Contents include: References_Audit.xlsx and References_for_Zenodo.csv — DOI-verified citation lists with manuscript/SI cross-links. NC_References_Final.docx — formatted Vancouver-style references block for direct manuscript insertion. Preflight_Checklist.pdf — submission audit (ethics placeholders, figures, SI, cover letter).
