arXiv:2605.08253v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Distributional reinforcement learning (DRL) models the full return distribution, but existing finite-support or quantile-based methods rely on projections, while recent flow-based approaches can suffer from \emph{boundary mismatch} at the flow source or from \emph{high-variance} bootstrapping when current and successor noises are independent. We propose Path-Coupled Bellman Flows (PCBF), a continuous-time DRL method that learns return distributions with flow matching using \textbf{source-consistent Bellman-coupled paths}: the current path sta
