Core image-processing pipeline for cochlear neurofilament tracing.
Handles:
* Loading Zeiss CZI z-stacks and generic TIFF stacks (with voxel sizes).
* Channel identification (Neurofilament vs Myo7a).
* 3D tracing of the neurofilament network into a single continuous skeleton.
* Myo7a-guided splitting of the field into an IHC region and an OHC region.
* Per-region quantification: number of fibers, diameter, length,
branch points and area covered within the field of view.
The module has no Gradio dependency so it can be unit-tested on its own.
