The first arm edge in right hook and cohook factorizations #
For a strict-growth factorization of a right hook through a literal string, the outward edge of the selected full-target interval forces the first factor component to continue across the hook's actual first new position. Both orientation-preserving and orientation-reversing overlaps are retained.
Pointwise factorization alignment identifies the first component above the position selected by the full-output-support second component.
In the strict-growth branch, the first factor component continues across the actual first new position of the right hook.
Pointwise factorization alignment identifies the second component below the position selected by the full-input-support first component.
In the strict-growth branch, the second factor component continues across the actual first new position of the right cohook.
