Derived from a live 2026-08-30 probe of the real endpoint, not from EPrints documentation. Field names and types are exactly those observed. Note the KFUPM-local `arabic_abstract` field alongside `english_abstract` — a genuinely institution-specific extension to the stock EPrints model. Personal data observed in live records (student contact_email, advisor and creator names) is described here but no live values are stored in this repo.",
