Path to delayed dynamical instability and the resulting minimum post-SMT separation do not depend on the assumption on orbital shrinkage (γ value). Here, we plot the evolution of the mass transfer rate (top) and orbital separation (bottom) in binaries interacting at the critical mass ratio for the fiducial SMT treatment (γ = γ_BH) and assuming enhanced shrinkage due to L2 outflows (γ ≈ 0.8γ_BH + 0.2γ_L2). The donor is the same 30 M_⊙ CHeB giant as in Fig. 9, the companion is a BH accreting at the Eddington limit, with its mass determined by the q_crit value: ≈5 M_⊙ in the fiducial model, ≈6 M_⊙ in the case with enhanced shrinkage. Regardless of the assumed γ, the critical Ṁ peak that determines stability occurs at the same moment of the interaction. As a result, the mass and the radius of the donor at this critical point do not depend on γ, leading to the same final orbital separation.
