What this changes

Three things a newcomer meets before any code (replaces the wedged #133, whose head got stuck at the base commit during branch cleanup; same branch, same change, clean start):

  1. A Documentation section in the README pointing at the wiki in metadatastician/MetaManifold-Evidence, under docs/wikis/ -- the longer documentation for users, maintainers, developers and theorists, with a Home page entry point.
  2. A Differential Abundance section in the README, documenting the tab end to end: the two-condition selection (exactly two runs or pooled-run sub-groups, the first as reference so a positive fold change means more abundant in the second), the rank list showing only ranks the selected runs share, aggregation making a pooled run one condition, and then the statistics as the code runs them -- counts summed per taxon at the chosen rank with nameless rows pooled as Unclassified after the read-count bounds and any applicable analysis.exclude_categories; each taxon fitted with its own negative-binomial GLM MASS::glm.nb(y ~ group + offset(log(size factor))) on raw integer counts, no pseudocounts; a Wald test on the group coefficient; Benjamini-Hochberg over the taxa that produced a p-value; size factors from the whole matrix, centred. Cross-references the existing Configuring analysis anchor for the settings, and names the code (src/analysis/differential.jl) and the route.
  3. The community files: a bug report and a feature request issue template (both telling reporters to search existing issues first, and to raise a fork's own issues on that fork), a pull request template carrying the PR checklist, and the Contributor Covenant code of conduct. Per this fork's root-shape doctrine the code of conduct lives under .github/ with CONTRIBUTING.md -- the root keeps only authority files and entry points, and test/unit/test_install_pins.jl's bidirectional root check stays green without touching its allowlist.

How to run its tests

Documentation and .github/ convention files; no code changes. Verified locally on a branch cut from the current main tip (655c4da, i.e. including the merged occupancy gate):

julia --project=. test/unit/test_install_pins.jl   # 223/223, root shape 23/23

Every file and anchor the new sections reference exists (src/analysis/differential.jl, the analysis: settings in pipeline.yml, the Configuring analysis heading at line 623 that the cross-reference at line 271 points at, this fork's scripts/install.jl path untouched), and the templates are the issue-form YAML GitHub expects.

What this leaves out

No changes to any workflow, so nothing for the occupancy gate or the action allow-list to weigh. The commit is unsigned (the signing key's passphrase is unavailable to the session that produced it); amend to sign if required. This same change is also proposed upstream as JoshuaJewell#47, with the one fork-specific difference noted above (the code of conduct's location).

Versions tested

Julia 1.13.1 locally (CI pins 1.12.5). Nothing else touched.

… community files

The README gains a Documentation section pointing at the wiki in
metadatastician/MetaManifold-Evidence (docs/wikis), and a Differential
Abundance section documenting the tab end to end: the two-condition
selection semantics, rank-list scope, aggregation, the Unclassified
pooling after the read-count bounds and exclude_categories, the
per-taxon negative-binomial GLM (MASS::glm.nb with a size-factor offset,
no pseudocounts, Wald test, Benjamini-Hochberg over the taxa that produced
a p-value), where the size factors come from, and where the code and the
route live. Settings cross-reference the existing Configuring analysis
anchor.

Also adds the community files: a bug report and feature request issue
template (both telling reporters to search first and to raise
fork-specific issues on the fork), a pull request template carrying the
PR checklist, and the Contributor Covenant code of conduct. Per this
fork's root-shape doctrine the code of conduct lives under .github/
with CONTRIBUTING.md -- the root keeps only authority files and entry
points, and test/unit/test_install_pins.jl's bidirectional root check
stays green without touching its allowlist.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — README.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in README.md: The analysis overview adds differential abundance between two conditions using a negative-binomial model with Benjamini–Hochberg-adjusted p-values, and a Documentation section linking to the project wiki.
  • observed — Modified behavior in README.md: Adds README documentation for differential abundance: condition selection and reference direction; count aggregation, filtering and model fitting; tss and rle offsets and minimum prevalence; plot and table contents and statuses; CSV/report output; and the listed input, configuration, R-package and fitting errors.
  • observed — Modified behavior in README.md: The analysis configuration description now includes differential abundance. The example adds differential to the exclusion surfaces and updates the documented apply_to options accordingly.
  • observed — Modified behavior in README.md: Documents analysis.differential defaults: offset: tss with rle as an alternative, and min_prevalence: 0.0 as the fraction of samples requiring reads for a taxon to be tested.

The repository only states that reports should use the maintainer’s GitHub profile. The profile and linked website content needed to determine whether a private reporting route exists are not provided, so this concern cannot be decided.

278-280: 🎯 Functional Correctness

The natural-log fit_nb estimate is converted to log2_fold_change before the result reaches the volcano chart. The NB result selects that field for the chart, so the README’s log2 scale description is accurate.

…ings in the README

Both CodeRabbit findings from #143, accepted; the PR merged before the
fixes could ride on it, so they land here.

- The bug report form required R and browser versions from everyone: a
  command-line reporter has no browser to name, and a web-interface
  reporter often cannot know the server's R version, so both fields
  forced placeholder answers. They are now optional, each with the
  wording that says when it applies; Julia stays required, since every
  reporter runs the Julia server.
- The differential-abundance README section described only the default
  nb_glm method and listed only offset and min_prevalence, presenting
  the analysis as NB-only; clr_welch and replacement_delta have been in
  the pipeline config and code since the upstream syncs. The section
  now documents method and replacement_delta, notes that offset applies
  to nb_glm only, and states clr_welch's effect as a CLR difference,
  not a fold change.

The wording follows config/defaults/pipeline.yml's own comments for the
same keys.

## What this changes

Both CodeRabbit findings from #143, accepted; the PR merged before the
fixes could ride on it, so they land here.

1. **Bug report form** (`bug_report.yml`) — the R and browser version
fields were required from everyone. A command-line reporter has no
browser to name, and a web-interface reporter often cannot know the
server's R version, so both forced placeholder answers. They are now
optional, each saying when it applies; Julia stays required, since every
reporter runs the Julia server.
2. **README differential-abundance section** — it described only the
default `nb_glm` method and listed only `offset` and `min_prevalence`,
presenting the analysis as NB-only. It now documents `method` and
`replacement_delta`, notes `offset` applies to `nb_glm` only, and states
`clr_welch`'s effect as a CLR difference, not a fold change. Wording
follows `config/defaults/pipeline.yml`'s own comments for the same keys.

The identical commit is also on `upstream/docs-community` (upstream PR
JoshuaJewell#56), so the two copies stay in step.

## Verification

Docs-only; no code path changes. The form renders in GitHub's template
preview; the README section matches the config keys enumerated in
`config/defaults/pipeline.yml` and the `DifferentialConfig` contract in
`src/analysis/differential.jl`.

## Notes

The commit is unsigned — the signing key's passphrase was not available
in the session that produced it. The LanguageTool "loose punctuation"
notes from the same review are not acted on: they flag the README's
standard markdown list formatting, which the whole file uses.

13 conflicted files, all the fork's sync-policy set (CI pinning,
docstrings, occupancy work, tests). Fork main's versions win: this
branch's docs content was already absorbed there via #143/#145, and
its older upstream state is superseded. The net diff against main is
CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md (community files this PR adds, not yet on main)
and upstream's vsearch entry-point test not yet absorbed.
