Metabolic package extension of admiral

admiralmetabolic has covered its core obesity derivations and moved to upkeep.

pharmaversecdisc-adamobesityclinical-templatesdocumentation
Current state
Three releases in thirteen months took the package from two anthropometric ratio derivations to ADVS, ADCOEQ and ADLB templates with matching vignettes and shared SDTM test data. The February 2026 release contains no new functions — a template path fix, a CRAN relative-path fix, central lint configuration, and the kapa.ai Ask AI widget added across admiral documentation.
Where it's heading
The package is consolidating into the pharmaverse ecosystem rather than growing its own surface: test datasets moved out to pharmaversesdtm, lint configuration moved to admiraldev, and documentation now points back at the shared admiral ecosystem page. What stays package-specific is the metabolic derivations themselves.
Prediction
With no metabolic-specific derivations in the latest release, the next cycle looks more likely to bring another dataset or template than new functions.

    Template path and CRAN fixes, plus an Ask AI docs widget

    No change to the package's derivations: a template save-directory fix, a CRAN relative-path fix, central lintr configuration pulled from admiraldev, and the ecosystem-wide kapa.ai documentation widget. It marks the point where the package stopped adding capability and started tracking the ecosystem.

    ADLB template and metabolic lab datasets

    Adds a metabolic ADLB template and vignette, plus lb_metabolic and adsl_metabolic datasets contributed to pharmaversesdtm. It fills out the template set beyond the vital-signs and eating-questionnaire work of the initial release.

    Initial release with waist-ratio derivations for obesity

    The first release, scoped to obesity: derive_param_waisthip() and derive_param_waisthgt(), with ADVS and ADCOEQ templates and two vignettes. It establishes the therapeutic-area pattern the later releases extend.
