Generalization of the 1-loop flat-space limit derivation to higher loops/sites
Ascertain whether the dimensional-regularization-based derivation of the flat-space limit for one-loop de Sitter correlators extends straightforwardly to higher loop orders or multiple loop-site diagrams, accounting for the required \(\mathcal{O}(\delta^2)\) and higher corrections to de Sitter mode functions.

It is not immediately obvious that this method works at higher loop orders, when it would become necessary to consider \mathcal{O}(\delta2) and higher corrections from modes. Hence it is not clear whether the arguments presented above generalise straightforwardly at higher loops/loop sites. We keep this investigation for a future work.
