//! Posterior assembly and the BRCD driver.
//!
//! [`brcd_run`] is the public entry point — the supplied-CPDAG branch of the
//! authoritative `brcd_helper` (L1863) plus `brcd_update` (L1756). Given the
//! normal and anomalous datasets and a CPDAG it:
//!
//! 1. concatenates the two frames and appends the `FNODE` indicator column;
//! 2. forms the candidate root-cause sets (all `k`-subsets of the variables);
//! 3. for each candidate, enumerates valid cut configurations
//!    ([`get_configurations_multi`]), F-node-augments each, sizes its Markov
//!    equivalence class and samples one representative DAG;
//! 4. scores every unique `(node, parents)` family **once** (cached) — per-regime
//!    when `FNODE` is a parent, a single expert otherwise — as a per-row
//!    log-likelihood;
//! 5. per candidate, sums each DAG's family log-factors, adds the MEC log-weight
//!    `log(size/Σ)`, `logsumexp`-combines the DAGs per row, sums over rows, adds
//!    the log-prior, then normalizes and ranks the candidates by descending
//!    posterior.
//!
//! The CPDAG is **optional**: when [`brcd_run`] is called with `None`, it learns
//! the CPDAG from the observational (normal) data via BOSS
//! ([`crate::brcd::boss_learn`]) before running the steps above.
