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.
