Audit review

The paper’s Proposition 6.1 proves that the modified monodromy operator M̃ has two unit eigenfunctions, the phase mode Jψ and the translation mode ψx, implying a unit Floquet multiplier with multiplicity at least two. The candidate solution derives exactly the same identities by differentiating the phase- and translation-equivariance and then precomposing with R(−θ). It also supplies a clear linear-independence argument for {Jψ, ψx}, which the paper asserts implicitly. No substantive conflict exists; the proofs are essentially the same.

Referee report (LaTeX)

\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions

\textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field

\textbf{Justification:}

The theoretical result on symmetry-induced unit multipliers in the modified monodromy operator is sound and aligns with standard symmetry arguments. The numerical validation is convincing and the methodological contributions are useful for practitioners. Minor clarifications (explicit independence of symmetry modes; explicit multiplicity type in the proposition) would improve precision without altering results.
