Demonstrated Problem
The legacy one-loop source path drops finite widths from tree propagators and loop bridges. In
e+ e- > u u~, this shifts the Born result and every virtual coefficient by the same relative amount (about 1.28e-7 at one of the tested points). Setting only the reference Z width to zero removes the discrepancy.Minimal Fix
+i*m*widthto the shared tree/bridge denominator helper. Born, local counterterms and loop bridges use the same helper.This is a fixed-width tree/bridge prescription, not a complex-mass renormalization scheme. Integral-family masses and the v2 engine are unchanged. No process-specific colour or Born-factor shortcut is used.
Validation
git diff --checkpasses.The numerical fixture was run in the isolated MadNkLO integration based on
loopat36f43250, with the package-scope fix from #30. The three files touched here are unchanged between that base and this PR base. Generated artifacts/reports remain local; this PR contains only the source fix and small regression.
