  "abstract": "We study the conformal Wilson line with general charge $q$ in critical bosonic QED$_3$ with $N$ complex scalar flavors by combining diagrammatic four-point calculations with endpoint crossing. We formulate the endpoint crossing equations with the full $\\mathrm{SU}(N)$ flavor structure, keeping positivity manifest. For arbitrary positive integer charge $q$ held fixed at large $N$, we obtain closed-form expressions for four-endpoint correlators and mixed correlators involving two bulk Hubbard--Stratonovich fields through first subleading order in $1/N$. These results determine the endpoint dimension, the defect $g$-function, and the dimensions and endpoint OPE coefficients of the lowest non-singlet Wilson-line primaries. Moreover, combining the diagrammatic correlator with endpoint crossing, somewhat surprisingly, we find agreement between the bulk and Wilson-line spectra in every non-singlet flavor channel through order $1/N$. At degenerate levels, this agreement concerns the OPE-weighted averages of anomalous dimensions probed by the endpoint correlator. For unit charge, we independently reproduce these averages from the known bulk higher-spin spectrum.",
