Phase 3p — Gaussian copula MC over Phase 3o hourly P(wet)

Gaussian copula MC over the rich+orographic Phase 3o's hourly P(wet) marginals. Single empirical Σ per station, fit on train-split observed daytime wet/dry binary sequences (daytime-shape autocorrelation is lead-independent for truth, so per-lead Σs pool into one). Captures within-day wet/dry autocorrelation that an iid sampler misses. Bake-off Brier 0.1064 aggregate on the 9 (station, lead) Bonehill cells.

Monte-Carlo P(an 2-hour dry block runs from each start hour) — one line per forecast horizon, soonest target day shown. The peak is the best time to set off; the height is how likely it stays dry. Each hour is its own probability, so the lines need not sum to the daily "any dry window" figure.
