All body formulas use

If

then , so the alternative notation has exactly the same right-hand side. The two expressions

are identical. An extra sign reversal of would be an error.

An actual change from to , while keeping fixed, would negate the response, the current, and the defect. It would leave the zero conditions and unchanged.

For , the raw adjoint identity is

Integrating the metric derivative by parts gives

Its initial-surface components are

The canonical distribution formula is

There is only one in the displayed delta coefficient. An intermediate expression with must also expand the product , which removes one copy.

Figure fig:sign-audit summarizes the conventions audited in this appendix.
