jetty 0.2.2 (2025-10-14)

Improves pak setup so that, whenever possible, pak will install package binaries instead of building from source.

Improves error messages if the underlying Docker process throws an error.
Allows the user greater control over .Renviron and .Rprofile files:
- Allows users to explicitly ignore these files by setting the arguments r_profile = NULL or r_environ = NULL.
- Allows users to ignore these via environment variables or R options.

Execute an R script in a Docker container: jetty now supports executing an R script in a Docker container via the run_script() function. A particularly important argument is the context argument. This user should specify this as the filepath to a directory that serves as the script's execution context. Specifically, this directory will be mounted to the Docker container and, as a result, this script will have access to all files/directories contained within the context. The script's execution will fail if it attempts to interact with any files/directories outside the provided context directory. Note: this is a feature that is only designed to work well with MacOS and Linux and will most likely crap out if used on Windows.
