Let with on a bounded domain , under a partition of the exterior into disjoint open sets (Dirichlet) and (nonlocal Neumann). Building on the mixed local–nonlocal framework, we obtain explicit, provable upper bounds for the variation of the principal eigenvalue along families of partitions in which the Neumann set or the Dirichlet set dissipates. When dissipates, we bound by integrals of the Dirichlet kernel over plus a boundary term and a standard fractional tail. When dissipates and , we bound by integrals of the geometric kernel over and the same tail; for we give a separated-Dirichlet variant. The proofs use only the weak formulation, the basic spectral theory for the mixed problem, bounds for principal eigenfunctions, and two cross-testing identities, with all constants and dependencies made explicit. Consequences include quantitative continuity of under weak set convergence and a controlled shift of asymptotically linear bifurcation thresholds. All constants depend only on and, in the separated-Dirichlet variant, also on a fixed separation .
