Declarations
:
: The authors used ChatGPT (OpenAI; model: GPT-4.1; access: ChatGPT web app) in June and October 2025 for language editing (grammar, wording, clarity) and limited drafting assistance (suggested rewording and minor re-ordering of sentences/paragraphs, plus a few short transition sentences) on author-drafted text. Generative AI was not used for data analysis, statistical modeling, figure/table generation, or literature verification. All content was critically reviewed and verified by the authors, who conducted plagiarism checks and take full responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of the manuscript. No confidential or personal data were provided to the tool, and no AI tool is listed as an author.
