# # concat_immundata <- function(left, right, output_folder, by = NULL) {
# #   update chain identifiers in the right
# #
# #   join_by / rename cols?
# #
# #   union
# #
# #   write
# #
# #   read
# # }
#
# Potential issues when loading/concatenating:
#
# - by missing a non-equal feature → we’ll stop with a precise error listing which features are missing.
#
# - One dataset has a locus column after renaming while the other doesn’t → hard error (as requested).
#
# - Different chain configs (e.g., one paired, one single) → hard error.
#
# - Single-cell runs with barcode collisions → hard error; prefix barcodes first. skip_barcode_check = TRUE if you are sure everything is correct.
