= Solution

Apply the same <characteristic polynomial> calculation with $U$ replaced by $B(t)$. Pathwise,
$$
\boxed{e^{i\Theta^+(t)}=e^{iB(t)},\qquad
e^{i\Theta^-(t)}=e^{-iB(t)},\qquad
\Theta^\pm(t)=\pm B(t)\pmod{2\pi}.}
$$
The real-valued processes $\pm B(t)$ give continuous lifts of these angles. The <eigenvalues> coincide whenever $B(t)\in\pi\mathbb Z$; the exponential formulas remain valid at those times.
