\section{Main theorem and construction order} \label{sec:main-theorem} The edge maps must fit together at their endpoints as marked maps. Choosing each slide representative separately would not ensure that two incident edges use the same disk charts, collars, or spectator data. We therefore choose all five vertex systems before the endpoint charts and edge maps. The theorem constructs one such marked system and compares its two routes. Whenever a signed bicollar appears below, its negative normal coordinate is on the local side and its positive normal coordinate is on the spectator side. The later collar construction gives the corresponding product coordinates. Full-normal pairing identities allow the cut maps to descend and extend to global maps. Transport of the embedded meridian and dual-longitude rows then gives their homology blocks and the common preserved Lagrangian. The relative isotopy compares the two composites with their complete protected collar fixed, and the preserved Lagrangian makes the Walker seam corrections vanish. Each step concerns the same selected maps and endpoint data. Let \[ \cT=(g,N,W:X\longrightarrow Y_{\mathrm{geom}},i,j,k, \mathfrak C_{\mathrm{ext}},\lambda_g,\cL_{ijk}) \tag{4.1}\label{eq:input-tuple} \] be a supplied protected-sector tuple in the sense of \cref{sec:protected-sectors}. Thus \(g\geq 1\), \(N\geq 3\), the indices \(i,j,k\in\{1,\ldots,N\}\) are pairwise distinct, and \(\cL_{ijk}\) contains the complete protected local geometry rather than merely its homology classes. Recall the vertex and edge sets \[ V=\{0,B,A,AC,\starv\},\qquad E_5=\{0B,B\starv,0A,AAC,AC\starv\}. \tag{4.2}\label{eq:pentagon-sets-main} \] \Needspace{4\baselineskip} \begin{theorem}[Positive handleslide pentagon with complete markings] \label{thm:complete-marked-pentagon} For every tuple \(\cT\) in \eqref{eq:input-tuple}, there is a coordinated system with the following properties. \begin{enumerate}[label=\textup{(\roman*)},leftmargin=2.5em] \item \emph{One vertex-first package.} There is first one simultaneous choice \[ \mathbf V=\left( \mathfrak C_v,K_v,\cQ_v,q_v^P,q_v,q_v^{(3)}, \rho_v^{(3)},\rho_v,p_v,\bar z_v, z_v:D^2\times[0,u_0]\longrightarrow K_v \right)_{v\in V} \tag{4.3}\label{eq:vertex-package} \] with one positive, vertex-only depth \(u_0\). Every edge incident to a vertex uses the literal corresponding member of \(\mathbf V\); there are no edge-indexed replacements. On the boundary of the disk collar, \[ p_v\rho_v z_v(x,0)=\bar z_v(x). \tag{4.4}\label{eq:correct-rc0} \] The trace map \(\rho_v\) in \eqref{eq:correct-rc0} is essential for the types to match. \item \emph{Ten endpoint atlases followed by five edge triples.} Only after \(\mathbf V\) has been fixed are there a common depth \(00\) for the common full-normal pairing depth obtained during the vertex construction. The package then defines the common subordinate depths \[ u_{\mathrm{pair}} =\tfrac12\min\{u_{\mathrm{cmp}},\eps_{\mathrm{pair}}^{\mathrm{src}}\}, \qquad \eps_{\mathrm{PC5,work}}=\tfrac12u_{\mathrm{cmp}}, \qquad \eps_{\mathrm{PC5,pair}}=\tfrac12u_{\mathrm{pair}}. \tag{4.11}\label{eq:fresh-depths-main} \] In particular, no source depth is silently reused as a later compatibility depth. \item \emph{Domains and roles of the three map stages.} The three maps in \eqref{eq:three-map-triple} form one system \[ \Fcut e\longmapsto\Fquot e\longmapsto\Fglob e. \tag{4.12}\label{eq:map-registry-main} \] Cut-level face, ribbon, spoke, pairing, and internal-interface assertions belong to \(\Fcut e\). Quotient descent belongs to \(\Fquot e\). The two-sided global-\(E\) collar, the old region, and unused handles belong only to \(\Fglob e\), after descent and exterior extension. With these domains fixed, the two cut routes use the same vertex data and their discrepancy is the identity on one complete protected boundary collar. \item \emph{Homology and the common Lagrangian.} Put \[ U=\Span_{\Q}\{m_i,m_j,m_k\},\qquad \Lambda=\lambda_g^Y\oplus \bigoplus_{t\notin\{i,j,k\}}\Q[m_t]\oplus U. \tag{4.13}\label{eq:common-lagrangian-main} \] For \(e:v\to w\), let \[ h_e=p_w(\Fglob e|_{\partial_+W})p_v^{-1}:Y\longrightarrow Y. \tag{4.14}\label{eq:outgoing-map-main} \] The same global maps \(\Fglob e\) transport the embedded meridian and product-framed dual-longitude rows. Relative to the resulting splitting, \[ h_{e*}=I_{\mathrm{ext}}\oplus \begin{pmatrix}M_e&0_3\\0_3&M_e^{-T}\end{pmatrix}. \tag{4.15}\label{eq:homology-block-main} \] Both zero mixed blocks are geometric conclusions; neither is inferred from symplecticity. The actual maps and their actual inverses satisfy \[ h_{e*}\Lambda=\Lambda=h_{e*}^{-1}\Lambda. \tag{4.16}\label{eq:lag-main} \] When \(N=3\), the unused-handle sum in \eqref{eq:common-lagrangian-main} is empty. \item \emph{Relative pentagon and mapping classes.} In right-factor-first order, set \[ F_L=F_{B\starv}\compose F_{0B},\qquad F_R=F_{AC\starv}\compose F_{AAC}\compose F_{0A}. \tag{4.17}\label{eq:global-routes-main} \] There is an isotopy \(\mathscr H_s\), fixed on the prescribed complete marking and collar, with \[ \mathscr H_0=F_R^{-1}\compose F_L,\qquad \mathscr H_1=\id_W. \tag{4.18}\label{eq:rigidity-path-main} \] Consequently \(\Gamma_s=F_R\compose\mathscr H_s\) has \(\Gamma_0=F_L\) and \(\Gamma_1=F_R\). For the common background marking \(\mathfrak C_{\mathrm{bg}}\), \[ [h_{B\starv}\compose h_{0B}] = [h_{AC\starv}\compose h_{AAC}\compose h_{0A}] \quad\text{in }\pi_0\Diff^+(Y,\mathfrak C_{\mathrm{bg}}). \tag{4.19}\label{eq:mcg-pentagon-main} \] This equality is induced by the relative isotopy, not by the equality of the corresponding integer matrices. \item \emph{Literal zero-weight Walker lift.} For the Walker mapping cylinders \(H_e=C([h_e],0)\), forward composition and the two-sided equality \eqref{eq:lag-main} give \[ H_{B\starv}H_{0B} =H_{AC\starv}H_{AAC}H_{0A} =C([h_{B\starv}\compose h_{0B}],0). \tag{4.20}\label{eq:walker-main} \] Every constituent weight, all three ordered Maslov seam corrections, and both route weights are literally zero. \end{enumerate} \end{theorem} The theorem is existential, not canonical: it produces one coordinated system for every supplied protected sector. It neither asserts uniqueness nor compares arbitrary choices. The precise external boundary is collected in \cref{sec:scope-boundary}. \subsection{Construction order} \label{subsec:witness-order} For later reference, the reader-facing construction order is \begin{equation} \begin{tikzpicture}[ node distance=6mm and 6mm, stagebox/.style={draw,rounded corners=3pt,align=center,inner sep=3.5pt, text width=31mm,font=\small}, arr/.style={-{Latex[length=1.8mm]},thick} ] \node[stagebox] (vertex) {vertex data}; \node[stagebox,right=of vertex] (charts) {compatible endpoint charts}; \node[stagebox,right=of charts] (cut) {cut maps and quotient descent}; \node[stagebox,below=of cut] (global) {global extensions}; \node[stagebox,left=of global] (lag) {homology and a common Lagrangian}; \node[stagebox,left=of lag] (isotopy) {relative isotopy}; \node[stagebox,below=of isotopy] (walker) {weight-zero Walker relation}; \draw[arr] (vertex) -- (charts); \draw[arr] (charts) -- (cut); \draw[arr] (cut) -- (global); \draw[arr] (global) -- (lag); \draw[arr] (lag) -- (isotopy); \draw[arr] (isotopy) -- (walker); \end{tikzpicture} \tag{4.21}\label{eq:witness-order-main} \end{equation} The endpoint-extension equation is therefore asserted only after the representative has been selected. Likewise, the edge-dependent collar widths restrict \(u_{\mathrm{cmp}}\); they do not redefine \(u_0\), any \(z_v\), or the domain \(D^2\times[0,u_0]\).
