Description: Defines 'cellspec', a versioned table format for segmented
        cells from multiplexed tissue images: cell identifiers,
        centroids in micrometres, per-marker measurements with an
        explicit compartment and statistic, image and channel metadata,
        and provenance. Reads measurement exports of image-analysis
        tools such as 'QuPath' and 'MCMICRO' into this format,
        validates its structure and content, selects one signal per
        marker through an explicit policy, and writes directories with
        a 'SHA-256' checksum manifest so that later analysis steps can
        verify what they read. 'QuPath' is described by Bankhead et al.
        (2017) <doi:10.1038/s41598-017-17204-5> and 'MCMICRO' by
        Schapiro et al. (2022) <doi:10.1038/s41592-021-01308-y>.
