<div>Dear Authors of Paper #55,<br>
<br>
We noticed that the camera-ready version of your paper includes two additional authors, but to the best of our knowledge, no request or explanation for this post-acceptance authorship change was submitted to the Program Chairs by the authors.</div>
<br>
<span>Post-acceptance authorship changes are generally not permitted because they may undermine the integrity of the review process and the conflict-of-interest (COI) declarations.
<span>As stated in the Call for Papers, a</span>ny such change requires prior approval from the Program Chairs, together with a detailed explanation and evidence that it complies with the ACM authorship policy and does not affect the COI declarations.</span><br>
<p></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span><span>Since no request was made before the camera-ready submission, we are unfortunately unable to approve the authorship change at this stage. Therefore, we will restore the author list to the original authors: Jaewoong Jung, Hyukyul Kang, and Jaegyu
Choi.</span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span><span><br>

<div>We appreciate your contribution to HotStorage 2026, and we believe the attendees will find your work very interesting. However, as Program Co-Chairs, we have a responsibility to ensure the integrity of the peer review process and the consistent application
of the ACM authorship policy.<br>
<br>
Thank you for your understanding.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
Young-ri Choi and Bryan S. Kim<br>
