The first method implemented under the approved catalogue, and the first held to conditions that existed before it did (docs/statistics/method-conditions/exact-descriptive-summaries.md). Counts and proportions per sample and per group, carried exactly: counts as integers of unbounded width, proportions as rationals. No inference is claimed and the module has no vocabulary for one. The distinction the code exists to keep is between two things a single number cannot tell apart. A feature with no reads, in a sample that has reads, has a relative abundance of exactly 0 -- a value. A sample with no reads at all has NO relative abundances, and the summary carries `nothing` rather than 0. That is the case PipelineExecution writes 0.0 for today; the exact layer reports it as undefined, and the legacy path is deliberately left alone, because changing it would alter results saved analyses were computed from. Design decisions worth naming: - Float input is accepted only when finite, integral and within 2^53, and the result is marked approximate and says so in its warnings. A float above 2^53 is refused, not trusted: its history cannot be inspected, and the boundary audit showed exactly what it costs. - An ordinary or high-precision policy is refused by name. Higher precision is not exactness, and a caller who asked for exactness must not receive Float64s that look identical until somebody checks. - Group summaries aggregate counts exactly -- a sum of counts, not a mean of proportions, which with unequal depths is a different and usually unintended statement. - Storage and display stay separate: stored proportions are strings that parse back through parse_exact_rational to the identical rational, and a rounded decimal is never what gets written down. Making the implementation match the published conditions fixed two defects in the layer underneath rather than papering over them: to_display printed a rendering labelled "6dp" followed by eighty digits (BigFloat round-trips through `round`, not through a format), and rendered exact rationals as Julia's "2//3" in text a person reads. The rounding is done in integer arithmetic -- scale, divrem, and half away from zero -- rather than by formatting a BigFloat. That keeps a value which is exactly not a float away from float arithmetic and from any rounding rule the float libraries happen to use, and it renders correctly past Float64: a rational whose integer part exceeds 2^200 prints its digits, with no exponent notation appearing in text meant to be read. It also needs nothing outside Base, after a first attempt added a stdlib dependency the package did not declare and could not precompile. Evidence: hand-derived known answers, an independent reference compared value by value against Python's fractions.Fraction (skipping loudly by name if python3 is absent), negative controls for the zero-total case, a float claiming exactness, a negative count and a budget overrun, a guard that the pipeline does not depend on this module, and display tests for the cases a float-based renderer gets wrong (signs, ties, values beyond Float64). Mutation-tested: making a zero-total sample report 0 fails four assertions; wiring the pipeline to this module fails the guard by name. Removing the widening flag does NOT fail them, and the test says so out loud -- counts are already BigInt by then, so the flag is defensive rather than load-bearing, and a test of the mechanism would be a test of an implementation choice. Tests: 97 new assertions; the numeric policy (144) and boundary (45) suites still pass. check-format, check-spdx and lint_source.jl clean. Refs #1
The check that exists to catch a package used but not declared in
Project.toml had two false negatives, and `import Printf` -- added earlier on
this branch -- walked through both of them: it passed this gate and failed
precompilation in CI instead, with exactly the error this check is written to
pre-empt.
1. It exempted a list of "stdlibs that need no [deps] entry", Printf among
them. There is no such class of name. A stdlib a package uses must be
declared like any other dependency; only Base, Core and Main are bound
without a declaration. Verified by experiment against every name the old
list contained: each one fails with "does not have X in its
dependencies" when undeclared.
2. It matched one name per line, so `using JSON3, YAML` checked JSON3 and
never looked at YAML.
Both are fixed by parsing the statement instead of pattern-matching its text.
The AST has already resolved comma lists, relative imports and `using A: b, c`
selection, none of which need guessing at, and the reporting now points at
the statement rather than the file.
A gate that cannot fail is decoration, so the check carries a self-test that
replays the input which defeated it -- an undeclared stdlib, and a name after
the first in a comma list -- next to the inverses that must NOT be reported,
so a future rewrite fails the gate instead of quietly passing it. The
self-test was mutation-checked: adding Printf to the always-bound set makes
it fail and name the reason.
Verified: the gate is clean on this tree, fails on an undeclared Printf, and
fails on an undeclared second name in a comma list. Both mutations restored.

Restrict declared to the [deps] table.
Line 202 matches assignments in every Project.toml table. If YAML appears only in [compat] or [extras], using YAML in src/ passes this lint even though it is not an ordinary source dependency. Julia derives package roots from the package name and [deps]. (docs.julialang.org)
Parse only [deps]. Add a self-test with YAML in [compat] but absent from [deps].

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Derive approximation metadata from the actual values.
eltype(counts) does not identify which values were supplied as floating point. For example, a Matrix{Rational{Int}} sets approximate to true, although its values are exact. A heterogeneous Matrix{Real} also marks every sample and group as approximate when only one column contains a float.
Inspect each column for AbstractFloat values. Set the overall flag from those column flags. Set each group flag from its member columns. This prevents false provenance warnings while preserving the required floating-point warning.
Proposed approach
- approximate = !(eltype(counts) <: Integer)

+ any(value isa AbstractFloat for value in `@view` counts[:, j])
+ for j in 1:n_samples

…salvageable delta of #71) (#72) <!-- SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-SA-4.0 --> ## Summary Re-anchors **the one genuinely missing piece** of PR #71 onto `main`, and documents why everything else in that PR is already here in newer form. ## Why PR #71 cannot merge (measured, 2026-09-26) 1. **Wrong lineage → `mergeable: CONFLICTING` (DIRTY).** The PR branch is built on the **upstream parent's history** (`JoshuaJewell:main` = `ecefb1c` is an ancestor; the PR = upstream + 3 commits). `main` here shares only the **initial commit** `7884553` with it — the exact fork↔upstream divergence documented in `docs/integration/conflict-map-2026-09-25.md`. A test merge surfaces **38 conflicting files** (add/add: ci.yml, ui.yml, package.json, MetaManifold.jl, Execution.jl, tests, docs, binary `bun.lock`). 2. **Content is ~99% superseded.** Of the PR's 319 changed files, **281 are byte-identical with `main` already** (the migration was re-anchored earlier via `0e61f4f` and siblings). Net of `main`, the PR branch has only **+398 lines**, and after filtering to lines the PR itself authored that `main` truly lacks: - **`src/analysis/Execution.jl` (124 lines): stub/mock code** (“Mock p-value”, “Real implementation would call R…”) — replaced on `main` by the real statistics layer (#57–#66). - **Schema/doc notes “TSS/CSS/RSS deferred alias”** — obsolete: `main` implemented exact TSS/CSS/RSS offsets in #61. - **CI action pins** — older than `main`'s (Dependabot keeps `main` at checkout v7.0.1 / setup-julia v3.0.2 …). - **Escape-key dialog handlers** — superseded by native `<dialog>` with `showModal()` (#32), which supplies Escape/role/focus-trap natively. - **`lint_source.jl` undeclared-deps, Justfile bootstrap/setup-full, coupling test** — all present on `main` in deliberately newer forms. - **The 2 CodeQL alerts (“Workflow does not contain permissions”)** — the author already fixed these on their branch (`6b481a3`, `eab8ea0`), and *that* piece is what `main` was still missing. ## Changes - `.github/workflows/ci.yml`: top-level `permissions: contents: read` plus job-level blocks on `repo-hygiene` and `test` (`cicd-squabbler` already declares its own). Mirrors `ui.yml`, which already has a top-level block, and the fix landed on PR #71's branch. ## Recommendation **Close #71** in favour of this PR (its remaining unique content would regress `main`); carry any future application changes to `JoshuaJewell` per the PR template's Base check. ## Testing - `npx js-yaml .github/workflows/ci.yml` parses; `permissions` present at workflow level and on all jobs. - `scripts/check-spdx.sh` OK (291 files), `scripts/check-format.sh` OK (339 files), `scripts/check-lint.sh` advisory (bun not installed in sandbox).
