Subject: [PATCH] feat: add sentiment analysis module using VADER with classify
 and score functions

Implement a new sentiment.py module that provides VADER-based sentiment analysis. The module includes an `analyze_sentiment_vader` function that classifies text as Positive, Negative, or Neutral based on compound score thresholds (>=0.05, <=-0.05), and a convenience `analyze` function wrapping the analyzer instance. Returns compound score and detailed polarity scores alongside classification.
