abstract: 'A typed, server-capable R interface to APSIM Next Generation, the process-based
  agricultural systems simulator. Drives the simulator for prediction over scenario
  designs, mechanism-parameter estimation, parameter calibration against observations
  (a bounded optimiser, or an iterative ensemble smoother when ''PESTO'' is present),
  global sensitivity analysis (Morris and Sobol), Gaussian-process emulation with
  leave-one-out diagnostics, validation against observations (goodness-of-fit metrics
  and a typed verdict), and the generation of known-causal-structure datasets for
  testing causal-inference methods, and returns results as a versioned, provenance-complete
  ''apsim_manifest'' object that is emitted natively into the shared orchestra manifest
  contract, so simulator output composes directly with downstream calibration, uncertainty-quantification
  and causal-inference tools; an ensemble inversion additionally bridges to a ''PESTO''
  ensemble manifest. Execution degrades gracefully: every entry point abstains with
  a typed reason when the simulator or its runtime is absent.'
