Changelog • newmark

newmark 1.1.0

inst/CITATION: replace utils::packageVersion("newmark") with meta$Version so the citation file evaluates correctly when the package is not yet installed (CRAN pre-test failure).
inst/WORDLIST: add 135 domain-specific terms (author surnames, technical vocabulary, package-internal identifiers) so spelling::spell_check_package() exits clean. Add Language: en-US to DESCRIPTION.

Vignettes rebuilt for fidelity to the implemented code and the underlying paper (Verri Kozlowski 2026, working). Hallucinated cross-references to deleted articles, oqt-pipeline terminology leaking into newmark prose, and inconsistent function-name references were removed.
New vignette dynamic-site-response documents the dsra-side methodology merged into newmark 1.1.0: Ishihara (1996) small-strain shear-modulus model, Gazetas & Dakoulas (1985) inhomogeneous truncated shear-beam fundamental period, synthetic-profile generation via getSiteProperties() / geSiteTable(), and the ASCE 7-22 site-class utilities Vs30toSID() / SIDtoVs30().
pipeline vignette rewritten as a function-level overview of the four library workflows (dynamic site response, hazard import, displacement curves, seismic coefficient), with a single top-of-file note that orchestration on a hazard grid (looping scenarios, persisting tables) is the consumer’s responsibility.
ensemble-formulation vignette now states the inverse-problem formulation explicitly, documents the BM19 near-fault PGV > 115 cm s⁻¹ correction and the NFC D100/D50 selector, and lists the operational defaults (Monte Carlo size, k_y grid, reported quantiles) that the package and downstream consumers share.
newmark-quickstart vignette: stale links to deleted articles removed; Next steps rewritten as in-package vignette() and ?fnname references.

interpolateSaTable() and buildQSpline() now emit a descriptive warning() when called on a UHS table with duplicate (Tn, p) rows, pointing the user to the standard disaggregation key (siteID, ID, Vs30, TR). R’s cryptic regularize.values: collapsing to unique 'x' values warning is suppressed in favour of the new message — it is replaced, not stacked on top. Numerical behaviour is unchanged: duplicate rows are still silently collapsed via stats::approx / stats::splinefun ties = "mean". SoT-validated bit-identical on clean fixtures (5/5 direct + 36/36 pipeline) and byte-equal output on duplicated input.

Private helpers .summarizeDn(), .summarizeDnDraws(), .aggregateWeighted() parameter p.vals renamed to pVals. Producer .sampleDnScenario() returns the list element under the new key pVals (was p.vals). Consumers fitDnCurve() and fitDnModel() updated to read .sample$pVals. All references are intra-package; no exported symbol changes signature. SoT-validated (Stage B helpers direct identity 3/3; Stage C swap-in-place via assignInNamespace over the 6 affected functions running the full fitDnCurve grid 216/216, both bit-identical).

getDnKy() parameters renamed for STYLE.md compliance: ky.n → kyN, p.ref → pRef. Output is bit-identical for any call that uses the defaults or passes the args by position. Callers that passed by name must update the keyword. No live caller in the ecosystem (oqt, research scripts, MCP server, skill templates) was found to pass these by name; the rename is a clean keyword change. SoT-validated (Stage A direct identity 27/27 across 3 fixtures × 3 Ts × 3 kyN values; Stage C swap-in-place via assignInNamespace 216/216 across the full fitDnCurve pipeline).
fitDnCurve() no longer accepts NS.draws. The parameter was a partial-retention knob (filter draws to the first NS.draws realisations) that no caller used; every observed call site set NS.draws = NS. The default NS.draws = 0L produced draws = NULL, which silently broke invertDnDraws() for callers who followed the README pattern. draws is now always returned as a populated data.table (or an empty data.table with the four canonical columns when no model produces output, replacing the prior NULL corner-case return).

Migration: drop NS.draws = ... from any fitDnCurve() call. Output for NS.draws = NS callers (the universal pattern) is bit-identical (verified across vignette + 2 real UHSTable fixtures × 3 seeds × 2 NS × 3 Ts × 2 NFC × 2 weight sets).
