The following change has been made to the data availability declaration:

The original read:

The data analyzed in this study were obtained through in-depth interviews conducted during the research process. The complete dataset, along with detailed insights from these interviews, is publicly available on Figshare at the following link: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.29710487.v1. For any additional inquiries, the corresponding author can be contacted upon reasonable request.

The statement now reads:

This study includes both qualitative and quantitative components. The qualitative data consist of semi-structured interviews with executives and managers from the State Grid Corporation of China and its subsidiaries. Owing to confidentiality agreements and the sensitive nature of the materials, the full interview transcripts are not publicly available. Anonymized summaries or selected excerpts may be available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request, subject to interviewee consent and institutional approval. Moreover, the quantitative component does not involve a pre-existing empirical dataset. Specifically, the reinforcement learning model was developed through iterative simulation and self-exploration. The relevant materials, including the simulation settings, model configuration files, and other information necessary to reproduce the quantitative analysis, are available on Figshare: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.29710487.v1.

The following change has been made to the Ethical approval declaration:

The original read:

This article does not contain any studies with human participants performed by any of the authors.

This statement now reads:

This study was performed in line with the ethical standards of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments, ensuring the protection of all participants’ rights and welfare. For the involved semi-structured interviews with orally informed adult practitioners, we have applied anonymization and confidentiality measures. During the interview data collection period (i.e., from December 2018 to January 2024), our institution, Wuhan University of Technology, had not established a formal social‑science ethics review mechanism; under the institutional policy framework then in force, anonymized, non‑interventional, minimal‑risk interview studies were exempt from prior ethics committee review.

The following change has been made to the Informed consent declaration.

The original read:

The manuscript is approved by all authors for publication.

This statement now reads:

Informed consent was obtained orally from all interview participants prior to participation in interviews conducted from December 2018 to January 2024. Before interviewing, participants were informed of the study purpose, interview topics, anticipative data application, anonymization and confidentiality measures, the voluntary nature of participation, and their right to withdraw at any time. The provision of oral consent was documented by a notation in the interviewer’s research log. Oral consent was reconfirmed before recording, covering participation, recording, use of de‑identified data for analysis, and publication of anonymized findings that cannot reasonably identify individuals or organizations.
