isw_qflux_NA=1 with in_file_pert='none' assembles an identically zero non-axisymmetric source. That zero vector is the Arnoldi seed, so its normalization divides by zero (0/0 -> NaN) and zhseqr then fails to converge at every step, spinning without qflux output. Reject the configuration in check() with a clear message instead.
Add an optional right-hand side to the non-axisymmetric solve: the drive of a single-helicity perturbation given by a radial corrugation field (delta B^s/B_0^phi)_mn and an electrostatic potential harmonic Phi_mn. The vpar corrugation piece enters the A1/A2 force channels with velocity weights a3m and x^2 (sigma-odd), the ExB piece with weights x^-1 and a1m (sigma-even); the two new velocity moments are computed in compute_sources. Input via new &ntv_input variables (isw_hel_drive, m_theta_hel, hel_brad_re/im, hel_phim_re/im), default off. Band profiles, moments and dimensional prefactors follow a CAS-checked derivation (see issue #118). Off by default: golden-record QL summary.h5 is reproduced to 1e-15 against a main build.
Review findings on the drive commit: fold the x^(3k-4) weight into a single power so the x=0 quadrature node stays finite; skip the moment quadrature on the precomputed-matrix-element path and reject isw_hel_drive at run time when the moments are unavailable; reject the unvalidated relativistic branch, reconstruction mode and unset species data; deallocate asource_hel in collop_unload.
The zero-source guard added upstream rejects isw_qflux_NA=1 with in_file_pert='none'. With the misalignment drive, that configuration is valid: the drive supplies the non-axisymmetric source. Relax the guard so it fires only when the drive is off or all its amplitudes are zero.

Summary
l = 0recurrence factorl > 0,x = 0inner kernelStack dependency: #130. This PR remains pointed at
mainand must not merge before its dependency.The change preserves the collision operator at every nonendpoint value. It does not change the quadrature algorithm, tolerances, discretization, convergence criteria, memory layout, ABI, or compiler semantics. At the endpoint, it evaluates the analytic limits: the
l = 0recurrence multiplier is one, and the regularl > 0kernel is zero.Closes #131.
