theoryforge: Systematic Theory Development

Provides a rigorous, reproducible workflow for building, developing and testing scientific theories represented as versioned, machine-checkable objects. Functions read and validate theory objects, score them against a versioned rigour checklist, screen constructs for lexical redundancy, and emit byte-identical diagram intermediate representations. The package is the feature-parity twin of a 'Python' package of the same name, with behaviour pinned by a shared specification so the two implementations produce identical verdicts.
