run the full merge pipeline for a single module

loads wave files, applies all rules (variable, harmonization, boundary, drop/retain), derives variables, runs validation checks, and writes outputs (merged SAV, JSONL log, JSON summary, text report).

Usage

merge_liss_module(recipe, data_dir, output_dir = ".", strict = FALSE,
  overwrite = TRUE)

Arguments

recipe

a parsed recipe list (from load_recipe()), or a path to a recipe file.

data_dir

character. directory containing wave data files.

output_dir

character. directory for output files.

strict

logical. if TRUE, abort before writing any outputs when a validation check with severity: error fails or cannot be evaluated, or when a wave's selected file violates its expected_release pin; the default FALSE preserves the historical report-and-continue behavior.

overwrite

logical. if FALSE, abort instead of overwriting an existing merged output file. default TRUE preserves prior behavior.

Value

a list (invisibly) with elements data, log, validation, summary, recipe, provenance (package and recipe versions, input file md5 hashes, release decisions, strictness, timestamp), and valid_for_analysis (TRUE when no error-severity check failed or was unevaluable and all release pins matched).
