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
$$
\Delta S_B=4\pi S.
$$
The path-integral phase $e^{iS_B}$ must be independent of that choice, so
$$
e^{i4\pi S}=1.
$$
Hence
$$
\boxed{2S\in\mathbb Z},
$$
and the spin is integer or half-integer.
