Description: A reproducible mixed-model toolkit for plant-breeding trial design.
    It evaluates any replication allocation under a known genetic relationship
    (kinship) matrix using one common linear-mixed-model engine on genotype
    means. Crucially, allocation and analysis model are crossed rather than
    confounded: every allocation can be scored both with and without kinship,
    so the precision gain attributable to a design can be separated from the
    gain attributable to the kinship-based analysis adopted alongside it. It
    computes A-optimal, connectivity-aware allocations via rank-1
    Sherman-Morrison updates, and provides Monte-Carlo stress tests for outlier
    shrinkage and for an incorrectly specified kinship matrix, each with a
    matched control arm.
