title: 'hotpatchR: Runtime Namespace Patching Utilities for R Packages'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.hotpatchR
abstract: Provides utilities for runtime hotpatching of locked R package namespaces.
  The package enables dynamic injection of function patches into sealed package environments
  without rebuilding or redeploying the package. This is particularly useful for legacy
  containerized workflows where package versions are frozen in place. The core functionality
  includes inject_patch() to inject patches into package namespaces, undo_patch()
  to restore original functions, apply_hotfix_file() to apply patches from external
  R scripts, and test_patched_dir() to run test suites against patched packages. The
  package implements namespace surgery techniques that allow internal callers to automatically
  see patched functions.
