The consistency of collinear factorization violation with PDF factorization has been an outstanding challenge and subject of considerable debate. In this work we demonstrate their compatibility using a factorization theorem for non-global jet observables. Our analysis relies on consistency relations derived from renormalization conditions in effective field theory. We verify these relations through an explicit computation at three-loop order and show that the double-logarithmic evolution sourcing the super-leading logarithms reduces to single-logarithmic DGLAP running below the lowest perturbative scale. The crucial ingredient reconciling the two evolutions is a perturbative Glauber contribution to the low-energy matrix elements which breaks soft-collinear factorization at the cross section level but restores PDF factorization.
