Description
We use a lot of `helper*` files in our unit tests. However, `helper*` files are no longer / not recommended by `testthat`. So we may want to check whether `setup*` is the more appropriate construction.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by inventorying the repository's helper* files and reviewing how testthat treats helper* versus setup* files. Determine which files need conversion, then run the unit-test suite to confirm that the chosen convention preserves test setup and all tests pass.
