A VAR-model fitting package acquiring the standard R methods it launched without

◆Current state
fitVARMxID fits vector autoregressive models via OpenMx identification, and is one of several packages maintained by the jeksterslab account. Its recent releases are small and additive: confint() and plot() methods, a save function, and before that a documentation pass. The feed also carries automated build commits that are pure CI artifacts.
◆Where it's heading
This is a package settling into R conventions rather than growing capability. Adding confint() and plot() is the standard-methods work most modeling packages do once the estimation core is stable — it signals the author considers the fitting side done. Cadence is roughly quarterly and the changes get smaller each time.
◆Prediction
Further method coverage — summary(), predict(), or coef() — is the likely next step, since confint() and plot() are usually the first two of that set rather than the last.

◆Recent moves

    fitVARMxID 1.0.5

    confint() and plot() methods arrive, plus a save helper. These are the interface conventions R users expect from a fitted-model object, and their absence until now suggests the package has been usable mainly by its author.

    v1.0.2: Automated build [skip ci].

    An automated build commit — the body is a list of changed PDF, tarball and LaTeX scaffolding files under .setup/. Nothing here is a product change; the tag exists because the build pipeline pushed it.
