Summary

Partially addresses #1 and #9.

Expands the README in three ways to address feedback from both Allen and Sadie during package review:

Changes

Installation section

  • Added a separate subsection for developers/contributors covering devtools::load_all() and devtools::install() from a local clone
  • Added an explicit [!NOTE] block clarifying that cloning the repository alone does not make library(rfaR) work — the package must be installed or loaded via devtools::load_all()

License section (new)

  • Added a brief section explaining why the package has both LICENSE and LICENSE.note files. Both are CRAN-compliant; LICENSE is the R stub naming copyright holder and year, LICENSE.note contains the full BSD 3-Clause text plus the USACE government disclaimer.

What's New section (new)

  • Added a small section near the top of the README pointing to NEWS.md for version history.

Testing

  • R CMD check passes clean (README changes only)
  • Verified the <details> / </details> structure renders correctly with the License section visible (not hidden inside the Plotting Results collapsible)
