Build NOAA Stock Assessment Report

github.com/nmfs-ost/asar ↗

A NOAA report-template generator being debugged by the workshops that teach it.

◆Current state
asar generates standardized stock assessment report skeletons, with create_template() as the function everything else orbits. The visible release history is short and entirely reactive: two rounds of fixes to template customization and rerendering, then a documentation release moving the project's authoring guidelines onto the package website as living articles. Nothing in the window adds capability.
◆Where it's heading
The releases are paced by training events rather than a roadmap. The 2.0.0 rerender bugs — blank author sections, parameters not propagating into both the YAML and the params chunk, custom sections mislabelled — are the kind found by people actually filling in a template, and the follow-up hotfix names a workshop explicitly as where the problems surfaced. Moving the guidelines into versioned site articles, revised after workshop feedback, continues that: the standard is being treated as part of the software rather than a document beside it.
◆Prediction
With a workshop series named as upcoming in the entries, the next release is most likely another round of template fixes reported from a live session rather than new report types.

    Authoring guidelines published as living website articles

    A documentation release whose notes are an unsquashed commit list, most of them iterations on a single guidelines vignette. The substance is that the standards document now ships as a versioned site article revised from workshop feedback, rather than living outside the package.

    Hotfix issues in create_template found during NSAW Workshop

    Restores full create_template() functionality when the non-standard template is selected, after rerendering and report-type problems turned up during a workshop. The second consecutive release fixing the same function, which marks how much of this package's surface runs through it.

    Patch bugs found in v2.0.0

    Six fixes to customization and rerendering: authorship no longer gains a blank section, new arguments such as species or region take effect on rerender, titles and parameters propagate into both the YAML and the params chunk, and custom sections are labelled correctly. Together they make rerendering an edited template reliable, which is the workflow the package exists to support.
