Start the planar Brownian motion $X_t+i{Y}_t$ at $-x$ and stop at $\tau =\inf \{t:X_t=0\}$. The complex exponential is holomorphic with nonzero derivative. By conformal invariance of planar Brownian motion, the process $e^{X_t+i{Y}_t}$, run on its conformal Brownian clockis planar Brownian motion started at $\epsilon =e^{-x}$, until its first exit from the unit disk. The clock is strictly increasing before $\tau$, and $A_{\tau }\le \tau <\infty$ almost surely. It is legitimate to use the exponential although it is not globally injective: the Brownian coordinate brackets depend locally on the nonzero derivative, and the clock construction gives the stopped planar Brownian law. Before $\tau$, $|e^{X_t+i{Y}_t}|<1$; at $\tau$ it equals one. Hence the disk exit time in the new clock is exactly $A_{\tau }$.

The continuous lifted argument of this path, starting from angle zero, is $Y_t$. Its total argument at exit is therefore $Y_{\tau }$, which has distribution $xC$ by part (b). If the winding count records only completed integer turns, it differs from $Y_{\tau }/(2\pi )$ by a remainder $R_{\epsilon }$ with $|R_{\epsilon }|\le 1$. If fractional turns are retained, that remainder is zero. In either convention, since $\log \epsilon =-x$,The first term has distribution $-C/(2\pi )$ for every $x$, and the second tends to zero deterministically in absolute value as $x\to \infty$. Symmetry of the Cauchy distribution removes the minus sign, so Slutsky theorem gives the small-radius Brownian winding law:
