 ### New
 * Support for clinical breakpoints of 2026 of both CLSI and EUCAST, by adding all of their over 5,700 new clinical breakpoints to the `clinical_breakpoints` data set for usage in `as.sir()`. EUCAST 2026 is now the new default guideline for all MIC and disk diffusion interpretations.

 * Two new `NA` objects, `NA_ab_` and `NA_mo_`, analogous to base R's `NA_character_` and `NA_integer_`, for use in pipelines that require typed missing values
 
 ### Fixes
-* `as.sir()` with `reference_data`: custom guideline names now correctly classify values as R using EUCAST convention (`> breakpoint_R` for MIC, `< breakpoint_R` for disk); custom breakpoints with `host = NA` now serve as a host-agnostic fallback when no host-specific row matches (fixes #239)
-* Fixed multiple bugs in the `parallel = TRUE` mode of `as.sir()` for data frames: (1) PSOCK workers (Windows / R < 4.0) now correctly load the AMR package before processing, with a graceful fallback to sequential mode when the package cannot be loaded; (2) resolved stale-environment issue where the PSOCK path read a frozen copy of `AMR_env` instead of the live one, causing the wrong log entries to be captured; (3) fixed log-entry duplication in the fork-based path (`mclapply`) where pre-existing `sir_interpretation_history` rows were included in every worker's captured log; (4) removed use of non-exported internal functions (`%pm>%`, `pm_pull`, `as.sir.default`) from the worker closure, which made PSOCK workers fail; (5) suppressed per-column progress messages inside workers to prevent interleaved console output; (6) fixed a malformed Unicode escape `\u00a` (3 digits) in the "DONE" status message
+* Fixed multiple bugs in the `parallel = TRUE` mode of `as.sir()` for data frames
 * Fixed a bug in `as.sir()` where values that were purely numeric (e.g., `"1"`) and matched the broad SIR-matching regex would be incorrectly stripped of all content by the Unicode letter filter
 * Fixed a bug in `as.mic()` where MIC values in scientific notation (e.g., `"1e-3"`) were incorrectly handled because the letter `e` was removed along with other Unicode letters; scientific notation `e` is now preserved
 * Fixed a bug in `as.ab()` where certain AB codes containing "PH" or "TH" (such as `ETH`, `MTH`, `PHE`, `PHN`, `STH`, `THA`, `THI1`) would incorrectly return `NA` when combined in a vector with any untranslatable value (#245)
@@ -42,6 +41,7 @@
 * Fixed `as.sir()` ignoring `info = FALSE` for columns with no breakpoints (e.g. cefoxitin against *E. coli*): an operator-precedence bug (`&&`/`||`) caused the "Interpreting MIC values" intro message to fire unconditionally when `nrow(breakpoints) == 0`, regardless of `info`; the progress bar title was also not gated by `info`
 
 ### Updates
+* `as.sir()` with `reference_data`: custom guideline names now correctly classify values as R using EUCAST convention (`> breakpoint_R` for MIC, `< breakpoint_R` for disk); custom breakpoints with `host = NA` now serve as a host-agnostic fallback when no host-specific row matches (#239)
 * Extensive `cli` integration for better message handling and clickable links in messages and warnings (#191, #265)
 * `mdro()` now infers resistance for a _missing_ base drug column from an _available_ corresponding drug+inhibitor combination showing resistance (e.g., piperacillin is absent but required, while piperacillin/tazobactam available and resistant). Can be set with the new argument `infer_from_combinations`, which defaults to `TRUE` (#209). Note that this can yield a higher MDRO detection (which is a good thing as it has become more reliable).
 * `susceptibility()` and `resistance()` gained the argument `guideline`, which defaults to EUCAST, for interpreting the 'I' category correctly.

+\item{reference_data}{A \link{data.frame} to be used for interpretation, which defaults to the \link{clinical_breakpoints} data set. Changing this argument allows for using own interpretation guidelines. This argument must have the same column names as the \link{clinical_breakpoints} data set. Column types are coerced automatically where possible: the \code{mo} column is passed through \code{\link[=as.mo]{as.mo()}}, the \code{ab} column through \code{\link[=as.ab]{as.ab()}}, and plain character, numeric, or logical columns are cast to the expected type. When \code{reference_data} is manually set, the \code{guideline} argument is optional: if omitted (or if its value does not match any row in the custom data), all rows in \code{reference_data} are considered. If \code{guideline} is set to a value that exists in the \code{guideline} column of the custom data, only matching rows are used — useful when a single custom table contains multiple guidelines. For the R classification, the EUCAST convention is used by default: MIC values \verb{> breakpoint_R} and disk diffusion values \verb{< breakpoint_R} are classified as R, with values between \code{breakpoint_S} and \code{breakpoint_R} classified as I (or SDD). Only when using the standard \link{clinical_breakpoints} with a CLSI guideline are the closed-interval rules (\verb{>= breakpoint_R} for MIC, \verb{<= breakpoint_R} for disk) applied; custom \code{reference_data} always uses the open-interval (EUCAST) convention regardless of the guideline name.}
 
 \item{substitute_missing_r_breakpoint}{A \link{logical} to indicate that a missing clinical breakpoints for R (resistant) must be substituted with R - the default is \code{FALSE}. Some (especially CLSI) breakpoints only have a breakpoint for S, meaning that the outcome can only be \code{"S"} or \code{NA}. Setting this to \code{TRUE} will convert the \code{NA}s in these cases to \code{"R"}. Can also be set with the package option \code{\link[=AMR-options]{AMR_substitute_missing_r_breakpoint}}.}

Use a negative value to subtract that number from the available number of cores, e.g. a value of \code{-2} on an 8-core machine means that at most 6 cores will be used. Defaults to \code{-1}. There will never be used more cores than variables to analyse. The available number of cores are detected using \code{\link[parallelly:availableCores]{parallelly::availableCores()}} if that package is installed, and base \R's \code{\link[parallel:detectCores]{parallel::detectCores()}} otherwise.}
