Exhibited Poisson symbol does not descend.
Complete functional descends for the specified retarded gauge group.
Hausdorff quotient Cauchy problem; nonzero compact Ward observables.
No arrow identifies these four quotients. They use different variables, equations, and actions.

The four rows are different equation-space questions. The second row does not define a quotient by general compact gauges. No arrow identifying the rows is presumed.
