Our best-fit VULCAN chemical profiles. We highlight the 1σ retrieved planetary temperature and abundances from our final retrieval model with POSEIDON (M2.5; see Table 6) for our best-constrained species (H2O, CH4, and NH3) and show the abundances for these species as solid lines. For ease of comparison against forward model expectations from VULCAN, we also highlight the abundance profiles of C2H4 and HCN as solid lines. These species were part of follow-up retrieval tests that yielded tentative volume mixing ratios (VMRs) of ﹩\mathrm{log}{{\rm{C}}}_{2}{{\rm{H}}}_{4}=-6.2{0}_{-2.09}^{+0.49}﹩ and ﹩\mathrm{log}{\rm{HCN}}=-5.7{1}_{-0.39}^{+0.34}﹩ (see Section 6.2).
