Phase 3q — Gaussian copula MC over Phase 3c hourly P(wet)

Gaussian copula MC over Phase 3c's hourly P(wet) marginals — the 3p engine bound to the rich (non-orographic) 3c instead of 3o, for coastal locations without a 3o model. Single empirical Σ per station from train-split observed daytime wet/dry sequences. Captures within-day wet/dry autocorrelation an iid sampler misses; scored against the 3b champion at Sennen.

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.
