Single-valued semiclassical phase on a closed classical orbit quantizes its action, with Maslov index μ accounting for turning-point phase corrections. A cyclic angle has no oscillator turning points: its wavefunctions are eiℓq, with signed ℓ∈Z for a 2π period and canonical momentum ℏℓ. There is no half-integer shift for that free angular coordinate.
