Disclosure: AI aided
For clarity, my use of AI is neither casual nor passive. It involved deliberate prompting, extensive iteration, selection, and refinement, over many hours - technically days - and additional manual editing/drawing to correct. The final result exists because I directed the process from concept to execution. AI was a tool in that workflow, not a replacement for authorship.
