= Single-field inflation squeezed-limit consistency relation

For a single-clock adiabatic inflationary background, a long <comoving curvature perturbation> acts on short modes as a spatial dilation. The squeezed bispectrum therefore obeys
$$
\lim_{q\to0}B_{\mathcal R}(q,k,|\mathbf k+\mathbf q|)
=-(n_s-1)P_{\mathcal R}(q)P_{\mathcal R}(k)
$$
at leading order in $q/k$.
