flatten_simulation_results

This function takes the nested list output from run_simulation() and converts
it into a tidy data.table where each row represents one item response.
The function pre-allocates the data.table to the exact size needed and then
fills it efficiently. Column names are dynamically determined from the first
trial result, excluding any .item_params verbose output.

Simulation-based evidence accumulation models for analyzing responses
and reaction times in single- and multi-response tasks. The package includes
simulation engines for five representative models: the Diffusion Decision
Model (DDM), Leaky Competing Accumulator (LCA), Linear Ballistic Accumulator
(LBA), Racing Diffusion Model (RDM), and Levy Flight Model (LFM), and
extends these frameworks to multi-response settings. The package supports
user-defined functions for item-level parameterization and the incorporation
of covariates, enabling flexible customization and the development of new
model variants based on existing architectures. Inference is performed using
simulation-based methods, including Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC)
and Amortized Bayesian Inference (ABI), which allow parameter estimation
without requiring tractable likelihood functions. In addition to core
inference tools, the package provides modules for parameter recovery,
posterior predictive checks, and model comparison, facilitating the study of
a wide range of cognitive processes in tasks involving perceptual decision
making, memory retrieval, and value-based decision making. Key methods
