Comments: v2: symmetry correction (the linear envelope coupling of v1 is forbidden and withdrawn; amplitude and phase couplings separated), new and fully documented Monte Carlo replacing all v1 numbers, predictions restated against the 2026 RSXS result (Lee et al., PRL 136, 186502). 19 pages, 10 figures, 5 tables, 75 references. Simulation code and analysis scripts as ancillary files
