CRAN review response. DESCRIPTION
now includes the EcoEvoRxiv method reference, remaining
\dontrun{} examples were replaced with CRAN-preferred
executable structures, and reconcile_export() now defaults
to a unique temporary directory rather than the current working
directory.
Stable Software Note release. Version 1.0.0 declares the package-ready release for Ecography Software Note submission, with release date 2026-06-16; no API-breaking changes were introduced relative to 0.5.1.
CRAN preparation. Release metadata, README installation guidance, and bundled-data citation links were updated for the first CRAN submission.
pkgdown publishing guard. The pkgdown build wrapper now removes loose agent-instruction pages from the generated site and search index before GitHub Pages deployment.
pkgdown workflow fix.
dependencies: '"most"' in
.github/workflows/pkgdown.yaml tells pak to skip
Enhances (i.e. datelife) during lockfile
resolution. The workflow_dispatch rebuild no longer fails
on “Can’t find package called datelife”. The day-to-day path is
unaffected: GitHub Pages still serves the docs straight from
main:/docs/.
comparing-tree-backends.Rmd gains a “Branch
lengths and time-calibration” section with a per-backend
comparison table and a practical decision tree for choosing between
fishtree / clootl / rtrees /
datelife / Grafen pseudo-time when you need real
divergence-time branch lengths. Surfaces the alternative path when
datelife isn’t installable on a given system.
This release adds two opt-in Global Names Architecture backends, a phylogenetic-meta-analysis workflow, and a substantial round of tree-handling audit metadata. All existing API contracts are preserved unless explicitly called out under Breaking changes.
pr_normalize_names(parser = "gnparser")
routes parsing through rgnparser, the R
wrapper for the gnparser Go binary. Set
parser = "gnparser" for hardened parsing of hybrid signs,
complex multi-author year strings, and Open Tree homonym / rank flag
parentheticals. Returns the same shape and
normalisation_log attribute as the internal cascade, so the
two are drop-in interchangeable. Default stays
parser = "internal" (zero-dependency).
authority = "gnverifier" is
accepted by every reconcile_* function
(reconcile_data(), reconcile_tree(),
reconcile_multi(), reconcile_to_trees(),
reconcile_trees()). It routes the synonym stage through the
Global Names verifier
over HTTP (~100 sources in one round-trip) instead of a local taxadb
database. No ~100 MB local cache; requires network access and
httr2. Default stays authority = "col"
(taxadb).
pr_get_tree() / pr_date_tree()
now return result$mapping — one row per unique
input species, with the user-facing name, normalised name, backend query
name, returned tree tip, match type, and rtrees placement status when
available. Replaces ad-hoc reconstruction from $matched +
$unmatched + backend-specific metadata (#73).
TNRS match metadata in
result$mapping — four new columns
(tnrs_number_matches, tnrs_is_synonym,
tnrs_approximate_match, tnrs_flags) carry the
structured output of rotl::tnrs_match_names(). Homonyms
(tnrs_number_matches > 1) trigger a one-shot warning
naming the affected species.
result$backend_meta$placement (rtrees
only) — per-input table with input_name,
tree_name, placement_status
(exact / genus_added /
family_added / skipped /
unmatched). Filter to
placement_status == "exact" to drop grafted tips from a
sensitivity analysis (#74).
TNRS substitutions are now auditable —
result$backend_meta$tnrs_replacements lists every name TNRS
changed; a one-shot warning shows the first three. Silent name
correction is no longer possible (#72).
Multi-tree reporting fields on
pr_get_tree() — backend_meta gains
n_requested, tip_set_consistent, and
dropped_per_tree (#76).
pr_get_tree() gains
resolve_polytomies and branch_lengths
arguments. When the topology comes from rotl,
pr_get_tree(species, source = "rotl", resolve_polytomies = TRUE, branch_lengths = "grafen")
returns a tree ready for metafor::rma.mv(). Defaults
preserve back-compat.
New: pr_phylo_cor(tree) — thin
wrapper around ape::vcv(tree, corr = TRUE) that turns the
tree into the phylogenetic correlation matrix accepted by
metafor::rma.mv(), MCMCglmm::MCMCglmm(),
glmmTMB::glmmTMB(), and brms::brm() as a
random-effect structure. Accepts phylo,
multiPhylo, or pr_tree_result input.
New vignette: “Phylogenetic meta-analysis with rotl +
prepR4pcm” — end-to-end walk from species names through rotl
topology, bifurcating + Grafen branches, correlation matrix, to
metafor::rma.mv(). Uses a 13-species cross-taxon subset of
Pottier et al. 2022’s thermal-tolerance dataset.
reconcile_augment() keeps grafted trees
ultrametric. When the input tree is ultrametric and
branch_length != "zero", a post-graft correction ensures
the augmented tips reach the present, so downstream PGLS / BM / OU
models see a valid tree. Regression test pinned (PR #105, Losia
Lagisz).
pr_get_tree() matched / unmatched
accounting now enforces three invariants: matched
⊆ unique(input), unmatched ⊆
unique(input), and
|matched| + |unmatched| == |unique(input)|. The
matched slot preserves the user’s original input format
(underscores stay underscores). Previously, TNRS-resolved names could
leak through (#73).
pr_get_tree(source = "clootl") is now ~250×
faster on large bird species lists (3.6 s vs > 15 min for
10,597 birds; #70). TNRS preflight no longer runs for clootl by default
(clootl uses Clements taxonomy, not OTL); force = TRUE is
passed to clootl::extractTree() so a single unmatched
species doesn’t error out the whole call.
pr_get_tree(source = "clootl") accepts
underscore-separated names by converting them to the
space-separated form clootl expects, while preserving the
user’s originals in $matched / $unmatched
(#75).
pr_get_tree(source = "clootl", n_tree = 1)
no longer requires library(clootl) — the wrapper
temporarily attaches the namespace for the duration of the
call.
reconcile_apply() validates
species_col before filtering data, so a typo
errors clearly instead of silently returning zero data rows.
reconcile_multi() no longer
undercounts dataset-specific matches when the same species
appears in different formats across datasets
(e.g. Homo_sapiens vs Homo sapiens). The
cascade gains a multi_x = TRUE mode; the mapping gains the
documented in_<dataset> logical columns (#10, Ayumi
Mizuno).
reconcile_summary() no longer auto-prints
when assigned. The formatted report lives on the returned
object’s formatted_text slot and renders via
print.reconciliation_summary() (#12, Ayumi
Mizuno).
Trailing parenthetical leak fixed in name
normalisation. The internal cascade now strips any trailing
parenthetical, catching Open Tree’s
(species in domain Eukaryota) and similar TNRS
leak-through.
pr_lookup_authority() and
pr_ensure_db() no longer print raw
{.pkg ...} / {.code ...} cli template strings;
errors route through cli::cli_abort() (#4, Eduardo
Santos).
Removed V.PhyloMaker3 from
Suggests and Remotes — the repo doesn’t exist.
vphylomaker augment backend now prefers
V.PhyloMaker2 with a fallback to
V.PhyloMaker.
New cover prose on the README and landing page —
names both halves of the prerequisite that prepR4pcm
solves: reconcile names and retrieve / date trees. New “Quick
example — fetching a tree” snippet.
Three new vignettes (in addition to the meta-analysis one above):
reconcile_data() → pr_get_tree() →
pigauto::multi_impute_trees().db-assembly-workflow_mammals, Santiago Ortega; closes #11)
— combining Amniote / PanTHERIA / TetrapodTraits, reconciling, applying
manual corrections, producing a tree-aligned species-level data
frame.?pr_get_tree and
?pr_tree_compare @references are now
spelled out with DOIs (#79, #80, Jimuel Celeste, Jr.). Every author-year
citation in the help text has a full reference (Jetz, Rabosky, Upham,
Sanchez Reyes, Chang, Michonneau, Kuhner & Felsenstein, Robinson
& Foulds).
?mammal_tree_example cites Upham et
al. 2019 (#11). The bundled 5,987-tip mammal phylogeny is
documented as a subset of the VertLife mammal phylogeny, with the 76
X_-prefixed Mesozoic stem-mammal fossils described as
products of the Upham et al. “backbone-and-patch” framework.
?pr_date_tree clarifies
n_dated > 1 semantics — one topology with
n_dated = 50 returns 50 chronograms sharing the topology
but differing in branch lengths (one per DateLife source), not 50
different topologies.
getting-started.Rmd makes explicit
that col, itis, gbif,
ncbi, ott, itis_test are taxadb
authority names, not R packages, and that ott (Open Tree
Taxonomy) differs from rotl (the R package that retrieves
trees from Open Tree of Life). Expanded mismatch-types section with
worked examples for formatting / synonymy / typos.
Several rounds of README and vignette feedback from Mal Lagisz (#53, #61, #64) — clearer Features definitions, typical-workflow diagram, Quick example, sentence-level revisions throughout. Detailed feedback from Ayumi Mizuno (#1) seeded the multi-row species and asymmetric datasets vignette subsections.
Logo redesign — tree tips align with matrix rows. Favicons regenerated.
New author: Bhavya Jain added to
Authors@R and the citation block.
httr2 and rgnparser added to
Suggests — for the new
authority = "gnverifier" and
parser = "gnparser" backends respectively.
CI workflow trimmed to pull_request
+ workflow_dispatch only, Linux-only by default. The
workflow_dispatch trigger has an os input set
to full before a release / CRAN submission for the full
macOS / Windows / Linux × 3 R-version matrix. Saves ~85% of GitHub
Actions minutes.
datelife moved from Suggests +
Remotes to Enhances — datelife was
archived from CRAN in 2024 and has a heavy transitive dep tree pak’s
resolver can’t install on clean CI. Users opt in with
pak::pak("phylotastic/datelife").
piggyback allowlisted in the
Suggests-vs-Remotes consistency test.
dplyr, readr, and
stringr moved from Suggests to
Imports (used routinely in the package).
tests/testthat/test-pr_lookup_gnverifier.R — gnverifier
helper (happy-path mix, network-failure degradation,
db_version warning, mismatched-response shape,
session-cache hit, missing-httr2 abort, live integration against
verifier.globalnames.org).tests/testthat/test-pr_normalize.R — gnparser backend
(mocked + live).test_that()
blocks, ~2,737 expectations) carried forward unchanged.This release closes out the multi-round tree-handling overhaul started at issue #42 (Ayumi Mizuno) and tracked at issue #48. Across Rounds 4 - 8 the package gained:
pr_get_tree(..., n_tree, source = "auto").reconcile_augment().pr_date_tree()) for
adding chronogram calibrations to existing topologies.::multi_impute_trees().pr_cite_tree() for formatting citations (text /
markdown / bibtex).pr_tree_compare() with bipartition-matched
branch-length correlation.pr_get_tree_status() for backend health probing.pr_tree_cache_*) for repeat
retrievals.reconcile_augment() gains two new
sources:
source = "vphylomaker" – plant-only alternative to
rtrees, via the GitHub packages V.PhyloMaker3
(preferred) or V.PhyloMaker2 (fallback). Both share the
same phylo.maker(sp.list, tree, scenarios) API. Use this
when you want explicit V.PhyloMaker scenario control (S1 / S2 / S3, see
Jin & Qian 2019/2022).source = "uphylomaker" – universal (plants + animals)
alternative via U.PhyloMaker (Jin & Qian 2023,
Plant Diversity). Same phylo.maker convention plus
a gen.list argument; the helper auto-loads
U.PhyloMaker::nodes.info.1 when not supplied.pr_tree_compare(). The previous
Pearson-on-sorted-edges approximation is replaced with a proper
bipartition match: for each edge in tree A, the corresponding edge in
tree B is the one splitting the same set of tips. Edges whose
bipartition isn’t shared are dropped from the correlation.check_ultrametric = TRUE argument on
pr_get_tree(), pr_date_tree(), and
reconcile_augment(). After producing the tree,
runs ape::is.ultrametric() and warns if the backend was
expected to produce an ultrametric tree but didn’t. Skipped for
rotl (synthesis topology, no real branch lengths) and for
the internal augment with branch_length = "zero" (which
breaks ultrametricity by design). Does not modify the tree – to force
ultrametricity, call phytools::force.ultrametric() or
ape::chronos() on the result yourself.pr_date_tree() (or skip dating
entirely).pr_tree_compare()
end-to-end, including how to read the pairwise Jaccard / Robinson-Foulds
/ branch-length matrices and what to do for each disagreement pattern.
Closes the docs gap left by Round 6.Remotes: simplification. Daijiang Li
merged a Remotes: daijiang/megatrees entry upstream in
rtrees (daijiang/rtrees#10),
so we no longer need to carry the megatrees Remotes entry ourselves.
Dropped from DESCRIPTION and the
.transitive_remotes_allowlist test fixture.options(prepR4pcm.tnrs_warning_shown = TRUE). Mainly a fix
for source = "auto", which calls each candidate backend in
turn.taxon and n_tree, tree comparisons across
exotic shapes (no edge lengths, 3+ trees, named arguments),
min_match boundary values, end-to-end pipelines including
pr_get_tree -> pr_cite_tree, multi-tree provenance
preservation, cache save/load round-trip, and the auto
dispatcher’s auto_attempts / auto_chose
metadata.pr_get_tree().
Pass cache = TRUE to memoise the request on disk;
subsequent identical calls are instant. New companion functions:
pr_tree_cache_dir(path = NULL) – get/set the cache
directory. Defaults to tools::R_user_dir(); can be set to a
project-local path so the cache travels with the analysis.pr_tree_cache_status() – list cache entries with
timestamps and sizes.pr_tree_cache_clear(confirm, source) – wipe the cache;
optionally restrict to a single backend.pr_get_tree_status(check_network) health
probe. One-call report listing every backend with installed /
version / needs_network / reachable / install hint. Useful for
first-time users figuring out which backends are available.pr_tree_compare(...) for comparing
trees. Tip-set Jaccard, Robinson-Foulds distance on the shared
subtree, branch-length agreement. Accepts phylo,
multiPhylo, or pr_tree_result inputs
(positional or named).tnrs argument on pr_get_tree():
"auto" (default; runs TNRS for clootl + fishtree to lift
their match rates), "always" (run regardless),
"never" (skip). Silently skipped with a one-shot warning
when rotl is not installed.source = "auto" fall-through
dispatcher. Tries installed backends in priority order; returns
the first that resolves at least min_match of the species
(default 0.8) or the best of the lot if none meets the threshold. New
min_match argument controls the threshold.digest added to Suggests (used by the new
cache-key hashing).pr_get_tree() gains a unified
n_tree parameter so users can request a posterior
sample (multiPhylo) when a backend supports one. Default
n_tree = 1L (back-compat). When
n_tree > 1:
"rotl" – still returns 1 (the synthesis tree); a
one-shot warning explains that no posterior is available."rtrees" – n_tree is informational only;
the number of returned trees is fixed by the selected mega-tree and any
backend-specific arguments forwarded through ...."clootl" – n_tree = 1 calls
clootl::extractTree(); n_tree > 1 calls
clootl::sampleTrees(count = n_tree) and requires the
AvesData repo."fishtree" – switches to
fishtree_complete_phylogeny() for a multi-tree stochastic
polytomy resolution."datelife" – (new backend; see below) returns one
chronogram per database source, capped at n_tree.New backend:
pr_get_tree(source = "datelife"). Universal
database of pre-computed chronograms (Sanchez Reyes et al. 2024,
Syst. Biol. 73:470). Returns a single SDM-summary chronogram by
default; n_tree > 1 returns a multiPhylo of per-source
candidate chronograms. Backend lives in Suggests +
Remotes (datelife was archived from CRAN in 2024 – install
with pak::pak("phylotastic/datelife")).
New function:
pr_date_tree(tree, n_dated, ...). Wraps
datelife::datelife_use() to time-calibrate an existing
topology. Returns the same pr_tree_result shape as
pr_get_tree() so downstream consumers (notably pigauto) treat retrieved
and dated trees interchangeably.
New function:
pr_cite_tree(result, format = ...). Formats a
citation block (text / markdown / bibtex) for a
pr_tree_result, including per-tree source citations when
the result is a multi-tree posterior. Helpful for paper methods
sections, figure legends, and PR descriptions.
Per-tree provenance metadata. Every
pr_tree_result now carries
backend_meta$tree_provenance: a list with one entry per
returned tree (citation, calibration method, tip count). For
multiPhylo results, tree[[i]] pairs naturally
with backend_meta$tree_provenance[[i]]. Designed to feed
pigauto::multi_impute_trees().
Cross-package vignette: “From species names to a
phylogenetic posterior – prepR4pcm + pigauto”. End-to-end
walkthrough showing how to chain reconcile_data() ->
pr_get_tree() (or pr_date_tree()) ->
pigauto::multi_impute_trees() -> pooled inference via
Rubin’s rules. The vignette uses mock data and eval = FALSE
chunks for the parts that need pigauto / datelife installed.
Cross-link with pigauto.
?pr_get_tree, ?pr_date_tree, and
?reconcile_augment mention pigauto in
@seealso. The pkgdown reference index gains a “Sister
package: pigauto” callout.
reconcile_augment() gains
source = c("internal", "rtrees") (default
"internal", the existing genus-level grafting behaviour)
and taxon arguments. With source = "rtrees",
grafting is delegated to
rtrees::get_tree(tree_by_user = TRUE), which uses your tree
as the backbone and lets rtrees’ taxon-specific reference
tree place each missing species via genus / family information. Helpful
when the genus is absent from your tree but present in
rtrees’ reference – the internal mode would skip these.
Returns the same result shape (with meta$source recording
which backend was used). Refs #42 (Ayumi Mizuno).
pr_get_tree() gains a fourth backend,
source = "fishtree", exposing the time-calibrated fish-only
phylogeny of Rabosky et al. (2018, Nature 559:392) via the CRAN
package . Returns a chronogram by default; pass
type = "phylogram" for the uncalibrated version. Captures
fishtree’s own warning text into
backend_meta$warnings so the matched/unmatched report is
honest.
pr_get_tree() connects a reconciled species list to
an external phylogenetic resource and returns a pruned candidate tree
plus a matching report (matched / unmatched / source / backend
metadata). Four backends ship:
"rotl" – Open Tree of Life synthesis tree (universal
coverage, via the CRAN package )."rtrees" – taxon-specific mega-trees (bird, mammal,
fish, amphibian, reptile, plant, shark/ray, bee, butterfly), via the
GitHub package (pak::pak("daijiang/rtrees"))."clootl" – bird-only phylogenies in current Clements
taxonomy, via the GitHub package
(pak::pak("eliotmiller/clootl"))."fishtree" – fish-only time-calibrated phylogeny, via
the CRAN package .Accepts a reconciliation object, a character vector, or a data frame as input. Each backend is loaded only on demand – asking for a backend you don’t have installed produces a helpful migration error with the install command. Refs #42 (Ayumi Mizuno).
For honesty / handoff so future contributors don’t lose track:
reconcile_multi() may undercount
dataset-specific matches when names differ only by formatting (Round 4
candidate; needs root-cause debug).reconcile_summary() prints even
when assigned to a variable (Round 4 candidate; small UX fix, needs
quiet / print_report argument).n_tree parameter on pr_get_tree() so each
backend can return a posterior sample (multiPhylo) when one is
available; a new pr_date_tree() function wrapping
datelife::datelife_use() for time-calibrating user
topologies; a datelife retrieval backend on
pr_get_tree(); per-tree provenance metadata; and a
cross-package vignette documenting the prepR4pcm -> pigauto pipeline
for posterior-tree PCMs.New vignette “Assembling mammal trait databases for
phylogenetic comparative models”
(db-assembly-workflow_mammals), contributed by Santiago
Ortega. Walks through combining three mammal trait sources (Amniote,
PanTHERIA, TetrapodTraits), reconciling the unique species names against
a phylogenetic tree, applying manual corrections, and collapsing the
matched records into a model-ready species-level data frame aligned with
a pruned tree. Closes #11.
Four new bundled example datasets used by the new vignette:
mammal_amniote_example (Myhrvold et al. 2015),
mammal_pantheria_example (Jones et al. 2009),
mammal_tetrapodtraits_example (Moura et al. 2024), and
mammal_tree_example (a 5,987-tip mammal phylogeny, source
to be confirmed with the contributor).
dplyr, readr, and stringr
moved from Suggests to Imports, reflecting
that they are used routinely in the package’s vignettes and R code
rather than being optional.
pr_valid_authorities() no longer lists
iucn, tpl, fb, slb,
or wd. Empirical testing against taxadb v22.12
(the database the package depends on) showed that iucn
errors with a schema mismatch and the other four are not
taxadb providers at all. Anyone passing one of these values
was getting a hard error from inside taxadb; the call sites
now produce a targeted migration message pointing users at the working
authorities. (Identified in follow-up to #5, Ayumi Mizuno.)
If you were passing one of the removed authorities, switch to one of
"col", "itis", "gbif",
"ncbi", or "ott", or pass
authority = NULL to skip synonym resolution.
authority = "ott" (Open Tree of Life) is supported
again, after Round 1 dropped it on incomplete diagnosis. The original
failure was at taxadb::td_create() with the default schema
set c("dwc", "common") — taxadb v22.12 does
not ship a common schema for OTT. We now restrict the
schema to "dwc" (the only schema the cascade actually
consumes), unblocking OTT and potentially other providers that lack a
common schema. Re-closes #5 properly.
authority = "itis_test" exposes
taxadb’s small bundled testing dataset. Useful for examples
and unit tests without a network round-trip.
pr_lookup_authority() and
pr_ensure_db() no longer print raw {.pkg ...}
/ {.code ...} cli template strings in their error messages.
The functions now route errors through cli::cli_abort(),
which interprets the markup. Closes #4 (Eduardo Santos).
The matching cascade no longer prints
Stage 3/4: Synonym resolution (...) when
authority = NULL, or
Stage 4/4: Fuzzy matching (...) when
fuzzy = FALSE. Stage numbering is computed from the active
stages only, so a call with authority = NULL, fuzzy = FALSE
reports Stage 1/2: Exact ... and
Stage 2/2: Normalised .... Previously, the fixed
Stage X/4 labels suggested matches were being made at
synonym/fuzzy stages even when they were skipped. Closes #13 (Ayumi
Mizuno).
reconcile_tree() and reconcile_data()
previously dropped manual overrides silently when the override
name_x was not in the data or name_y was not
in the target. The reconciliation object now carries an
unused_overrides slot listing every rejected override with
a reason (name_x_not_in_data,
name_y_not_in_target, or already_matched), and
the functions emit a cli_alert_warning() pointing the user
at it. reconcile_summary() includes a count and a per-row
listing in the verbose section. Closes #8a (Ayumi Mizuno).
reconcile_crosswalk() now accepts .csv,
.tsv, or .txt (tab-delimited) file paths in
addition to data frames. The format is inferred from the file extension.
Closes #8b (Ayumi Mizuno).Installation instructions are standardised on
pak::pak(...) across the README and the Getting
started vignette. Closes #6 (Ayumi Mizuno).
The @param authority block in
reconcile_tree() / reconcile_data() now
reflects which authorities are actually supported. tpl,
slb, wd, iucn, fb
are flagged as experimental (“coverage and current availability vary”);
ott is documented as not supported in the current default
taxadb release.
The bird-workflow vignette now guards its
caper and MCMCglmm chunks with
eval = requireNamespace(..., quietly = TRUE), so the
vignette knits cleanly for users (and CRAN check environments) without
those Suggests packages installed.
Added a hex sticker logo (man/figures/logo.svg /
logo.png) to the README and the pkgdown site.
pkgdown site rebuilt to fix stale search-index links that pointed
to 404 pages for reconcile_override_batch and
reconcile_suggest. Closes #7 (Ayumi Mizuno).
x to reconciliation:
reconcile_apply(), reconcile_augment(),
reconcile_export(), reconcile_mapping(),
reconcile_merge(), reconcile_override(),
reconcile_override_batch(), reconcile_plot(),
reconcile_report(), reconcile_review(),
reconcile_splits_lumps(), reconcile_suggest(),
and reconcile_summary(). This fixes #3 (Santiago Ortega),
where reconcile_apply(result = res_tree, ...) raised an
“unused argument” error because the parameter was named x.
Positional calls (reconcile_apply(res_tree, ...)) continue
to work unchanged; only code that passed the reconciliation as
x = ... needs updating to
reconciliation = .... reconcile_diff(x, y) is
intentionally unchanged — both arguments are reconciliation objects in a
symmetric comparison, so neither is the “reconciliation”.how = "inner" vs
how = "left" for focal study × reference database

guidance in a @details block, covering pairwise row

canonical workflow code block, a “Key concepts” section (reconciliation

function-family pointers.authority option in
reconcile_data() and reconcile_tree() is now
glossed in one line ("col" = Catalogue of Life,
"gbif" = GBIF Backbone, etc.) to help users choose without
consulting the taxadb manual.reconcile_augment() gained a “When to use this” section
with explicit cautions about reporting augmented tips, running
sensitivity analyses, and preferring PhyloMaker / TACT for
publication-grade augmentation.reconcile_suggest() now explains Levenshtein similarity
and the 60/40 genus/epithet weighting in plain language.reconcile_mapping() documents every column of the
returned tibble, including when name_resolved is
NA and the full match_type vocabulary.reconciliation S3 class

pr_lookup_authority() via
local_mocked_bindings() so the synonym-resolution branch is
exercised without hitting taxadb or the network, covering

scenarios for col / itis / gbif /
ncbi.test-workflows.R chains functions end-to-end the way
real users do, including the #495 asymmetric pattern (750 shared / 96
only_x / 10,400 only_y).test-robustness.R covers adversarial inputs: empty
data, all-NA species columns, factor columns, Unicode

smoke tests, invalid types, and malformed arguments.reconcile_report() generates a self-contained HTML

using component-based Levenshtein similarity.resolve = "flag" marks low-confidence matches for
manual review.reconcile_plot() visualises match composition as a bar
chart or pie chart using base R graphics.reconcile_suggest() shows the closest fuzzy candidates
for each unresolved species — useful for finding near-misses.reconcile_diff() compares two reconciliation objects
and reports gained/lost matches, type changes, and target changes.reconcile_override_batch() applies multiple overrides
at once from a data frame or CSV file.reconcile_review() provides an interactive console
interface for accepting or rejecting flagged and fuzzy matches one at a
time.print.reconciliation() now shows a coverage bar:

using bundled data.pr_fuzzy_match()) now uses genus
pre-filtering: only species whose genus is within 2 edits are compared.
This reduces computation from O(n×m) to roughly O(n×k) where k is the
number of congeners+near-genera, giving ~100× speedup on large datasets
(e.g., 1360×6504 from >10 min to ~3 sec).reconcile_suggest() uses the same genus pre-filter and
vectorised adist(), making it usable for 1000+ unresolved
species.reconcile_plot() error when passing

hardcoded main and also passed ..., causing a
