contents We extract a target-side Cu transverse-momentum profile from fixed-target $p$--Cu Drell--Yan data by holding a momentum-space proton reference fixed and training only an asymmetric Cu kernel in the small-$q_T$ region. In the supported window, $0.15 \le x_{Cu} \le 0.46$ and $7.5 \le Q_M \le 15.75$ GeV, the nuclear modification is not a universal width increase. It appears as $Q$-dependent redistribution: an $\mathcal{O}(1~{\rm GeV})$ shoulder and compensating probability flow between shoulder and resolved-tail regions, beyond one-parameter broadening.
