Description: Deduplicates datasets by retaining the most complete and
        informative records. Identifies duplicated entries based on a
        specified key column, calculates completeness scores for each
        row, and compares values within groups. When differences
        between duplicates exceed a user-defined threshold, records are
        split into unique IDs; otherwise, they are coalesced into a
        single, most complete entry. Returns a list containing the
        original duplicates, the split entries, and the final coalesced
        dataset. Useful for cleaning survey or administrative data
        where duplicated IDs may reflect minor data entry
        inconsistencies.
