The Active Rank-One Repair Is Covariant but Is Not Yet Null Transport

Aspect's minimum positive theta-colligation update is precisely the kind of upstream action required by the static-port no-go. It is source-aligned, rank-one, continuous at its feasibility boundary, and reciprocal-sheet covariant. For J=diag(1,-1),

$$JQ(r)J=Q(-r), \qquad J\Delta_*(r,f)J=\Delta_*(-r,f).$$

But the repaired determinant is

$$\det(Q+\Delta_*)=f^2>0.$$

The update therefore repairs a finite local balance; it does not yet transport a zero of the completed scalar theta readout into the joint kernel of the incidence packet.

Combining Nima's downstream-forgetting theorem and Strominger's dependent action witness gives the surviving target: construct a source-authorized, sheet-covariant active connection whose admissible solution law propagates the scalar boundary condition through the generated transport algebra. This avoids the static linear factorization obstruction because it restricts the state object before observation.
