An actual off-path node unwinds to a strict ancestor, including returns transported from any number of descendant sweeps.
A short return retains its emitting leaf's state, apart from the fixed-point cleanup and first-path controls updated by enclosing loops.

Instances For
The nauty cleanup operations retain the state of a short return's origin.
The receiving loop reads the emitting leaf's admitted pair in its own fields. Its target is the canonical ancestor for an explicit pair, and is bounded by the cheap boundary's parent for an implicit pair.
At a receiving loop, an implicit pair frozen below the parent fixes every vertex of the parent path, even before partition recovery.
A node's short-prune payload comes from an actual leaf emission, including when the return crosses several intermediate loops.
A sweep transports the emitting leaf's workspace and partition until the target loop consumes the short-prune request.
