Gaussian saddle and endpoint dominance by angle ($f(\theta ,\lambda )$)

For a Gaussian integral from $-1/\sqrt{2}$ to $e^{i\theta }$, a saddle point contribution dominates for $0\le \theta \le \pi /4$. The moving endpoint contribution in steepest descent dominates for $\pi /4<\theta <5\pi /6$. At $5\pi /6$ the two endpoints have equal exponential rates and both are needed; for larger angles the fixed endpoint dominates. Saddle connectivity switches at $\pi /2$, but that change is subdominant in the leading endpoint regime.
