/**
 * Adds Contentstack Live Preview (CSLP) data tags to an entry for editable UIs.
 * Mutates the entry by attaching a `$` property with tag strings or objects
 * (e.g. `data-cslp` / `data-cslp-parent-field`) for each field, including nested
 * objects and references. Supports variant-aware tagging when the entry has
 * applied variants.
 *
 * @param entry - The entry (EmbeddedItem) to tag. Must have uid and optional system/applied variants.
 * @param contentTypeUid - Content type UID (e.g. `blog_post`). Used as part of the tag path.
 * @param tagsAsObject - If true, tags are stored as objects (e.g. `{ "data-cslp": "..." }`); if false, as strings (e.g. `data-cslp=...`).
 * @param locale - Locale code for the tag path (default: `'en-us'`).
 * @param options.useLowerCaseLocale - Optional boolean to make locale case-insensitive.
