Description: Provides tools for multiscale systematic conservation planning
    using the H3 hierarchical hexagonal grid system (Uber Technologies (2024)
    <https://h3geo.org>) and the 'prioritizr' package (Hanson et al. (2025)
    <doi:10.1111/cobi.14376>). Supports the definition and solution of
    conservation problems across nested H3 resolutions with resolution-specific
    features, costs, and management attributes, including cross-scale
    connectivity penalties derived from parent-child relationships. Includes
    a multiscale minimum-set objective that allows planning units at different
    resolutions to contribute toward feature representation targets while
    accounting for overlapping costs and feature amounts across nested planning
    units. Also includes utilities to evaluate solutions using
    multiscale-aware diagnostics and to post-process optimization outputs
    into alternative area-targeted conservation scenarios.
