Paper 29 in the "Geometry of the Critical Line" programme. The Jacobian of the Newton map at the relay exit is uniformly expanding and perfectly conformal, with condition number 1.00 across all alpha values, which rules out a local derivative-level mechanism for the routing transition in the map C-alpha of z equals z minus exp of negative alpha over z. This paper treats the relay exit, defined by real part of u equal to 1.5, as a measured Poincaré-style section, records the first outward crossing of each convergent orbit, and decomposes the bounce overlap into orbit-measure and corridor-geometry contributions using frozen-reference controls. The result is a mixed mechanism: both orbit redistribution and corridor-geometry shift contribute, and neither one alone reproduces the full transition. A reference-sensitivity analysis using reference alpha values 0.42, 0.481, 0.50, and 0.60 confirms that orbit-measure redistribution is the stronger contributor at every reference tested, although the absolute explanatory power remains limited in the core transition neighborhood. The routing transition is therefore best understood as a spread-overlap phenomenon at the relay exit within a uniformly expanding, conformal field.
