rCoreGage 1.1.0

Bug fixes

• count_valid(): multiple unblind_codes only checked first code. grepl(unblind_codes, desc) silently used only the first element when a vector was passed. Fixed with a nested vapply loop that evaluates every code independently.

• collect_findings(): crashed on 0-row data frame. Assigning a scalar to a 0-row data frame column with $<- caused replacement has 1 row, data has 0. Fixed with an nrow > 0 guard; 0-row input now produces a valid summary_log entry with nu = 0.

• build_reports(): all_open.xlsx could not be read back. readxl::read_xlsx(range = "A3:L500000") threw an error on Windows when the range exceeded the actual column count (10 columns). Replaced with skip = 2 which auto-detects the column count.

• build_reports(): date parsing failed for ISO string dates. FIND DATE was stored as an ISO string ("2024-01-15") by openxlsx but converted with as.numeric() only, producing NA for every row. Added .parse_date_col() helper that tries Excel serial number, ISO string, and ddMMMYYYY format in sequence.

• build_reports(): [Was closed but re-appeared] applied to all rows. The auto-note condition checked the already-reassigned status rather than the original status from the previous run. Fixed by preserving old_status before reassignment and checking it in the auto-note logic.

• build_reports(): NA visit IDs failed to match in merge(). merge() in R does not match NA == NA. Fixed using a -1 sentinel value before every merge, restored to NA after.

• build_reports(): duplicate auto-tags accumulated across runs. Re-running multiple times appended the same tag with different dates. Fixed by stripping existing tags of the same type before appending the updated one.

• run_checks(): check scripts could not find collect_findings(). new.env(parent = baseenv()) cut off the rCoreGage namespace from the check script’s lookup chain. Fixed to new.env(parent = environment()) so all exported package functions are visible inside check scripts.

• run_checks(): removed <<- global environment modification. The previous local({}) + <<- pattern was replaced with new.env() + sys.source() to comply with CRAN policy prohibiting modification of the global environment.

CRAN compliance

• All \dontrun{} examples replaced with \donttest{}.
• All @examples blocks are now fully self-contained using tempdir() and system.file() no project setup required to run them.
• stringr removed from Imports field (was declared but never called).
• utils::read.csv() qualified; importFrom(utils, read.csv) added to NAMESPACE.
• utils::globalVariables(".data") added in R/globals.R to suppress R CMD check NOTE for dplyr column references.
• setNames() calls replaced with structure() and names() <- to avoid undeclared dependency on the stats package.
• Bare dplyr column references replaced with .data$ pronoun in run_checks().
• DESCRIPTION: software name 'Excel' quoted; all acronyms (DM, MW, SDTM, ADaM, CDISC) expanded; CDISC reference URL added; Description field restructured to end with a complete sentence.
• Roxygen @description in runner.R: check_<rule_set> angle brackets replaced with check_RULESET to prevent LaTeX PDF build errors.
• vignettes/getting-started.Rmd: hardcoded C:/Projects path replaced with tempdir().
