		Functional Multivariable Mendelian Randomization // Implements
		Multivariable Functional Mendelian Randomization (MV-FMR) to
		estimate time-varying causal effects of multiple longitudinal
		exposures on health outcomes. Extends univariable functional
		Mendelian Randomisation (MR) (Tian et al., 2024
		doi:10.1002/sim.10222) to the multivariable setting, enabling
		joint estimation of multiple time-varying exposures with
		pleiotropy and mediation scenarios. Key features include: (1)
		data-driven cross-validation for basis component selection, (2)
		handling of mediation pathways between exposures, (3) support
		for both continuous and binary outcomes using Generalized
		Method of Moments (GMM) and control function approaches, (4)
		one-sample and two-sample MR designs, (5) bootstrap inference
		and instrument diagnostics including Q-statistics for
		overidentification testing. Methods are described in Fontana et
		al. (2025) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2512.19064.
