rwetools 0.1.2 (2026-05-28)

CRAN resubmission fixes:
- DESCRIPTION: single-quoted 'Excel' per CRAN software-name convention.
- DESCRIPTION: added method references in the Description field (Rosenbaum and Rubin 1983 doi:10.1093/biomet/70.1.41; Austin 2011 doi:10.1080/00273171.2011.568786; Desai et al. 2017 doi:10.1097/EDE.0000000000000595).
- estimate_rr_rd(): removed hardcoded RNG seed from the internal bootstrap helper. New seed argument (default NULL) lets the user opt in to reproducibility; when NULL the function does not touch the global RNG state. In the sequential branch, .Random.seed is saved and restored on exit when a seed is supplied.
tests: fixed the zero-count-level regression test (test-only change). The 0.1.1 test used expect_message(..., "Auto-excluding.*race_cat"), which required both substrings in a single message() call, but the verbose path emits the header and the variable name on separate lines. Switched to capture_messages() and asserts both substrings individually.

fix: estimate_ps() categorical extreme-distribution screen now detects zero-count levels via union of levels across exposure groups. Previously, a level present in only one exposure group was silently dropped by table() and could slip past the cnt < 5 rule, triggering quasi-separation in glm().
