writeAlizer 1.7.3 (2026-2-16)

CRAN policy

• Wrapped one example in \\dontrun{} instead of \\donttest{} to prevent blackswan CRAN check notes when running tests wrapped in \\donttest{}

writeAlizer 1.7.2 (2025-11-24)

new features

• Added keep_stem_before_txt() function to process Coh-Metrix and GAMET filenames that appear as paths
• integrated keep_stem_before_txt() into import_coh() import_gamet() and import_merge_gamet_rb() functions

improved documentation

• Added new vignette that details scoring model development
• Added a pkgdown() site to host documentation on GitHub

writeAlizer 1.7.1 (2025-10-22)

CRAN compliance and offline example guard

• Fixed predict_quality() example to run deterministically when options(writeAlizer.offline = TRUE).
• Example now seeds a local 'example' model with wa_seed_example_models("example", dir = tempdir()) and restores prior options after cleanup.
• Offline runs now fully skip remote file downloads, avoiding spurious errors during R CMD check --as-cran --run-donttest.
• No user-facing API changes.

writeAlizer 1.7.0 (2025-10-21)

Error handling & classes

• Introduced structured errors via rlang::abort():
  • writeAlizer_registry_missing – missing/invalid artifacts.csv.
  • writeAlizer_unknown_model – unknown/unsupported model key (raised by preprocess() / predict_quality()).
  • writeAlizer_download_failed – offline/bad URL/checksum fetch failures.
  • writeAlizer_internal_mismatch – expected submodel count ≠ preprocessing splits.
  • .wa_ensure_file - added classed errors and download retries

Loaders & caching

• .wa_ensure_file():
  • Honors options(writeAlizer.mock_dir=) (preserves subdirs).
  • Supports file:// URLs; clearer offline guidance.
  • Warns on cached checksum mismatch; hard-errors if post-download checksum mismatches.
• .wa_parts_for() validates inputs and uses canonicalized model keys.
• .wa_load_model_rdas() / .wa_load_fits_list():
  • Prefer mock_dir artifacts; load via temp env; pick sensible object (fit, model, etc.).
  • Legacy → v2 name mapping; special-case example.
• .wa_require_pkgs_for_fits() collects deps from model classes and train$modelInfo$library; errors with install hint.
• .wa_validate_import() - checks ID column for duplicates and character type

model_deps()

• Reports required vs missing from Suggests + override options(writeAlizer.required_pkgs=).
• Preserves version qualifiers in required; strips qualifiers for missing.
• Emits copy-paste install.packages() command.
• Tests updated to capture output/messages cleanly (no stray console prints).

Predict API & preprocessing

• Better validation for swapped args and NA/invalid model with actionable messages.
• predict_quality() surfaces unknown model keys (includes canonicalized key).
• Preprocessing preserves row counts/ID; supports v2 varlists and consolidated-split behavior.

Test infrastructure

• Added wa_sample_path() to reliably find inst/extdata in dev/install contexts.
• Network helper hardened; integration tests force offline via options(writeAlizer.offline=TRUE) and avoid HEAD probes.
• Introduced .quiet_eval() to silence messages/warnings in targeted assertions.

Integration & smoke tests

• Integration test now mocks the registry (RDS + RDA) for all exercised models:
  • RB: rb_mod1, rb_mod2, rb_mod3narr_v2, rb_mod3exp_v2, rb_mod3per_v2, rb_mod3all_v2
  • Coh: coh_mod1, coh_mod2, coh_mod3narr, coh_mod3exp, coh_mod3per, coh_mod3all
  • GAMET: gamet_cws1
• Writes matching varlists/fits into mock_dir; verifies prediction columns and mean-column rules.
• rb_mod3all smoke test made offline-only with mocked varlists.

RB/COH import utilities tests

• Coverage for:
  • import_rb() path with SEP=, + read.table(text=readLines()).
  • NaN→NA in character columns; guarded numeric-like conversion (accepts integer where appropriate).
  • Name-based keep/drop assertions driven by sample header.
• Skips only when assets truly missing (via wa_sample_path()).

Misc

• Added a package vignette
• switch to MIT license
• Added/updated tests for:
  • Mismatched expected submodels.
  • Bad registry columns.
  • Checksum errors.
  • Legacy → v2 artifact-name mapping.

writeAlizer 1.6.5 (2025-09-30)

• CRAN policy: ensure graceful failure when Internet resources are unavailable or have changed.
  • Hardened internal downloader to respect offline environments and provide informative messages instead of low-level download.file errors.
  • Tests that require remote artifacts now skip when the concrete URLs/paths are unavailable, while example assets use a seeded mock directory for deterministic, network-free runs.
• No user-facing API changes.

writeAlizer 1.6.4 (2025-09-23)

CRAN policy & documentation improvements

• Replaced writeAlizer:::wa_seed_example_models() with writeAlizer::wa_seed_example_models() in examples and documentation, per CRAN’s guidance to avoid accessing unexported objects.

• Exported wa_seed_example_models() with full documentation:

  • Added @return (returns the created temp path invisibly).
  • Added a small, runnable example that writes only to tempdir() and cleans up; it also restores any prior option value.
  • Documented the temporary side effect of setting options(writeAlizer.mock_dir = <path>).

writeAlizer 1.6.3 (2025-09-17)

CRAN policy & documentation improvements

• DESCRIPTION: acronyms expanded (e.g., CBM), software/package names single-quoted, and method references added with CRAN auto-link format (DOIs).
• Documentation: @return added to import_coh(), import_rb(), import_gamet(), import_merge_gamet_rb().
• Examples: \\dontrun{} replaced with \\donttest{} where needed; fast examples unwrapped; predict_quality() uses a tiny offline 'example' model seeded in tempdir() with cleanup.
• File I/O: no writes to home by default; examples/tests use tempdir(); caching standardized via tools::R_user_dir("writeAlizer","cache").
• New helpers: wa_cache_dir() and wa_cache_clear(ask=) for cache discovery/cleanup.
• Optional deps: new model_deps() reports (does not install) optional packages and prints an install hint; install_model_deps() deprecated.
• Tests: self-cleaning with withr fixtures; no temp detritus; removed deprecated global teardown.

Bug fixes & maintenance

• Stabilized example/test behavior when offline by mocking artifacts via writeAlizer.mock_dir.
• Suppressed noisy pre-processing variance warnings in integration tests.

writeAlizer 1.6.2 (2025-09-14)

• Simplified install_model_deps():
  • Removed unused model argument.
  • Standardized on the options(writeAlizer.require_pkgs_for_fits = function() ...) hook; dropped internal helper.
  • Single Suggests discovery path via utils::packageDescription(..., fields = "Suggests").
  • dry_run = TRUE now returns tokens visibly (character vector); version qualifiers are stripped only for checks/installs.
• Tests updated

writeAlizer 1.6.1 (2025-09-12)

• Test coverage raised to ~82% overall.
• artifact_registry: prefer CSV (inst/metadata/artifacts.csv) and remove legacy in-code fallback table; tighter input validation.
• Quieter tests by silencing download/file messages and using local cache paths during tests.
• More robust install_model_deps():
  • Clear dry-run behavior (returns Suggests tokens or helper-provided list).
  • Strips version qualifiers before installation; installs only truly missing packages.
  • New helper hook via options(writeAlizer.require_pkgs_for_fits = function(model, install, return_pkgs) {...}).
• Documentation: examples added for install_model_deps(); tidied roxygen.
• Stabilized artifact fetching in tests (.wa_ensure_file) with explicit cache dirs and checksum paths.
• Eliminated intermittent warnings from download.file() and file URLs during tests.
• Added/expanded tests for registry filtering, checksum guards, loader utilities, and package-requirement collection.
• Removed unused/legacy code paths exercised only by fallback artifact table.

writeAlizer 1.6.0 (2025-09-12)

• Replaced the ReaderBench mod3 models with their v2 counterparts (e.g., rb_mod3all now calls the rb_mod3all_v2 models).
• Optimized model artifact downloads and added SHA-256 checksum verification (auto re-download on mismatch).
• predict_quality() now returns per-submodel scores and the overall mean column pred_<model>_mean (where applicable).
• import_rb() now keeps ReaderBench features by name using the packaged sample_rb.csv header (first 404), dropping 405+. It falls back to the legacy positional selection if the header is unavailable, reducing brittleness to column reordering.
• Added install_model_deps() helper to install Suggests for a given model.
• CI: wired up GitHub Actions R-CMD-check (Windows/macOS/Linux).

writeAlizer 1.5.0 (2024-02-09)

• Added new genre-specific scoring models for ReaderBench (rb_mod3narr_v2, rb_mod3exp_v2, rb_mod3per_v2, rb_mod3all_v2) and Coh-Metrix (coh_mod3narr, coh_mod3exp, coh_mod3per, coh_mod3all).

writeAlizer 1.4.0 (2024-01-30)

• Added new ReaderBench genre-specific scoring models (rb_mod3narr, rb_mod3exp, rb_mod3per, rb_mod3all).
