == length(read_jobs()) – the relationship, which cannot go stale the way a literal does.

  • New jobs-pin-drift workflow, with tools/check_jobs_pin.py behind it. inst/extdata/jobs.json is read by sibling repositories rather than imported, so hvtiRtemplates checks it out by tag – deliberately, so that editing the catalog here cannot fail every pull request there. That pin has a shelf life: once main moves past the newest tag, the pin still resolves and both sides stay green while the consumer validates against an older catalog. Between v1.1.3 and v1.1.5 that gap was eighteen rows and nothing reported it; it closed because somebody advanced the pin by hand. Two copies of one definition, each locally valid and neither reporting the divergence, is the failure mode this migration exists to escape.

  • Raising the alarm needs no list of consumers; clearing it does, and the two are not symmetric. main ahead of the newest tag means every pin is stale whatever tag it names, which is local knowledge. main matching the newest tag means only that a tag holding the current catalog exists – it says nothing about which tag anybody checks out. So clearing reads the consumer workflows and requires every ref: to name that tag; a ref that cannot be read is pending, never current.

  • It reports into one reused issue rather than opening a pull request, because the remedy – name a version, tag it, advance ref: in the consumer – is a maintainer’s decision rather than a data edit, and it closes that issue only once every consumer is confirmed to read the new tag. It does not fail a build, and it stays quiet for a seven-day grace period on both halves, since main ahead of the newest tag is the normal unreleased window under the house cadence and a freshly cut tag needs time to propagate.

hvtiR 1.1.5

  • Routed the five dc (descriptive) jobs in inst/extdata/jobs.json according to an audit, rather than the standing shorthand that all of them were hvtiRtables’ work. That shorthand held for exactly one of the five. dc-tables is the manuscript table job: hvtiRtemplates’ decomposition design pins it to a table-building macro allocated to hvtiRtables, and hv_tbl_summary, hv_man_table and hv_man_table_save cover it, so it stays thin. dc-general, dc-gfup and dc-dead are base-procedure jobs, “look at the data” rather than “produce the manuscript table”. One job of each of the latter two shapes was read in the corpus; both run base procedures only, with no table-building macro. hvtiRutilities ports two of those procedures, so all three stay thin with replaced_by naming hvtiRutilities::proc_contents and/or hvtiRutilities::proc_means; the remainder is tracked as hvtiRutilities#102 and does not block the thin marking. dc-stddiff becomes a build row targeting hvtiRutilities rather than hvtiRtables: the decomposition design decided on 2026-09-03 to ship the successor standardized-differences macro rather than its predecessor, which makes the dependency hvtiRutilities, and the function does not exist yet. Its status and batch are now null, per the schema rule that those hvtiRtemplates scheduling fields are null whenever destination moves off hvtiRtemplates; the work is tracked as hvtiRutilities#103.

hvtiR 1.1.4

  • Corrected inst/extdata/jobs.json disposition for the (dp, variable) job row from scaffold to thin, with replaced_by naming hvtiPlotR::hv_trends and hvtiPlotR::hv_ordinal. A coverage consistency check had flagged this row as the one scaffold disposition in a group of otherwise thin rows. Reading real jobs across several studies confirmed the shape is a descriptive time-trend plot of one variable with no covariates, already served by those two hvtiPlotR exports, so no new template is needed.

  • The scheduled catalog refresh no longer reports success when its script crashed. The workflow tested the exit code against -gt 2, but 0 and 2 are the only codes the script returns deliberately, and an uncaught Python exception exits 1. That passed the test, so the run ended green having written nothing, opened no pull request and raised no annotation: a record that looks checked and is not, which is the failure the schedule exists to prevent. The guard is now an allowlist.

  • cran_version() treats any crandb answer that is not a package record as an unreadable oracle rather than crashing on it. A 200 carrying a JSON array, string or number, or a non-string Version, raised an uncaught AttributeError, which was the exit-1 crash above. Such a row now keeps its recorded value and is reported, like any other unreadable oracle. That includes a 200 carrying an object with no Version: {} and an error envelope are objects, so they passed the shape check and mapped to "", which this module reserves for an authoritative CRAN 404. A recorded version was blanked and no failure was reported.

  • The catalog refresher waits between retried fetches. It retried three times with no delay at all, which is not a retry: the case the attempts exist for is a throttled shared-IP runner, and three requests fired inside a millisecond meet the same closed window three times. The wait now widens with the attempt, matching remote_retry_wait in R/remote.R.

  • An unreadable oracle now says why. fetch() collapsed every exhausted retry to status 0, so a throttle was reported with the wording reserved for permanent causes, “renamed, private, default branch moved, or the file is gone”, and pointed the reader at a rename that never happened. The last status seen survives the attempts and why_unreadable() turns it into the repair it actually implies.

  • --check no longer reports “no drift” for a run that verified nothing. A failed fetch keeps the recorded value, so before == after holds just as firmly when nothing was read as when everything was read and unchanged, and the exit code was 0 either way. It is now 2 when an oracle could not be read, matching the convention the writing path already used.

  • status and batch are now null on every row whose destination is not hvtiRtemplates, except an intake row, which keeps status: "intake" and only loses batch. Both fields are hvtiRtemplates scheduling values, and a row hvtiRtemplates will never ship a template for has nothing to schedule; leaving a value there let rfc read queued on the exact ggRandomForests surface that had already justified marking rf and rfsrc out-of-scope. out-of-scope had no remaining users after the change and is removed as a status value.

hvtiR 1.1.3

  • status() and doctor() report hvtiR’s own version. hvtiR is not a member, so status() walks members() and never showed the version of the package the user is running, and doctor()’s Environment section reported the R version, the platform and pak but not hvtiR. Both issue templates ask for that output, so a report arrived without the one version a maintainer needs first.

  • jobs() names the row and the field when a scalar field in the catalog arrives as an array. vapply()’s own message for that named neither, and the first sign of it was the vignette failing to build. The catalog is hand edited and four of its fields are arrays, so a scalar written as one is a plausible slip.

  • jobs() also names the row and the field when a count field holds something that is not a whole number. as.integer() made that NA with a warning, which reads downstream as a field the catalog simply omits rather than one written wrong. A whole number written as a string still reads.

  • ggBoostedTrees is no longer declared in Suggests. No replaced_by entry names it, so nothing loaded it, but R CMD check installs all of Suggests and it pulls a compiled boostmtree fork; seven CI jobs were building it on every run. ggRandomForests and hvtiPlotR, which the catalog does name, stay.

  • The catalog gains cran_version, dev_version and dev_ahead, refreshed weekly from crandb and each repo’s DESCRIPTION on main by tools/refresh_catalog_versions.py. members.json is unchanged, so no downstream CV sink is affected.

  • New jobs(), the job catalog: every job type found in the studies corpus, routed to the package that owes it. Rendered as the “The job catalog” article.

  • AGENTS.md records the branch rulesets as they actually stand. It claimed the repositories differed only in required_status_checks, and that the pull-request rules were uniform; checked against the API, neither held. The two repositories that disagreed were brought into line rather than the claim being softened: hvtiRbootstrap now requires one approving review like the rest, and hvtiGraphics no longer carries require_code_owner_review with no CODEOWNERS file behind it, and now requires an approving review like the rest. All thirteen repositories under house-style/repos.yml carry an identical protect main apart from required_status_checks, which TemporalHazard, ggRandomForests and hvtiRbootstrap enforce; the reason each of the three does is written down.

hvtiR 1.1.2

  • ggBoostedTrees replaces hvtiBoostmtree in the registry. The boostmtree work moved out of an HVTI-named fork of the modelling package and into a plotting package that sits beside ggRandomForests: it draws boostmtree and BoostMLR fits rather than re-releasing them. The member count is unchanged at eleven. hvtiBoostmtree is retired, so an installed copy is not removed by an update and should be dropped by hand.

  • GitHub issue templates, as YAML forms rather than markdown. Three of them – an installation or update failure, a bug in status(), doctor() or members(), and a change to the family registry – each requiring the diagnostics its own case needs, so an install report cannot arrive without doctor() and sessionInfo() output. The chooser also links every member’s tracker: this repository is the one everyone installs, so it is where reports about the other eleven packages land. .github is in .Rbuildignore, so none of it reaches R CMD check.

  • tools/check_version.py accepts a pull request that leaves Version: alone, provided its entry is filed under this heading. It required every pull request to bump, which the house-style cadence no longer asks for. A version that goes backwards still fails, and an unchanged version with no unreleased heading still fails, which is the rebase collision the guard was built for.

  • NEWS.md version headings move from ## to #, matching every other package in the family. This repository was the only one at level two, which meant the version guard here and the equivalent test in hvtiRbootstrap keyed on different heading levels. Both R’s news reader and pkgdown parse the file to the same 16 and 15 entries as before, so nothing downstream changes.

hvtiR 1.1.1

  • Adds lint.yaml and test-coverage.yaml, the two workflows every other member of the family already ran. This repository was the only one without them, so nothing here caught a style regression or a coverage drop.

  • Clears the 26 lints that adding lint.yaml would have failed on. No .lintr is added: hvtiRutilities runs the same job with no configuration file, so lintr’s defaults – including the 80-character line – are demonstrably achievable here, and this repository stays at the strictest setting in the family. Three lints are genuine false positives and carry a # nolint with the reason instead: unknown in build_specs() is used inside a cli glue string that lintr cannot parse, and SELF_REPO and MIN_R_VERSION are package constants deliberately spelled in upper case so they do not read as locals at their use sites.

  • lint.yaml also brings a docs-current job, which runs roxygenise() and fails on any diff in man/, NAMESPACE or DESCRIPTION. That gate enforces a rule the contributing notes already stated but nothing checked.

hvtiR 1.1.0

  • The vignette described doctor() as adding “two environment checks” when it reports four – R version, platform, pak, and now renv. It had already omitted the pak check before this release. It now also covers reproducible installs and the installer self-report, which the README gained at the same time; the two had drifted apart.

  • update() now reports hvtiR’s own version against GitHub. The installer is not a member of its own registry, so nothing previously mentioned it and a user could stay current on all eleven members while silently running a stale installer. It is reported and never installed: update() cannot update hvtiR in place, because calling it means the namespace is already loaded and the loaded-namespace guard refuses. When the installer is behind, the report names pak::pak("ehrlinger/hvtiR") as the remedy.

  • doctor() reports whether an renv project is active. When one is not, it says so and adds that member versions are not pinned, because install() resolves from GitHub main and two runs a week apart can land on different commits under the same version number. Informational, not a failure: renv is optional and its absence blocks nothing.

  • The README gains a “Reproducible installs” section: renv::init(), hvtiR::install(), renv::snapshot(), and renv::restore() on the other machine. It works because pak records the commit it installed from, which is the field renv reads – and it notes the limit, that a member installed from a local working copy carries no commit for renv to record.

  • dev/specs/ gains a rejected design record for a snapshot()/restore() pair that would have pinned members by commit inside this package. It was specified, approved and then rejected once it was clear renv reads the same RemoteSha field and so has the same ceiling while covering strictly more. The record is kept for the evidence it gathered, including why installing by release or tag was rejected: six of the eleven members have no release at all, and hvtiRlifetables imports TemporalHazard (>= 1.2.0) whose latest release is v1.1.0.

hvtiR 1.0.13

  • Recomposed .claude/house-style.md against house-style-v1 at 64c9e23 (archived standard-2026-08-28-3). Wording only: the Development records section now separates the .Rbuildignore exclusion from git tracking, and says that “one directory” contrasts against the specs/ + specs/plans/ pair rather than implying a per-repository subdirectory. The rule is unchanged.

hvtiR 1.0.12

  • Development records moved from design/ to dev/specs/, adopting the portfolio convention settled in ehrlinger/house-style. Both gain an hvtiverse slug, since the house style names a file <date>-<slug>-<kind>.md and 2026-08-19-design.md carried a date and a kind with nothing in between. ^design$ became ^dev$ in .Rbuildignore, and the README link, a .gitignore comment and the directory’s own README table were repointed.

hvtiR 1.0.11

  • This repo now carries the composed house style and the CI check that enforces it, having been added to the house-style registry. The check fails when .claude/house-style.md drifts from the vault sources it was composed from.
  • hvtiEDAreports is recorded as archived (2026-08-27) in the README and the two design documents that list it as a non-member.

hvtiR 1.0.10

  • The HVTI Recipes row in inst/extdata/catalog.csv now points at ehrlinger/hvtiGraphics, and its homepage at https://ehrlinger.github.io/hvtiGraphics/. The book’s repository was renamed from hvti_graphics; GitHub redirects the repository, but GitHub Pages does not, so the homepage was a dead link rather than a redirected one. The book is not an R package, so it sits outside members() and was missed when the registry was repointed in 1.0.8.

hvtiR 1.0.9

  • .remember/, the scratch directory written by the remember skill, is now excluded from the build and from git. It was listed in neither ignore file, so R CMD build copied it into the tarball and R CMD check reported a “hidden files and directories” NOTE against the working tree. Nothing an installed package exposes changes.

hvtiR 1.0.8

  • The registry now names three repositories by the names GitHub actually serves. hvtiRdatasets became hvtiRdatabuild, and its repository moved with it; ehrlinger/hvtiPropensityScores became ehrlinger/hvtiRpropensity; and ehrlinger/temporal_hazard became ehrlinger/TemporalHazard.
  • Only the first of those broke anything. test-registry-live.R fetches each member’s DESCRIPTION and compares its Package field, so the renamed package failed while the two renamed repositories kept passing on GitHub’s redirect – staleness that works until the redirect stops working.
  • Every member’s package name now matches its repository name. The mapping is still stored rather than derived, because these three names moved in one week and a derived repo would fail silently the next time one does.

hvtiR 1.0.7

  • A pull request whose Version: has not moved past main now fails CI. Two branches bumping to the same version do not conflict in git – the identical line merges silently and only NEWS.md shows a conflict – so the collision was invisible until someone read the release notes. The guard also checks that NEWS.md’s Version: line and its per-release heading agree with DESCRIPTION, and that Date neither goes backwards nor sits in the future. Date is not required to advance: same-day releases are normal here, so demanding a new day would block them.

hvtiR 1.0.6

  • member_deps() records that hvtiRtemplates imports hvtiRutilities. The dependency was added upstream on 2026-08-27; without the entry an update that names only hvtiRtemplates leaves pak to resolve hvtiRutilities from CRAN, where it does not exist.

hvtiR 1.0.5

  • The live registry test no longer reports a throttled CI runner as a defect. fetch_description() gained an attempts argument that retries a failed request with a widening wait, and the live test asks for three attempts. A renamed repository fails exactly as before, only later: retrying separates a transient stall from a persistent one by how long it lasts, which is the only signal available when both surface as the same failed connection.
  • fetch_description() rejects a non-positive or malformed attempts count instead of failing later with an unbound-object error.
  • status() and doctor() are unchanged. They keep the single-attempt default, so a member that cannot be reached still resolves inside the five-second budget rather than three times over.

hvtiR 1.0.4

  • Added inst/extdata/catalog.csv, presentation metadata for every published artifact: the family members from members(), plus the SAS/C hazard code and the HVTI Recipes book, which are not R packages. status, cran and role are stored as fields rather than folded into the blurb, so each consumer can render them in its own house style.

  • Added tests/testthat/test-catalog.R, which ties the catalog’s member rows to members() exactly. A package added to the registry without a catalog entry now fails R CMD check rather than silently shortening the package lists published downstream.

  • Added tools/catalog_to_json.py, which the pkgdown workflow runs to publish members.json alongside the site. Member counts are derived there, so the family-count sentence used by downstream documents is arithmetic rather than prose maintained by hand.

hvtiR 1.0.3

  • status() now detects an older GitHub installation when its version matches main but pak’s recorded RemoteSha does not. The member reports as "stale", so update() reinstalls it. Installs without GitHub commit provenance continue to use version comparison alone.
  • Commit checks use GitHub’s public Atom feeds rather than its rate-limited API. A failed commit check reports "unknown" and its reason is retained for doctor().

hvtiR 1.0.2

  • Remote version checks now use a five-second connection timeout and retain per-repository failure reasons for doctor() to report.
  • doctor() now reports whether pak is available before showing member status.
  • Documentation now explains GitHub as the family’s leading release source without hard-coded CRAN or GitHub versions, and the offline vignette example uses the qualified hvtiR::status() call.
  • The pkgdown site is validated on pull requests with read-only permissions, and deployments remove pages retired by the hvtiverse to hvtiR rename.
  • Source-package tarballs and linked-worktree Git metadata are excluded from package builds.

hvtiR 1.0.1

  • The package is renamed from hvtiverse to hvtiR, matching the hvtiR* prefix the rest of the family uses. Install from ehrlinger/hvtiR.

  • Every exported function is renamed, dropping the package-name prefix that no other family package carries. The package is meant to be called with :: rather than attached:

    was now
    hvtiverse::hvtiverse_install() hvtiR::install()
    hvtiverse::hvtiverse_update() hvtiR::update()
    hvtiverse::hvtiverse_status() hvtiR::status()
    hvtiverse::hvtiverse_doctor() hvtiR::doctor()
    hvtiverse::hvtiverse_members() hvtiR::members()

  • The class returned by status() is renamed hvtiR_status. Unlike the functions it stays package-qualified, because S3 classes are matched by string and a bare status class would collide.

  • No deprecated aliases are provided. hvtiverse 1.0.0 was never depended on outside this family, so there is nothing to migrate.
