coreval: Check Clinical Trial Data Against 'CDISC' Open Rules

Finds conformance problems in clinical trial data without leaving R, using the openly published 'CDISC' Open Rules ('CORE'). Check a single dataset while you are still writing the code that builds it, or a whole study folder once it exists, and get the findings back as a tidy data frame pointing at the exact row and variable. Reads transport ('XPT'), 'SAS' and comma-separated files, plus 'Define-XML' when present, and covers rules for the 'SDTM', 'SEND' and 'TIG' standards. The rules are bundled inside the package, so nothing is downloaded and your data never leaves your machine: no internet, no API key, no account. When a rule cannot be checked - because it needs a dataset you did not supply, for instance - it is reported as skipped with the reason, never counted as a pass. Meant as a quick first pass before a qualified validation system, never as a replacement for one. An independent project: not affiliated with or endorsed by 'CDISC', and not a 'CORE'-certified conformance engine.
