  "abstract": "We show that the relative phase primarily controls the survival, rather than the initial formation, of the common bridge in head-on collisions of radially excited boson stars. In the benchmark configuration, all sampled phases form both a common and a strong bridge. After aligning the evolutions at the same operational weak-contact level, their early post-contact evolution remains similar, while a clear phase hierarchy develops only later, with larger phase offsets producing a weaker and less persistent connection. The same suppression persists under controlled variations of the central scalar amplitude, quartic self-interaction strength, and scalar potential. These results identify relative phase as a control on the nonlinear persistence of the common bridge rather than simply on the instantaneous scalar-field overlap.",
