scBatchQC 0.99.1

Bug fixes

• Updated R version dependency from 4.5.0 to 4.6.0 to match Bioconductor 3.23.
• Replaced deprecated scuttle::perCellQCMetrics() usage with scrapper::computeRnaQcMetrics(), removing deprecation warnings from the test suite while preserving existing scBatchQC_* output column names.
• Updated generated imports and dependency metadata for the new scrapper QC metric backend.

scBatchQC 0.99.0

New features

• Initial release submitted to Bioconductor.
• batchAwareQCMetrics(): compute per-cell QC metrics with hierarchical empirical Bayes batch harmonization.
• estimateBatchDoubletRate(): estimate per-batch doublet rates from cells-loaded metadata and protocol type.
• harmonizeQCThresholds(): inspect and update QC thresholds at arbitrary MAD stringency without re-running the full pipeline.
• plotBatchQC(): violin plot panel of QC metric distributions per batch with harmonized threshold overlays.
• BQCResult S4 class for storing batch QC results.
