Description: Tools for AI-assisted qualitative data coding using large language
    models ('LLMs') via the 'ellmer' package, supporting providers including
    'OpenAI', 'Anthropic', 'Google', 'Azure', and local models via 'Ollama'.
    Provides a 'codebook'-based workflow for defining coding instructions and
    applying them to texts, images, and other data. Includes built-in 'codebooks'
    for common applications such as sentiment analysis and policy coding, and
    functions for creating custom 'codebooks' for specific research questions.
    Supports systematic replication across models and settings, computing
    inter-coder reliability statistics including Krippendorff's alpha
    (Krippendorff 2019, <doi:10.4135/9781071878781>) and Fleiss' kappa
    (Fleiss 1971, <doi:10.1037/h0031619>), as well as gold-standard validation
    metrics including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 scores following
    Sokolova and Lapalme (2009, <doi:10.1016/j.ipm.2009.03.002>). Provides audit
    trail functionality for documenting coding workflows following Lincoln and
    Guba's (1985, ISBN:0803924313) framework for establishing trustworthiness
    in qualitative research.
