arXiv: auto-expand the author list

Automatically clicks the "Show more authors" toggle so you see the full collaborator list without extra clicks.

Code to copy

// Auto-expand the collapsed author list ("Show more authors")
(function () {
  function expand() {
    document.querySelectorAll('a, button').forEach(function (el) {
      if (el.dataset.jzArxExpand) { return; }
      var t = (el.textContent || '').toLowerCase();
      if (/show (more|all) authors|expand authors|view all authors/.test(t)) {
        el.dataset.jzArxExpand = '1';
        el.click();
      }
    });
    document.querySelectorAll('.authors .more-authors, .authors-collapsed, .et_al').forEach(function (el) {
      el.style.display = 'inline';
      el.removeAttribute('hidden');
    });
  }
  expand();
  new MutationObserver(function () {
    clearTimeout(window.__jzArxAuthors);
    window.__jzArxAuthors = setTimeout(expand, 350);
  }).observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
})();
