The actual child either retains the old reference and does not raise its ancestor, or installs a reference through the chosen vertex.
A canonical reference pointing above the child is precisely the reference held by the receiving parent before the child was entered.
Later siblings use the partition-only canonical-return theorem.
Later siblings retain precisely the reference above their child.
At a frozen sweep frame, a canonical ancestor pointing to this level names a child already bounded by the incumbent.

Instances For
A reference expressed in a frozen frame also belongs to the current frame's cells after labels have been permuted within those cells.
The guide's reference vertex belongs to the original target window, even if a filter has removed it from the mutable target set.
A canonical return to this loop names its previously covered reference child, even before the returned partition is recovered.
The receiving loop uses either its old covered reference or the child whose result was just absorbed, then clamps the reference's ancestor.
A child's guide survives both first-child control updates and fixed-point cleanup. Only the reached partition is required, so this also applies before any first-path sibling has returned.
