Description: Qualitatively code a corpus by asking a local language
        model a set of questions about each document and reading the
        answer from the model's next-token probability distribution
        rather than parsing its text. Extraction never fails to parse,
        returns a probability per label, and reports the probability
        mass the model placed outside the label set. Includes the
        auditing steps that separate usable annotation from
        plausible-looking output. These inspect the documents that
        fired on an item and draw blinded samples for human coding.
        Requires a running Ollama server.
