A front worldline at fixed proper distance L along a rear observer's simultaneity slice is parametrized by the displayed equations, with velocity and Lorentz factor evaluated at the rear event. The front time is locally future-oriented when 1+αF​L/c2>0, where αF​ is the rear signed proper acceleration. At a zero of that factor the rigid coordinate extension encounters an acceleration-horizon obstruction.
