Construct a Reproducibility Manifest — make

Creates an empty manifest object that accumulates cross-check entries via record() and is later serialized with write_manifest_json().

Usage

make_manifest(meta, environment = TRUE)

Arguments

meta: A named list of run metadata (e.g. project, author, run_at, synthetic) .
environment: Logical; when TRUE (the default) the manifest also records the analysis environment via capture_environment() (R version, platform, OS, UTC timestamp, loaded package versions).

Value

A manifest list with elements meta, an empty results list, and (when requested) environment.

Examples

# Minimal manifest, no environment capture.
man <- make_manifest(list(project = "demo-study", author = "A. Author"),
                     environment = FALSE)
names(man)          # "meta" "results"
#> [1] "meta"    "results"
man$meta$project
#> [1] "demo-study"

# With environment = TRUE it also records R version / platform / packages.
full <- make_manifest(list(project = "demo"), environment = TRUE)
names(full)         # adds "environment"
#> [1] "meta"        "results"     "environment"
full$environment$r_version
#> [1] "4.6.1"
