Almost-split morphisms under locally closed functors #
For preservation of a right almost-split map, essential surjectivity is needed only for objects carrying a nonzero nonsplit map to its endpoint. The left statement is dual. These local conditions isolate the role of the first Hom neighborhoods in the covering-control argument, while minimality of either map is preserved by full faithfulness alone.
Every object relevant to testing right almost-splitness at F.obj Y lies
in the essential image. The zero map is excluded because it factors
trivially and needs no object lift.
