2774 — Theta Reciprocal Double Acquires an Invariant Flag Exactly on the Seam

After identifying the shared constant channel, the direct and reciprocal-conjugate theta tails have generator

$$K_z(q)= \begin{pmatrix} -z&0&-f(q)\\ 0&\bar z&-f(q)\\ 0&0&0 \end{pmatrix}.$$

The antisymmetric sheet covector $(1,-1,0)$ cancels the common forcing. It is an invariant adjoint line exactly when

$$-z=\bar z,$$

equivalently $\operatorname{Re}s=1/2$.

Thus the critical line is the locus where reciprocal spectral weights coalesce and the relative sheet coordinate gains multiplicative invariant meaning. This derives the special line independently of zero locations and gives a precise two-sector fold explanation.

It is not RH: the invariant flag appears on the seam rather than protecting the open sectors. The remaining theorem is sectorwise open-cell confinement, with boundary currents absorbing the off-seam mismatch $z+\bar z=2\operatorname{Re}z$.
