\begin{tablenotes}\footnotesize\item Multi-label counts: a work counts in every category it is assigned to. The source file splits each year into period rows (baseline / pre / post relative to 30 November 2022); they are summed here. 2026 covers publications dated up to the snapshot of 14 October 2026. Category abbreviations as in Table~\ref{tab:ai_growth}.\end{tablenotes}
