 # bayesplot (development version)
 
+* Validate user-provided `pit` values in `ppc_loo_pit_data()` and `ppc_loo_pit_qq()`, rejecting non-numeric inputs, missing values, and values outside `[0, 1]`.
 * Fixed `is_chain_list()` to correctly reject empty lists instead of silently returning `TRUE`.
 * Added unit tests for `mcmc_areas_ridges_data()`, `mcmc_parcoord_data()`, and `mcmc_trace_data()`.
 * Added unit tests for `ppc_error_data()` and `ppc_loo_pit_data()` covering output structure, argument handling, and edge cases.
