Description: Implements approximate Bayesian inference for Structural
        Equation Models (SEM) using a custom adaptation of the
        Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (Rue et al., 2009)
        <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2008.00700.x> as described in Jamil
        and Rue (2026a) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2603.25690>. Provides a
        computationally efficient alternative to Markov Chain Monte
        Carlo (MCMC) for Bayesian estimation, allowing users to fit
        latent variable models using the 'lavaan' syntax. See also the
        companion paper on implementation and workflows, Jamil and Rue
        (2026b) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2604.00671>.
