VERDICT: correct

## Summary

The derivation answers all four requested items using the quoted inputs and stated assumptions. The order-invariance argument and finite-angle induction correctly establish the neighbour relation’s properties and preservation of connected components; the shortest-path construction correctly yields the claimed extended metric. The chain example is correctly derived for every finite \(m\ge1\), including the disconnected \(m=1\) case and the example with \(\ell>\pi/2\).

## Issues

None.

## Focus points

None given.
