/**
* @brief Core implementation of the weak screening calculation (Debye-Hückel model).
*
* This function calculates the screening factor `exp(H_12)` for each reaction,
* based on the Debye-Hückel approximation as formulated by Salpeter (1954).
*
* @tparam T The numeric type (`double` or `CppAD::AD<double>`).
* @param reactions The set of reactions to be screened.
* @param species The list of all species in the network.
* @param Y The molar abundances of the species.
* @param T9 The temperature in 10^9 K.
* @param rho The density in g/cm^3.
* @return A vector of screening factors, one for each reaction.
*
* @b Algorithm
* 1. **Low-Temperature Cutoff**: If T9 is below a small threshold (1e-9),
* screening is effectively turned off to prevent numerical instability.
* 2. **Zeta Factor (ζ)**: A composition-dependent term is calculated:
* `ζ = (Z_i² + Z_i) * Y_i`, where Z_i is the charge and Y_i is the
* molar abundance of species i.
* 3. **Prefactor**: A key prefactor is computed:
* `prefactor = 0.188 * sqrt(ρ / T³) * sqrt(ζ)`,
* where T is the temperature in units of 10^7 K.
* 4. **Screening Term (H_12)**: For each reaction, the term H_12 is calculated:
* - For a two-body reaction (reactants Z and Z): `H_12 = prefactor * Z * Z`.
* - For the triple-alpha reaction (3 * He4): `H_12 = 3 * (prefactor * Z_α * Z_α)`.
* - For one-body reactions (decays), H_12 is 0, so the factor is 1.
* 5. **Capping**: The value of H_12 is capped at 2.0 to prevent excessively large
* and unphysical screening factors (exp(2) 7.4).
* 6. **Final Factor**: The screening factor for the reaction is `exp(H_12)`.
