Description: A modern implementation of the Structural Topic Model.
        faSTM fits the logistic-normal STM (with prevalence and content
        covariates) via a multithreaded Rust core, with an opt-in
        stochastic-variational path for large corpora. It is
        self-contained: text preparation is read from 'quanteda' or
        'tidytext' objects, model inspection (labelTopics with
        FREX/lift/score, findThoughts, semantic coherence, exclusivity,
        topic correlations) and an estimateEffect()
        (method-of-composition posterior propagation) are built in. The
        fitted object is structurally compatible with 'stm' so existing
        analyses migrate with minimal changes.
