CellMentor 1.0.1 (2026-05-25)

Bug fixes

• calculate_performance() now passes as.factor(true_labels) and as.factor(clusters) to aricode::NMI(). As of aricode 1.1.0, NMI() routes mixed-type inputs through sort_pairs(), which calls as.integer() on character labels — turning cell-type names such as "alpha" into NA and aborting with "NA are not supported.". Coercing both sides to factor keeps the computation well-defined. Backport of the fix shipped in 1.1.2 on the devel branch.
