What to build
Run one stationary QL-Balance mode through periodic KIM instead of global KIM. Embed the returned local response into QL-Balance's global radial grid with a bounded smooth transition, calculate drift-kinetic electron transport from the same physical local fields, and consume KIM's integral ion tensor.
The production path must keep local validity explicit. It must not extrapolate periodic edge artifacts over the plasma or create an electric field by differentiating a tapered potential.
