Description: Fits Bayesian hierarchical piecewise regression models with 
    multiple logistic-smoothed change-points. Non-linear parameters (change-point 
    locations and transition sharpness) and linear parameters can each be 
    conditioned on covariates and factors via flexible design matrices. 
    A random-intercept structure is supported for any parameter. Spike-and-slab 
    regularization is supported for selecting the number of breakpoints. 
    Posterior inference uses a Metropolis-within-Gibbs sampler implemented 
    in 'Rust' for speed. Methods are based on the smooth transition 
    piecewise regression model of Bacon and Watts (1971) <doi:10.2307/2334389>
    and variable selection spike-and-slab priors of Kuo and Mallick (1998)
    <https://www.jstor.org/stable/25053023>. Methods are described in
    Bindoff (2026) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2606.19044>.
