/// @brief Analyzes input clauses and selects the optimal Calculus.
///
/// Before the Prover starts its main loop, the ProblemAnalyzer inspects
/// the input clause set to determine problem characteristics:
///   - Contains equality?             → enable paramodulation
///   - Pure Horn clauses?             → use SLD resolution
///   - Contains arithmetic literals?  → enable theory solver
///   - Problem size / clause density  → tune resource limits
///
/// This is the "auto mode" that mature ATPs use to avoid loading
/// unnecessary inference rules that would explode the search space.
