Description: Turns a confidential tabular dataset - a single table, a
        folder of files, or a multi-sheet workbook - into a
        structurally faithful synthetic clone suitable for pipeline
        development. Experimental-design allocation and the NA pattern
        are preserved exactly; categorical design, treatment, and
        covariate vocabularies can be reversibly aliased; outcome and
        numeric-covariate values are re-simulated via a Gaussian copula
        that preserves the global covariance structure. Columns shared
        across tables are aliased consistently so the synthetic tables
        still join. A private 'recipe' object round-trips a pipeline
        written against the synthetic clone onto the original data. Not
        a differential-privacy or anonymisation tool: outputs are
        development surrogates, not public-release-safe artefacts.
