thisutils: Reliable Utilities for Reusable Research Workflows

Provides reusable building blocks for research packages across matrix representation, numerical computation, neighborhood evaluation, controlled execution, and runtime interoperability. Core tools preserve declared sparse semantics, expose dense-memory and output boundaries, standardize neighborhood and classification results, and align serial and parallel result and error behavior. Additional helpers support structured messages, optional dependency checks, and common statistical workflows.
