A Wormhole Inside Its Perturbation: What the Smallness Assumption Costs the Cosmological-Constant Deformation

Prices the linear-order smallness assumption Lambda r_0^2 << 1 and radial domain r << sqrt(3/Lambda) behind arXiv:2605.08205's deformation of the Ellis-Bronnikov wormhole by a positive cosmological constant. Every positive verdict is local, first-order, and in-domain; the global extension is a discussed possibility, not a construction; a labelled illustration at the observed Lambda scale shows the binding boundary is the expansion's order, not its radius. The ordered corpus search names the k-essence wormhole pricing of the previous wave as nearest house object, a different species of step. Quantum gravity NOT SOLVED; vacuum catastrophe NOT SOLVED.
