Version 1.0.1 (2026-04-26)

Bug fixes

• download_ccsr() / read_ccsr(): Strip surrounding quotes from character columns in HCUP CSVs so ICD and CCSR values join reliably.
• ccsr_map(): Diagnosis mapping now expands CCSR Category 1–6 so cross-classifications appear in long and wide outputs; wide uses slot-aligned CCSR_1…CCSR_6; long diagnosis output includes is_default; fixed spurious wide column from unmatched rows.
• get_ccsr_description(): Normalize quoted CCSR codes when matching.
• list_ccsr_versions(): Merge scraped versions with direct file checks so current releases (e.g. v2026.1) appear.
• ccsr_changelog(): When version is explicit, skip interactive prompts for import format and sheet selection by default.
• CRAN / R CMD check: inst/CITATION now uses bibentry(); examples that require network, local files, or optional PDF tooling use \donttest{}; unused pkgdown removed from Suggests; non-package paths added to .Rbuildignore.
