surveyframe: Survey Instrument Workflows

Supports survey research workflows built around a typed instrument object (the sframe). Features include visual instrument design via a browser-based builder or 'Shiny' studio, export to a self-contained static HTML survey, an embeddable 'Shiny' module, SHA-256 integrity-checked serialisation to the '.sframe' format, multi-page survey rendering, branching logic, response quality checking, scale scoring, psychometric diagnostics, analysis-plan execution, model syntax planning, an interactive response dashboard, codebook generation, and reproducible HTML reporting. This release adds three capability themes: multi-criteria decision analysis (AHP, ANP, DEMATEL, TOPSIS, VIKOR, MOORA, SMART, WASPAS, PROMETHEE II, ELECTRE I), small-sample survey helpers, and text and open-ended response analysis (term and n-gram frequency, keyword in context, co-occurrence and co-occurrence networks, sentiment, document-feature matrices, and topic modelling via LDA or structural topic models).
