//! Library-side orchestration for NUTS posterior sampling from a saved model.
//!
//! The CLI's `gam sample` subcommand and the Python `Model.sample(...)` API
//! both call into [`sample_saved_model`], which dispatches on the saved
//! model's class (standard GLM, standard with link-wiggle, or survival) and
//! returns a fully-converged [`NutsResult`] over the original coefficient
//! space. Gaussian identity standard models are sampled from the saved
//! closed-form posterior, conditioning on the training fit rather than any
//! prediction rows supplied by the caller.
