Description: Provides a comprehensive and automated workflow for
        managing multicollinearity in data frames with numeric and/or
        categorical variables. The package integrates five robust
        methods into a single function: (1) target encoding of
        categorical variables based on response values (Micci-Barreca,
        2001 (Micci-Barreca, D. 2001 <doi:10.1145/507533.507538>); (2)
        automated feature prioritization to preserve key predictors
        during filtering; (3 and 4) pairwise correlation and VIF
        filtering across all variable types (numeric–numeric,
        numeric–categorical, and categorical–categorical); (5) adaptive
        correlation and VIF thresholds. Together, these methods enable
        a reliable multicollinearity management in most use cases while
        maintaining model integrity. The package also supports parallel
        processing and progress tracking via the packages 'future' and
        'progressr', and provides seamless integration with the
        'tidymodels' ecosystem through a dedicated recipe step.
