Description

why use an integer return code? For different types of failures?
The oks are logicals.

Research direction

Start by locating the probit transform implementation and reviewing the return-code handling alongside obs_probit_trans_ok and state_probit_trans_ok. The issue does not name a file or test, so first establish whether integer codes and logical flags represent different failure cases. Done means the return convention and failure semantics are explicitly decided and consistently reflected in the implementation.
