beekeeper vs saperlipopette

beekeeper generates the scaffolding of an R API-wrapper package from an OpenAPI specification: authentication code, request preparation, one function per endpoint, and matching testthat files. Parameter documentation and type checking for logical, character, integer and double are generated too, with the remaining types waiting on the spun-off stbl package. Two other concerns were deliberately pushed out of the package during development, API definition discovery to anyapi and type stabilisation to stbl.

All five entries carry the same publication timestamp within a 48-second window, so this is a backfilled milestone history rather than a release cadence, and the version order runs opposite to the stamp order. Read in development order the arc is clear: authenticate and call one endpoint, then discover specs, then scaffold every endpoint, then make the generated code robust, with pagination arriving out of sequence after the scaffolding. The notes are unusually candid about the plan changing, recording where the original proposal was wrong and where scope was handed to other packages, which reads as a project designed to shed responsibilities rather than absorb them.

Type checking is explicitly gated on stbl gaining more types, so the next visible work is likely generated validation broadening as that dependency fills in. Whether the milestone structure continues past 0.5.0 is not visible in this backfilled record.
