Description: Tools for analyzing and visualizing networks, built on
        'igraph' and returning 'ggplot2' objects rather than drawing
        them, so that diagnostics can be composed and customized.
        Summarizes global topology and per-node centrality, identifies
        hubs, bottlenecks and community structure, and classifies nodes
        into connectivity roles following Guimera and Amaral (2005)
        <doi:10.1038/nature03288>. Extracts interpretable subnetworks
        around a set of nodes, including approximate Steiner trees
        after Kou, Markowsky and Berman (1981)
        <doi:10.1007/BF00288961>. Propagates influence from seed nodes
        using Laplacian smoothing, heat-kernel and
        random-walk-with-restart diffusion, with degree-matched
        permutation nulls, and simulates network robustness under
        progressive node removal. Observed metrics, including the
        small-world coefficient, can be tested against
        degree-preserving random ensembles for statistical
        significance. Edge weights are supported throughout, with an
        explicit declaration of whether a weight means strength or
        distance. Matrix operations use sparse representations
        throughout so that the methods remain usable on large graphs.
