$(Y_\nu(x), Y_{\nu+1}(x))$ by Temme’s series, for small x and $\lvert\nu\rvert \le 1/2$.

Why this arm exists at all

Steed handles $Y_\nu$ from about x = 0.5 upward, so this is not filling a hole in accuracy so much as one in cost, and then a hole in accuracy underneath it. Measured, Steed’s CF2 needs 22 iterations at x = 4, 150 at 0.5, and 5392 at 0.01 (its trip count grows like $1/x$), and below 0.5 it stops being accurate at all (2400 eps at x = 0.1, 261000 at 0.01).

Temme, over the same range, is at most 12 terms and 2.19 eps (notes/special/tools/model_temme.py). So it is both cheaper and better below x = 2, which is exactly where Boost switches.

|nu| <= 1/2 is a precondition

Not a suggestion: the series is built around $\Gamma(1\pm\nu)$ near one. The caller reduces the order and recurs $Y$ upward, which is stable because $Y$ is the dominant solution.

Four limits, and why the guards are wide

d, e, g1 and vspv are each $0/0$ at $\nu = 0$ with a finite limit. d is exactly sinhc and needs no guard. The other three are selects on $\lvert\nu\rvert < \varepsilon$, wide rather than == 0, matching Boost. A wide guard costs nothing here: the substituted limit is correct to several digits well before $\nu$ reaches $\varepsilon$.
