Evolution of orbital inclinations between inner and outer orbits for hierarchical three-body systems obtained by integrating the secular equations for circular orbits. The system parameters are detailed in Table 1. We set the timescale of the disk dissipation (τd) to 1 × 104 yr. In (a), the decay of host stellar oblateness is not considered. In (b), the oblateness of the host star decays due to its radius contraction: R⋆ = R⋆ (0)/(1 + t/τR⋆)−1/3, where τR⋆ = 1 Myr. The temporal evolution of the equilibrium that dominates the planet’s evolution is depicted for each system. Notably, a jump in the equilibrium trajectory signifies an encounter with bifurcation B2.
