Transport of resolution saddle maps #
The merge and split maps on actual resolved-circle tensors commute with transport of the smoothed diagrams. The smoothing equivalences at the two endpoints must use the same half-edge bijection and the same bijection of labelled isolated circles. This includes native relabellings, slot rotations, mirror with complemented states, and isolated-circle permutations. The resulting squares retain all factors, including the circles disjoint from the saddle.
These are unsigned identities over every commutative semiring. Cube-order signs belong to the
signed totalization, while circle reindexing contributes no sign. The combinatorial square is
TauCeti.PDCode.SmoothingEquiv.resolvedCircleCongr_saddleResolvedCircleMap; multiplication and
the adjoint split transport along that square by their existing composition laws.

Reindexing the source and target circles commutes with an actual resolution merge. The circle bijections retain every isolated-circle label.
Reindexing the source and target circles commutes with an actual resolution split. This uses the same endpoint transports as the reverse merge.
