Hotfix: replace datawizard::data_tabulate() to avoid r-devel NA row name error in report_participants()

[Copilot]

r-devel change r89982 (2026-04-30) makes as.data.frame.*() error when row names contain NA. datawizard::data_tabulate() internally constructs a table() with useNA = "always", producing <NA> as a level; converting that table to a data frame now aborts on r-devel:

Error in as.data.frame.integer(x[[i]], optional = TRUE) :
  row names contain missing values
Calls: report_participants ... data_tabulate -> data.frame -> as.data.frame.integer

Changes

• R/report_participants.R: In both the text_country and text_race blocks of .report_participants(), replace datawizard::data_tabulate() + as.data.frame() with a direct table() call (default exclude = NA) and inline percentage computation. NAs are already replaced with "missing" before the table is built, so output is identical:

# Before
frequency_table <- as.data.frame(
  datawizard::data_tabulate(data[[country]]),
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)[c(2, 4)]
names(frequency_table)[2] <- "Percent"
frequency_table <- frequency_table[-which(is.na(frequency_table$Value)), ]

# After
freq_tbl <- table(data[[country]])
frequency_table <- data.frame(
  Value = names(freq_tbl),
  Percent = as.numeric(freq_tbl) / nrow(data) * 100,
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)

@etiennebacher just alerting you that the CRAN failures in report seem related to datawizard::data_tabulate() creating NA rows which now fails on R-devel. Have you had similar reports on your side?

Pull request overview

This PR hotfixes report_participants() to avoid an r-devel failure triggered by datawizard::data_tabulate() producing <NA> row names that now break as.data.frame(). It keeps the participant-summary output logic the same while switching the country/race tabulation to a simpler base-R path and updates package metadata/docs for the release.

Changes:

• Replaced datawizard::data_tabulate() with direct table()-based frequency/percentage calculation in the country and race branches of .report_participants().
• Bumped the package version and added a NEWS entry for the r-devel compatibility fix.
• Regenerated/updated related documentation and metadata files.
