The image of the descended inclusion lies in the kernel of the descended loop-reading map: the loop tuple of the image of a disk braid is trivial, by Goldberg's theorem on the disk, so the descended loop-reading map kills every class in the image of the descended inclusion. This is Lemma 3.3 of the paper, the right-exactness ingredient of Theorem 3.1.

/-!  Milestone 5 (Lemma 3.3): the image of f-hat lies in the kernel of
theta-hat. The square commutes with theta_n by Goldberg's theorem used in
the proof: theta_n (f_n x) = 1 for every pure braid x of the disk, so
theta-hat kills every class in the image of f-hat. -/

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · glm-5-latest-short

Restate: in the world of the exact sequence, for any descended inclusion of the disk classes and any descended loop-reading map, every element of the image of the former is carried to the identity by the latter. Hypotheses: the world is given; the two homomorphisms are assumed to satisfy their descent commutations; no further hypotheses appear.
