The first term is a gauge choice for the Spin coherent-state Berry phase. For a closed spin trajectory, changing the surface used to evaluate the solid angle changes the action by
(1)
The path-integral phase must be independent of that choice, so
(2)
Hence
(3)
and the spin is integer or half-integer.
