abstract: Implements Le Cam deficiency theory for causal inference, as described in
  Akdemir (2026) <https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18367347>. Provides theorem-backed
  bounds together with computable proxy diagnostics for information loss from confounding,
  selection bias, and distributional shift. Supports continuous, binary, count, survival,
  and competing risks outcomes. Key features include propensity-score total-variation
  deficiency proxies, negative control diagnostics, policy regret bounds, and sensitivity
  analysis via confounding frontiers.
