Pre-evaluate inline expressions, add format_inline_(), fix print.ab

- All bare {variable}/{expression} in message_()/warning_()/stop_() calls are now pre-evaluated via paste0(), so users without cli/glue never see raw template syntax (mo_source.R, first_isolate.R, join_microorganisms.R, antibiogram.R, atc_online.R) - Add format_inline_() helper: formats a cli-markup string and returns it (not emits it), using cli::format_inline() when available and cli_to_plain() otherwise - Rewrite .onAttach to use format_inline_() for all packageStartupMessage calls; also adds {.topic} link and {.code} markup for option names - print.ab: pre-evaluate function_name via paste0 (no .envir needed), apply highlight_code() to each example bullet for R syntax highlighting - join_microorganisms: pre-evaluate {type} and {nrow(...)} expressions https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b
Replace bare backticks with cli inline markup across all messaging calls

 The `+ 1` accounts for the fact that this PR's squash commit is not yet on the default branch. Set **both** of these files to the resulting version string (and only once per PR, even across multiple commits):

 1. **`DESCRIPTION`** — the `Version:` field
-2. **`NEWS.md`** — the top-level heading `# AMR <version>`
+2. **`NEWS.md`** — **only replace line 1** (the `# AMR <version>` heading) with the new version number; do **not** create a new section. `NEWS.md` is a **continuous log** for the entire current `x.y.z.9nnn` development series: all changes since the last stable release accumulate under that single heading. After updating line 1, append the new change as a bullet under the appropriate sub-heading (`### New`, `### Fixes`, or `### Updates`).
+
+   Style rules for `NEWS.md` entries:
+   - Be **extremely concise** — one short line per item
+   - Do **not** end with a full stop (period)
+   - No verbose explanations; just the essential fact

 If `git describe` fails (e.g. no tags exist in the environment), fall back to reading the current version from `DESCRIPTION` and adding 1 to the last numeric component — but only if no bump has already been made in this PR.

 * Fixed SIR and MIC coercion of combined values, e.g. `as.sir("<= 0.002; S") ` or `as.mic("S; 0.002")` (#252)

 ### Updates
+* Replaced all bare backtick-quoted text in `message_()`, `warning_()`, and `stop_()` calls with proper cli inline markup (`{.arg}`, `{.cls}`, `{.fun}`, `{.pkg}`, `{.code}`); rewrote `print.ab` to use a cli named-vector with `*` bullets and code highlighting when cli is available
+* Added `format_inline_()` helper that formats a cli-markup string and returns it (rather than emitting it), using `cli::format_inline()` when available and `cli_to_plain()` otherwise; used this in `.onAttach` to replace the duplicated cli/non-cli startup message pattern
+* All inline `{variable}` / `{expression}` in messaging calls are now pre-evaluated via `paste0()`, so users without cli or glue never see raw template syntax
 * `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.
 * Added to the `antimicrobials` data set: cefepime/taniborbactam (`FTA`), ceftibuten/avibactam (`CTA`), clorobiocin (`CLB`), kasugamycin (`KAS`), ostreogrycin (`OST`), taniborbactam (`TAN`), thiostrepton (`THS`), xeruborbactam (`XER`), and zorbamycin (`ZOR`)

 * Added 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
+* `message_()`, `warning_()`, `stop_()` now use `cli` markup when available, with plain-text fallback; removed `add_fn` parameter from `message_()`, `warning_()`, `word_wrap()`

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
Claude	51f689b069	Pre-evaluate inline expressions, add format_inline_(), fix print.ab - All bare {variable}/{expression} in message_()/warning_()/stop_() calls are now pre-evaluated via paste0(), so users without cli/glue never see raw template syntax (mo_source.R, first_isolate.R, join_microorganisms.R, antibiogram.R, atc_online.R) - Add format_inline_() helper: formats a cli-markup string and returns it (not emits it), using cli::format_inline() when available and cli_to_plain() otherwise - Rewrite .onAttach to use format_inline_() for all packageStartupMessage calls; also adds {.topic} link and {.code} markup for option names - print.ab: pre-evaluate function_name via paste0 (no .envir needed), apply highlight_code() to each example bullet for R syntax highlighting - join_microorganisms: pre-evaluate {type} and {nrow(...)} expressions https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-19 10:39:26 +00:00
Claude	1dabd4df3d	Replace bare backticks with cli inline markup across all messaging calls - {.arg} for argument names in stop_/warning_/message_ calls - {.cls} after "of class" text in format_class() and elsewhere - {.fun} for function names (replaces `fn()` pattern) - {.pkg} for tidyverse package names (dplyr, ggplot2) - {.code} for code literals (TRUE, FALSE, expressions) - Rewrite print.ab: use cli named-vector with * bullets and code highlighting when cli >= 3.0.0; keep plain-text fallback otherwise - Fix typo in as.sir(): "of must be" -> "or must be" - switch sir.R verbose notes from message() to message_() https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-19 08:35:26 +00:00
Claude	5173009625	Limit push trigger to main in code-coverage workflow Same fix as check-recent: push: branches: '**' caused the workflow to run twice per PR commit (once for push, once for pull_request). Restricting push to [main] ensures coverage runs only once per PR update. https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-19 07:42:42 +00:00
Claude	80e267f0d1	Limit push trigger to main in check-recent workflow push: branches: '**' caused both the push event (9-worker matrix) and the pull_request event (1-worker matrix) to fire simultaneously on every PR commit. Restricting push to [main] means PR pushes only trigger the pull_request path (1 worker), while direct pushes to main still get the full 9-worker matrix. https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-19 07:40:09 +00:00
Claude	05d3ca941f	Replace glue-style dynamic markup with paste0() construction {.field {variable}} and {.cls {variable}} patterns rely on glue evaluation which is not safe in a zero-dependency package. Replace all four occurrences with paste0("{.field ", var, "}") so the value is baked into the markup string before reaching message_()/stop_(). https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-19 07:29:04 +00:00

Claude	7218812c99	Update NEWS.md to continuous log + add concise style rules to CLAUDE.md NEWS.md is now a single continuous log under one heading per dev series, not a new section per version bump. CLAUDE.md documents: only replace line 1 (heading), append new entries, keep them extremely concise with no trailing full stop. Merged 9035 and 9036 entries into one section; condensed verbose 9036 bullets; added CI workflow change entry. https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-18 23:23:20 +00:00
Claude	eae14d44bf	Restrict dev-versions and old-tinytest CI to main branch only Both workflows were triggering on every push to every branch. Narrowed push trigger to [main] so they only run after merging, not on every feature/PR branch push. https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-18 23:09:02 +00:00
Claude	11c175ae19	Slim CI matrix for PRs to ubuntu-latest / r-release only For pull requests, check-recent now runs a single job (ubuntu-latest, r-release) via a setup job that emits the matrix as JSON. On push and schedule the full matrix is unchanged (devel + release on all OSes, oldrel-1 through oldrel-4). Also removed the pull_request trigger from check-recent-dev-pkgs; the dev-packages check only needs to run on push/schedule. https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-18 23:06:36 +00:00
Claude	ec3b12b937	Fix regexec() calls: remove perl=TRUE unsupported in older R regexec() only gained the perl argument in R 4.1.0. The CI matrix covers oldrel-1 through oldrel-4 (R 3.x/4.0.x), so perl=TRUE caused an 'unused argument' error on every message_() call in those environments. All four affected regexec() calls use POSIX-extended compatible patterns, so dropping perl=TRUE is safe. https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-18 22:56:44 +00:00
Claude	5ecbc9001e	Fix {.topic} to use required pkg::topic format with display text {.topic} in cli requires a package-qualified topic reference to generate a valid x-r-help:pkg::topic URI. Bare {.topic AMR-options} produced a malformed x-r-help:AMR-options URI (no package prefix). Use the [display_text](pkg::topic) form throughout: {.topic [AMR-options](AMR::AMR-options)} {.topic [AMR-deprecated](AMR::AMR-deprecated)} The hyphen in the topic name is fine as a URI string even though AMR::AMR-options is not a valid R symbol expression. The fallback handler in format_message() already handles the [text](uri) form by extracting the display text, so plain-text output is unchanged. https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-18 22:47:38 +00:00
Claude	8760c6d85a	Add {.topic} markup for non-function help page references Replace {.code ?AMR-options} and backtick-style ?AMR-options / ?AMR-deprecated references with proper {.topic AMR-options} / {.topic AMR-deprecated} cli markup in count.R, interpretive_rules.R, proportion.R, and zz_deprecated.R. Add {.topic} fallback handler to format_message() in aa_helper_functions.R: plain-text environments render {.topic foo} as ?foo, and the [text](topic) link form extracts just the display text (same pattern as {.help}). Also convert remaining backtick function/arg references in proportion.R to {.help [{.fun ...}](AMR::...)}, {.arg}, and {.code} markup for consistency. Note: zzz.R intentionally keeps the backtick form since its startup message goes through packageStartupMessage() which bypasses our cli infrastructure. https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-18 22:41:43 +00:00
Claude	3928a3de55	Fix {.help} markup to use correct cli link format [{.fun fn}](AMR::fn) Replace all instances of {.help AMR::fn}() (incorrect format with manual parentheses outside the link) with {.help [{.fun fn}](AMR::fn)} which is the correct cli hyperlink syntax: the display text [{.fun fn}] renders the function name with parentheses automatically, and (AMR::fn) is the link target. Also update the plain-text fallback handler in aa_helper_functions.R to extract the display text from the [text](topic) markdown link format, so that non-cli environments show just the function name (e.g. `fn()`), not the raw link markup. Dynamic cases in amr_selectors.R and mo_property.R also updated. https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-18 22:37:46 +00:00
Claude	10c00ff606	Implement cli::code_highlight() for R code examples in messages (issue #191 ) Add highlight_code() helper that wraps cli::code_highlight() when cli >= 3.0.0 is available, falling back to plain code otherwise. Apply it to all inline R code examples embedded in message/warning/stop strings across the package. Also convert remaining backtick-quoted function and argument references in messaging calls to proper cli markup: {.help AMR::fn}(), {.arg arg}, {.code expr}, and {.pkg pkg} throughout ab.R, ab_from_text.R, av_from_text.R, amr_selectors.R, count.R, custom_antimicrobials.R, custom_microorganisms.R, interpretive_rules.R, mo.R, mo_property.R, sir.R, sir_calc.R. Fixes #191 https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-18 22:23:39 +00:00
Claude	b7edf3e548	Require cli >= 3.0.0 for cli_inform/cli_warn/cli_abort availability checks cli_inform, cli_warn, and cli_abort were introduced in cli 3.0.0. Add min_version = "3.0.0" (as character) to all four pkg_is_available("cli") checks so older cli versions fall back to base R messaging. https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-18 22:14:30 +00:00
Claude	0cc154257a	Qualify all {.help} tags with AMR:: and convert backtick ?func references - Add AMR:: namespace prefix and trailing () to all {.help} cli markup so they render as clickable help links (e.g. {.help AMR::as.sir}()) - Convert `?funcname` backtick-quoted help references to {.help AMR::funcname}() in aa_helper_functions.R, custom_eucast_rules.R, interpretive_rules.R, key_antimicrobials.R, mo.R, plotting.R, resistance_predict.R, and sir.R - Skipped `?proportion` in sir_calc.R as 'proportion' is not exported https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-18 20:06:52 +00:00
Claude	4798d2c55e	Replace {.fun} with {.help} for all exported functions in messaging All function names referenced via {.fun …} in cli-style messages are exported in NAMESPACE, so {.help …} is the appropriate markup — it renders as a clickable help link rather than plain function styling. https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-18 16:06:30 +00:00
Claude	ad31fba556	Modernise messaging infrastructure with cli support Rewrites message_(), warning_(), stop_() to use cli::cli_inform(), cli::cli_warn(), and cli::cli_abort() when the cli package is available, with a fully functional plain-text fallback for environments without cli. Key changes: - New cli_to_plain() helper converts cli inline markup ({.fun}, {.arg}, {.val}, {.field}, {.cls}, {.pkg}, {.href}, {.url}, etc.) to readable plain-text equivalents for the non-cli fallback path - word_wrap() simplified: drops add_fn, ANSI re-index algorithm, RStudio link injection, and operator spacing hack; returns pasted input unchanged when cli is available - stop_() no longer references AMR_env$cli_abort; uses pkg_is_available() directly; passes sys.call() objects to cli::cli_abort() call= argument - Removed add_fn parameter from message_(), warning_(), and word_wrap() - All call sites across R/ updated: add_fn arguments removed, some paste0- based string construction converted to cli glue syntax ({.fun as.mo}, {.arg col_mo}, {n} results, etc.) - cli already listed in Suggests; no DESCRIPTION dependency changes needed https://claude.ai/code/session_01XHWLohiSTdZvCutwD7ag2b	2026-03-18 12:10:17 +00:00
