 rates differ across groups. Treat the MATLAB numbers as a sensitivity check
 on the Python's conclusions, not as a numerically-identical reproduction.

+## Scope vs. the Python
+
+The MATLAB port reproduces the Python's three core models (count, rate,
+learning-rate), per-animal tests, unknown-group classification, and the H2
+verdict (read off the main model's A2-vs-B2 term). The Python's two auxiliary
+sensitivity sections — `report_anchor_only` (a two-anchor-only refit) and
+`report_mixed` (a Bayesian MAP random-intercept model) — are intentionally
+**not** ported: the anchor-only refit is closely tracked by the main-model H2
+term, and MATLAB's native `fitglme` already *is* the random-intercept model.
