Description: Fast tools for fitting sparse generalized linear models with convex
    penalties (lasso) and concave penalties (smoothly clipped absolute
    deviation and minimax concave penalty). Computation uses multi-stage convex
    relaxation and pathwise coordinate optimization with warm starts,
    active-set updates, and screening rules. Core solvers are implemented in
    C++, and coefficient paths are stored as sparse matrices for memory
    efficiency.
