vision 0.1.0 — Specification and recipe engine

This is the initial public release of vision, the specification and
recipe-construction engine for the niche R universe.

Scope

vision translates declared analytic intent into deterministic, machine-checkable
execution plans. It parses and validates specifications and produces recipes that
downstream packages can execute.

Included

• Parsing of analytic specifications (YAML / JSON)
• Schema-level validation of declared intent
• Deterministic construction of niche_recipe objects
• Explicit tracking of applied defaults
• Stable, reproducible behavior across platforms
• Filesystem-safe operation under user-controlled paths
• Full test coverage and clean R CMD check --as-cran

Excluded (by design)

• Data ingestion or inspection
• Data cleaning or transformation
• Scale scoring
• Model fitting or estimation
• Table, figure, or report generation
• APA formatting or manuscript logic
• Any execution of analytic steps

Stability

Public interfaces introduced in this release are expected to remain stable across
the 0.x series. vision depends on nicheCore (>= 0.1.0) and is intended to be used
indirectly via higher-level packages such as niche.
