Create @calypr/dataframer repository with extracted FHIR metadata dataframe functionality

[Copilot]

This PR creates a complete new repository structure for @calypr/dataframer that extracts only the "meta dataframe" command functionality from the gen3_util repository, providing a focused, lightweight tool for FHIR metadata processing.

Problem Statement

The gen3_util repository contains valuable FHIR metadata dataframe generation capabilities, but they're embedded within a larger ecosystem management tool with many dependencies. There was a need to extract just the dataframe functionality into a standalone package.

Solution

Created a complete calypr_dataframer package that extracts and simplifies the core dataframe functionality:

Core Features Extracted

• LocalFHIRDatabase: SQLite-based FHIR data processing engine
• create_dataframe(): Main function for generating structured dataframes from FHIR metadata
• SimplifiedResource: FHIR resource flattening and normalization utilities
• CLI Interface: Simple calypr-dataframer dataframe command
• Multi-Resource Support: DocumentReference, ResearchSubject, MedicationAdministration, Specimen, GroupMember

Package Structure

├── __init__.py           # Package initialization

├── dataframer.py        # Core functionality (extracted from gen3_tracker/meta/dataframer.py)
├── entities.py          # FHIR utilities (extracted from gen3_tracker/meta/entities.py)

├── test_dataframer.py   # Core functionality tests
├── test_entities.py     # Entity utility tests
setup.py                 # Package configuration
pyproject.toml          # Modern Python packaging
requirements.txt        # Minimal dependencies (7 packages)
README.md               # Complete documentation

Key Improvements

• Simplified Dependencies: Reduced from 20+ dependencies to just 7 core packages
• Focused Scope: Removed all gen3-specific functionality (auth, projects, git operations)
• Standalone Operation: No external service dependencies
• Modern Packaging: Both setuptools and PEP 621 configurations
• Comprehensive Documentation: Usage examples, API reference, and demos

Usage Examples

# Generate dataframe from FHIR metadata
calypr-dataframer dataframe DocumentReference ./META

# Interactive exploration with dtale
calypr-dataframer dataframe Specimen ./META --dtale

# Custom output file
calypr-dataframer dataframe ResearchSubject ./META subjects.csv

# Python API usage
from calypr_dataframer.dataframer import create_dataframe
import tempfile

with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as work_dir:
    df = create_dataframe("./META", work_dir, "DocumentReference")
    df.to_csv("output.csv", index=False)

Validation

• ✅ Package imports successfully
• ✅ All 16 files created with proper structure
• ✅ CLI interface properly defined
• ✅ Test suite covers core functionality
• ✅ Complete documentation provided

The new repository is ready for deployment as an independent @calypr/dataframer package, providing researchers and developers with a focused tool for FHIR metadata analysis without the complexity of the full gen3 ecosystem.
