Description: Identifies candidate item sets through threshold-driven iterative
    removal searches in exploratory factor analysis. Provides a no-removal
    baseline, numerical diagnostics, factor reliability, holdout evaluation,
    and bootstrap search stability to support transparent screening and
    documented content review rather than automatic measurement decisions.
    The loading criteria are
    based on best practices and established heuristics (e.g., Costello & 
    Osborne (2005) <doi:10.7275/jyj1-4868>, Howard (2016) 
    <doi:10.1080/10447318.2015.1087664>). Includes flexible thresholds for 
    factor loadings (min_loading) and cross-loading differences (loading_diff).
