Research direction

Start with the rv-multi.ipynb case study at the linked tutorial, using Python 3.8.5, exoplanet 0.5.1, and the reported macOS setup. Reproduce the RuntimeError: Chain 0 failed and compare the result with the expected two-chain sampling output; the issue is resolved when the case study runs successfully.
