enhanced_stance_classifier.py
=============================
Advanced stance classification system with improved context understanding,
multi-template NLI, and confidence-based decision making.
Key improvements over the original stance_classifier.py:
1. Enhanced text preprocessing with intelligent chunking
2. Multiple NLI templates for different claim types
3. Better context extraction and relevance scoring
4. Confidence-based aggregation with fallback strategies
5. Domain-specific semantic rules for common misinformation topics
