abstract: Provides S7-based infrastructure for fitting mediation models, extracting
  path coefficients, and performing bootstrap inference. Designed as a foundation
  package for the mediation analysis ecosystem, supporting 'probmed', 'RMediation',
  and 'medrobust' packages. Implements unified interfaces for model fitting across
  different engines (currently generalized linear models, with future support for
  mixed models and Bayesian methods), standardized extraction of mediation paths from
  various model types, and robust bootstrap inference methods. Mediation methods are
  described in MacKinnon, Lockwood and Williams (2004) <https://doi.org/10.1207/s15327906mbr3901_4>,
