A null-field continuation of force-free electrodynamics, with geodesic principal null directions, is introduced and shown to match 1D PIC simulations after loss of magnetic dominance in Alfvén wave collisions and type-changing solutions.

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.
A theoretical model in which monster radiative shocks launched by magnetar disturbances generate self-regulated GHz radio precursors that explain FRB activity from SGR 1935+2154 with sub-millisecond duration and specific energy scaling.
