Tools and Statistical Procedures in Plant Science

inti keeps compounding small statistics and publishing tools for plant-science labs.

Current state
inti bundles the tooling a plant-science lab uses end to end: the Yupana analysis app, the Tarpuy experiment planner, scihub and rticle document rendering, and helpers for ANOVA and heritability. The 0.7.x line has been dominated by one thread, a PCA sub-module in Yupana carrying variable contribution, dimension correlation, supplementary variables and per-dimension selection. Releases are cumulative: 0.7.0, 0.7.1 and 0.7.2 all restate the same PCA lines, with each tag adding a few items on top, and 0.7.0 itself is split across two tags published 35 seconds apart.
Where it's heading
Two axes are moving. Analysis is deepening inside Yupana, where PCA went from a single view to a sub-module with its own contribution and correlation outputs across three tags. Publishing is widening around rticle() and scihub(), which now handle Google Docs markdown, crossrefs and page numbers, continuing the gdocs2qmd work from the 0.6 line. Neither is a change of direction; the package accretes features where the maintainer's own research workflow needs them.
Prediction
Expect the next tag to extend the PCA sub-module again and add another rticle() or scihub() rendering detail, on the two-to-six-week cadence the 0.7 line has held.

Recent moves

    scihub() gains pages, rticle() improves crossrefs

    Beyond the restated 0.7.0 PCA lines, what is actually new here sits on the publishing side: scihub() gained page numbers, rticle() improved crossrefs, and design QR codes were updated, plus a PCA legend fix. Incremental work on both of the package's active threads.

    0.7.1 restates the 0.7.0 PCA and Tarpuy notes

    Every line in this release also appears in the 0.7.0 notes published two weeks earlier, so the tag is a cumulative restatement rather than a record of new work. Nothing here is visible to a user who already updated.

    PCA sub-module adds contribution and dimension correlation

    The tag where the PCA sub-module actually lands, with variable contribution and dimension correlation alongside lattice and LCD design support and the Tarpuy progress dashboard. This is the release the two tags after it keep restating.

    New rticle() renders Google Docs markdown into articles

    The second half of the same 0.7.0 release, tagged 35 seconds earlier under a commit SHA rather than a version number. It carries the publishing side: a new rticle() that renders native markdown from Google Docs into an article, an experiment matrix in Tarpuy, and CRediT contributor roles. Treat it and the v0.7.0 tag as one release split across two tags.

    H2cal() takes factors as a formula; scihub() templates updated

    A small maintenance tag on the pre-0.7 line: scihub() templates updated, H2cal() extended to take factors as a formula, and a gdocs2qmd error fixed. The formula interface on H2cal() is the only item that changes how the package is called.

    SciHub RStudio addin arrives; gdocs2qmd table export fixed

    Mostly presentation fixes here, covering significance label overlap, ANOVA tables for kable() and a gdocs2qmd table export bug, but it also adds a SciHub RStudio addin that moves the document workflow out of the console and into the IDE.
