๐Ÿšจ Severity: MEDIUM
๐Ÿ’ก Vulnerability: Unvalidated arguments conf.level, nested, and adj in exported functions icci() and vuongtest() leak execution context and trigger raw R errors (e.g., 'missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed') when bad inputs are evaluated deep inside the functions.
๐ŸŽฏ Impact: Allows users to bypass top-level stop(..., call. = FALSE) safeguards and view raw R stack context and internal logic state, leading to information disclosure.
๐Ÿ”ง Fix: Validates the type, bounds, and lengths of conf.level, nested, and adj at the top of the functions, strictly failing on invalid or NA inputs with generic stop(..., call. = FALSE) calls. Added inline comments to document the security concern.
โœ… Verification: Run sudo R CMD INSTALL . and then sudo Rscript -e "testthat::test_dir('tests/testthat')" to verify standard functionality is unaffected, and manually observe that malformed inputs now return graceful generic errors.

Adds strict type, length, and bounds checking to the exported `vuongtest()` and `icci()` functions in R to prevent unvalidated arguments from leaking internal execution state via unhandled `NA` evaluation and missing value errors.

๐Ÿ‘‹ Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a ๐Ÿ‘€ emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!

๐Ÿ“ Info: New user-facing errors not recorded in NEWS

The added validation raises new user-facing errors in icci() and vuongtest(), but NEWS is not updated, which the repository conventions request for user-visible changes.

Verified successor closure into canonical #126 exact 5a4be4cc5e231dc14155b611b4396ec631d5083a. This generated branch changes only .jules/sentinel.md, R/icci.R, and R/vuongtest.R; its valid product behavior is the same early conf.level / nested / adj validation with call.=FALSE. #126 retains that boundary and adds a persistent exported-function regression covering zero-length, non-scalar, NA/NaN/infinite, wrong-type, boundary and unsupported values plus deterministic message/conditionCall()==NULL behavior. The branch-local Sentinel prose is not canonical repository authority and is intentionally excluded. No predecessor check/review result transfers. Closing only because all valid semantic/contract content is present in #126; #126 remains Draft.
