Relativistic single-particle scattering cross sections for strong electromagnetic waves in strongly magnetized plasma are computed for arbitrary polarization and angle, showing strong suppression and sub-unity optical depth for quasi-parallel propagation.

Model-independent constraints expose kinetic-luminosity and induced-Compton optical-depth bottlenecks that rule out or severely limit external-shock and light-cylinder reconnection FRB models while favoring magnetospheric scenarios with in-situ acceleration.
Repeating FRBs show Gaussian-distributed intrinsic PAs with no periodicity, explained by stochastic magnetospheric axis wandering in an extended rotating vector model.
A search of repeating FRBs identifies RM flare candidates in FRB 20121102A, FRB 20201124A, and FRB 20180916B, suggesting such events may be common and tied to dynamic magneto-ionic environments.
PATH is extended with three fitted P(m_r|z) prior models combined with P(z|DM), raising host-association confidence for ASKAP FRBs while showing fainter-than-expected host magnitude distribution.
