An observation plateau does not imply causal-region switch constancy. The Action Ward Identity is not a proved diffeomorphism Ward identity for this composite.

Switching-region audit. Compact switching produces explicit terms in the local Noether identity and when densities are changed by total derivatives. The plateau witness retains a retarded switching contribution even though the pointwise plateau term vanishes near the observation. These identities do not authorize dropping switching terms from a proposed quantum Ward identity.
