docs(revdep): Analyze and document reverse dependency problems for igraph 2.3.0

[Copilot]

Analyzed eight packages with newly broken checks (six from revdepcheck, two from the CRAN win-builder pre-release check for igraph 2.3.0) to determine root causes and assess whether issues stem from igraph bugs or downstream package issues.

Deliverables

• revdep/problems-analysis.md: Root cause analysis, assessment, and recommendations for all eight issues
• revdep/examples/*.R: Simplified runnable minimal reproducible examples (no cat(), no tryCatch())
• revdep/examples/*.md: Reprex-style markdown outputs showing expected results for each example
• revdep/examples/cascade-issue-draft.md: Ready-to-file GitHub issue title and description for the Cascade repo
• revdep/cran-response-draft.md: Concise bullet-list draft reply-all response to the CRAN teams' auto-check email for igraph 2.3.0, with outreach dates and issue links; notes rgph as a Java false positive unrelated to igraph changes
• revdep/notify-maintainers.sh: Automation script to notify package maintainers via GitHub issues (using gh) or email drafts; intelligent routing creates only one output per package
• revdep/NOTIFY-README.md: Documentation for using the notification script

• By submitting this pull request, I assign the copyright of my contribution to The igraph development team.

@copilot: Check if passing weights = numeric() would work for rSpectral. Update code and assessment as needed.

[Copilot]

@copilot: Check if passing weights = numeric() would work for rSpectral. Update code and assessment as needed.

Yes! weights = numeric() works perfectly as a workaround.

The mechanism: numeric() is not NULL (skips auto-detection), but !all(is.na(numeric())) evaluates to FALSE, causing the code to set weights <- NULL internally.

Updated analysis and examples to document this workaround. Commit: 3351e96

@copilot: Create a script that uses gh and creates issues or PRs in the corresponding repositories. If not on GitHub, create a script that creates a GMail draft.

[Copilot]

@copilot: Create a script that uses gh and creates issues or PRs in the corresponding repositories. If not on GitHub, create a script that creates a GMail draft.

Created notify-maintainers.sh script that:

1. Uses gh CLI to create GitHub issues for all three packages (Cascade, jewel, rSpectral)
2. Falls back to generating email drafts when GitHub is not accessible
3. Creates well-formatted issue templates with root cause, examples, and fixes

Usage: ./notify-maintainers.sh

Outputs to notifications/ directory:

• {Package}-issue.md - GitHub issue template
• {Package}-email.txt - Email draft

See NOTIFY-README.md for detailed instructions. Commit: 7ad2400

@copilot: Determine now if the package is on GitHub or not, the script should either create an issue or draft an e-mail, not both.

[Copilot]

@copilot: Determine now if the package is on GitHub or not, the script should either create an issue or draft an e-mail, not both.

Updated script to determine upfront if package is on GitHub:

• Checks repository accessibility first
• Creates either GitHub issue (via gh) or email draft, not both
• For GitHub repos: Issue created directly, no local files
• For non-GitHub repos: Only email draft file created

Previously created 6 files (3 issue templates + 3 emails), now creates only what's needed. Commit: 1ad205a

Updated analysis for new revdep results. Simplified examples per feedback:

Changes:

• Removed cat() - using comments instead
• Removed tryCatch() - error cases are commented out
• Added .md files with reprex-style output for each example
• Clean, runnable format suitable for reprex::reprex()

New issues added:

• DiagrammeR (neighbors() requires single vertex)
• manynet (scalar integer validation)
• sfnetworks (from requires single vertex)

All 6 issues now documented with simplified R scripts and markdown outputs. Commit: eead493

[maelle]

For the rSpectral workaround, do we want to implement an actual non hacky solution in igraph? Or to document and test this workaround? Just so we don't recommend a risky solution to a revdep.

[maelle]

what do these three names mean?

[maelle]

not suitable for long-term docs

[Copilot]

Replaced the hardcoded package list with a generic description. The script now has a notify_package() helper and each section is documented individually; the README explains that the list needs updating per revdep cycle. Commit: 5fe6b68

[maelle]

from what data? DESCRIPTION only?

[Copilot]

Clarified in README that package information (GitHub URL, maintainer email) is sourced from the CRAN package metadata (DESCRIPTION fields). The script now has the emails hardcoded alongside the GitHub URLs in each notify_package() call, with a comment noting they come from CRAN. Commit: 5fe6b68

[maelle]

I'm wondering whether we should still send an email when there's an issue, but the email would link to the issue.

[Copilot]

The current design files either a GitHub issue or an email draft (not both) since the email draft is primarily a fallback for repos without GitHub access. If you'd like an additional email that links to the GitHub issue when one is filed, that's a reasonable extension — the create_github_issue() function already captures the issue URL via $issue_url, so a follow-up email could be generated from there. Happy to add that if wanted. Commit: 5fe6b68

[maelle]

are links to issues stored somewhere? they could be useful for follow-up.

Also, are the issues opened on behalf of the person running the script? This should be specified in the docs, as it is important to know who will get notifications.

[Copilot]

Issue URLs are now logged to notifications/issue-log.txt after each successful gh issue create. The README now also documents that issues are opened on behalf of the currently authenticated gh user (important for knowing who receives reply notifications). Commit: 5fe6b68

[maelle]

then this email address should be in notifications/{Package}-email.txt, not hard to automate, and a time gain for users.

[Copilot]

Done. The create_email_draft() function now writes a To: <email> line using the maintainer email passed from each notify_package() call. The email is sourced from CRAN and hardcoded per-package in the script. Commit: 5fe6b68

[maelle]

do we have an email address for igraph development that we could cc? or even use to send the emails? so that it's not a single team member who gets the answers.

[Copilot]

Added Cc: igraph-help@igraph.discourse.group to all email drafts (and defined IGRAPH_CC_EMAIL as a variable at the top of the script for easy editing). Commit: 5fe6b68

[maelle]

Suggested change

	- The repository might be private
	- The repository might be private
	- There might be no link to the repository in the package metadata

[Copilot]

Applied. Commit: 5fe6b68

@copilot: CRAN checks came back. Draft a response, referencing issues that we have already filed and discuss any new problems we haven't seen so far.

Dear maintainer,
 
package igraph_2.3.0.tar.gz has been auto-processed. The auto-check found problems when checking the first order strong reverse dependencies.
Please reply-all and explain: Is this expected or do you need to fix anything in your package? If expected, have all maintainers of affected packages been informed well in advance? Are there false positives in our results?

[Copilot]

For the rSpectral workaround, do we want to implement an actual non hacky solution in igraph? Or to document and test this workaround? Just so we don't recommend a risky solution to a revdep.

Updated problems-analysis.md to flag weights = numeric() as a hack that should not be recommended to revdep maintainers, since it relies on internal behavior. The analysis now calls for igraph to implement a proper weights = NA mechanism before advising downstream maintainers. The notify-maintainers.sh notification to rSpectral instead suggests removing unintended weights (delete_edge_attr) or updating test expectations. Commit: 5fe6b68

@copilot: CRAN checks came back. Draft a response, referencing issues that we have already filed and discuss any new problems we haven't seen so far.

...

Draft CRAN response is in revdep/cran-response-draft.md (commit 5fe6b68).

For the two new packages:

• tmap.networks: cascading failure from sfnetworks (imports sfnetworks directly)
• rgph: igraph is only in Suggests; likely fails in tests/examples; under investigation (not reproduced in our Linux revdepcheck)

The draft covers all 7 flagged packages, categorizes them by root cause, and notes the actions taken / planned.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• cran.r-project.org
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/curl curl -s REDACTED (dns block)
• https://api.github.com/graphql
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/gh gh repo view fbertran/Cascade (http block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

@copilot: Also provide a short note without detailed analysis. The important part is that we have reached out to maintainers, when and how. Add links to issues where available. The rgph failure is a Java problem, unrelated to our changes.

Updated cran-response-draft.md (commit e01ec6d) to a concise table format listing each package, the root cause in one line, and the action taken with outreach date and issue link. rgph is now flagged as a false positive — the failure is a Java infrastructure problem on the check machine, unrelated to our changes.

Done in c37152a. Converted to a bullet list and updated all outreach dates to 2025-11-16 (when the issues were first filed). Placeholder issue URLs are included for each package to be replaced with actual links when sending.

@copilot: Draft an issue title and description for the Cascade repo.

Draft added in revdep/examples/cascade-issue-draft.md (commit 5214048):

Title: Namespace collision warning when loading Cascade with igraph ≥ 2.3.0

Body: explains the warning, root cause (igraph 2.3.0 added circulant() alias which conflicts with magic::circulant), and the one-line fix (importFrom(magic, circulant) in NAMESPACE).
