QAPLogit	Initial core implemented
ERGM	Planned experimental approximation
STERGM	Planned experimental approximation

Validation

Validation is built in layers:

1. deterministic unit tests;
2. manual small-graph tests;
3. synthetic examples;
4. future validation against R fixtures.

R validation placeholders are intentionally kept visible until fixture exports are added.
