Description: Implements the 'ASC-CFD' (Assemblage Shift Characterization -
    Community Functional Dynamics) framework for decomposing functional community
    restructuring into positional (centroid displacement), dispersive
    (functional dispersion), and boundary (convex hull volume) components.
    Provides hierarchical null models (structural, quantitative, identity)
    to evaluate statistical significance and species-level leverage analysis
    to identify taxa driving functional shifts. Supports both temporal
    (paired) and spatial (pairwise) comparisons.
