A Dirichlet boundary condition at a hard endpoint and a single smooth classical turning point give the leading WKB quantization condition , with . The phase differs from the two-soft-turning-point condition because the hard wall imposes an exact wavefunction zero rather than an Airy function connection phase. The WKB validity condition is still checked in the interior.
