We study long-horizon deployment of a frozen predictor under dynamic covariate shift. A time-domain Poincare inequality first reduces temporal risk volatility to derivative energy. A Jacobian-velocity theorem then supplies the corresponding pathwise control. Given explicit regularity and domination assumptions, the theorem identifies directional tangent energy along the deployment path as the governing quantity. Under low-rank drift, that quantity reduces to directional Jacobian energy in the drift subspace, motivating drift-aligned tangent regularization (DTR) and a matched monitoring proxy. Rather than smoothing the network isotropically, DTR penalizes sensitivity only along estimated drift directions. We validate the theorem-to-method pipeline in four experiments: a synthetic benchmark for the time-domain inequality, a controlled synthetic comparison against isotropic Jacobian regularization, and two frozen-deployment studies on the UCI Air Quality and Tetouan power-consumption datasets. DTR reduces risk volatility and directional gain in the controlled low-rank regime and beats isotropic smoothing there. It also gives validation-selected deployment gains on both real datasets, with the Air Quality subspace estimated from target-orthogonal sensor motion. Moderate drift-subspace misspecification is tolerable while orthogonal misspecification largely removes the benefit.
