The approximate QSD unraveling with pseudomode embedding was selected for its ability to evolve the full Gaussian covariance matrix efficiently over long times and at finite temperature, where HEOM or direct integration of a high-dimensional extended master equation becomes prohibitive. The three reported mechanisms (detuning freeze, birth-death-revival, and integer-locked beating) originate from the structure of the spectral density and the detuning condition; they appear already at the level of the memory kernel and are therefore expected to survive under exact dynamics. Nevertheless, to meet the referee’s standard we will add a dedicated validation subsection in the Methods. This will include (i) short-time comparisons of the covariance evolution against the exact pseudomode master equation for representative parameter sets, (ii) convergence tests with respect to the number of pseudomodes, and (iii) error estimates based on the neglected higher-order terms in the QSD expansion. These additions will be placed before the results sections so that readers can assess the reliability of the plotted trajectories.","revision_made":"yes","referee_comment":"The central claims rest on the accuracy of the approximate Non-Markovian QSD scheme and pseudomode embeddings for the entanglement measures (Bures distance and logarithmic negativity).
