Repair

The repair engine applies only conservative, auditable changes by default:

  • trim column names and selected values
  • normalize known column aliases when no canonical column conflicts
  • replace whitespace in sample IDs with underscores
  • lowercase condition labels
  • remove fully empty rows
  • normalize FASTQ extension case

Every change is written to changes.json.

Suggested repairs are intentionally disabled until the project implements auditable inference rules. Passing --allow-suggestions fails clearly instead of silently applying only safe repairs.
