prior_to_posterior_workflow

Fit a model with priors sampled, then produce a comparison density plot that
overlays posterior, prior, and observed distributions where available.

Provides a 'brms'-like interface for fitting Bayesian regression models
using 'INLA' (Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations) and 'TMB' (Template Model Builder).
The package offers faster model fitting while maintaining familiar 'brms' syntax and
output formats. Supports fixed and mixed effects models, multiple probability distributions,
conditional effects plots, and posterior predictive checks with summary methods compatible
with 'brms'. 'TMB' integration provides fast ordinal regression capabilities. Implements
methods adapted from 'emmeans' for marginal means estimation and 'bayestestR' for Bayesian
inference assessment. Methods are based on Rue et al. (2009) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2008.00700.x>,
Kristensen et al. (2016) <doi:10.18637/jss.v070.i05>, Lenth (2016) <doi:10.18637/jss.v069.i01>,
Bürkner (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v080.i01>, Makowski et al. (2019) <doi:10.21105/joss.01541>,
