Description: Generates blocked designs for mixed-level factorial experiments for a 
    given block size. Internally, it uses finite-field based, collapsed, and heuristic 
    methods to construct block structures that minimize confounding between block 
    effects and factorial effects. The package creates the full treatment combination 
    table, partitions runs into blocks, and computes detailed confounding diagnostics 
    for main effects and two-factor interactions. It also checks orthogonal factorial 
    structure (OFS) and computes efficiencies of factorial effects using the methods 
    of Nair and Rao (1948) <doi:10.1111/j.2517-6161.1948.tb00005.x>. When OFS is not satisfied but 
    the design has equal treatment replications and equal block sizes, a general method 
    based on the C-matrix and custom contrast vectors is used to compute efficiencies. 
    The output includes the generated design, finite-field metadata, confounding 
    summaries, OFS diagnostics, and efficiency results.
