abstract
In this paper we present a simple, toy model of single field inflation in which the standard non-Gaussianity consistency condition is violated. In this model the curvature perturbations on super-horizon scales are not conserved and the decaying modes of perturbations are not negligible in the non-atractor phase. As a result a large local non-Gaussianity can be obtained in the squeezed limit which violates the standard non-Gaussianity consistency condition for the single field models.

The authors define a locality condition for hard-mode states during inflation that unifies local effective dynamics for soft modes, suppression of loop corrections, generalized soft theorems, and absence of infrared divergences in observable correlators.
Derives all-order Hamiltonians via EFT of inflation for USR models and shows L-loop corrections to CMB-scale perturbations scale as (ΔN P_e L)^L, exiting perturbative control at L=4 for typical ΔN≈2.5.
In USR inflation with an idealized instantaneous sharp transition to slow-roll, higher loop corrections to curvature perturbations on CMB scales grow rapidly with loop order L and may exit perturbative control.
Tree-level multi-soft theorems for scalar and graviton correlation functions are derived at leading soft order via background-wave coordinate rescaling, including tensor exchanges in scalars and scalar exchanges in tensors.
Ward identities from large gauge symmetry impose model-independent constraints on renormalizing inflationary loops and non-perturbatively govern the infrared power spectrum evolution.
