Description: Builds matched nulls for cluster-count claims: synthetic twins of a
    dataset that preserve every marginal distribution exactly and the
    correlation matrix approximately, while containing no cluster structure by
    construction. A reported number of clusters or "types" can then be tested
    against what the data's own margins and covariance already produce, using
    any clustering pipeline. A t-copula option is a sensitivity check that adds
    tail dependence to the reference, so an apparent excess of clusters can be
    rerun against a heavier-tailed reference; neither outcome of that rerun
    establishes that types exist. Implements the matched-null procedure of Meng (2026) "Types
    Without Taxa" <doi:10.17605/OSF.IO/2EKCG>.
