# launch_studio.R

#' Launch the SurveyStudio interface
#'
#' Opens the SurveyStudio Shiny application, a visual interface for the
#' complete surveyframe workflow. The studio includes screens to build a survey
#' draft, open an existing instrument, preview the survey, upload responses,
#' review data quality, inspect reliability, plan analyses, and export outputs.
#'
#' @param instrument An `sframe` object or NULL.
#' @param responses A data.frame, tibble, CSV file path, or NULL.
#' @param respondent_id Character or NULL. Response ID column when `responses`
#'   is a CSV path.
#' @param submitted_at Character or NULL. Submission time column when
#'   `responses` is a CSV path.
#' @param meta_cols Character vector or NULL. Metadata columns when `responses`
#'   is a CSV path.
#' @param strict Logical. Passed to [read_responses()] when `responses` is a
#'   CSV path.
#' @param screen Initial studio screen. One of `"auto"`, `"build"`,
#'   `"preview"`, `"data"`, `"quality"`, `"analysis"`, or `"dashboard"`.
#' @param port TCP port for the Shiny server.
#' @param host Host address passed to [shiny::runApp()].
#' @param launch.browser Whether to open the browser automatically.
#'
#' @return Called for its side effect.
#' @export
