With the full boundary metric fixed, first variation gives dx​dg​(w)=−⟨vin​,w⟩ and dy​dg​(z)=⟨vout​,z⟩ for tangential endpoint variations. These covectors recover the tangential parts of both unit velocities. Their normal components follow from unit length and the inward/outward sign, so equal boundary distances give equal scattering relations. Without a fixed boundary metric, the bundle identification must first be gauged by a boundary-fixing diffeomorphism.
