• Abstract: A core characteristic of dissipative non-Hermitian topology is that the relaxation dynamics tracks the non-Bloch bulk-boundary correspondence, rendering an algebraic decay in the gapless regime and an exponential falloff in the gapped phase, so that local observables directly diagnose the topology. We show that this correspondence breaks down in a dissipative topological superconductor, where the local observables turn blind to the very topology they are expected to decipher. Via a bond-dissipative dimerized Kitaev chain in a third-quantized rapidity-matrix formulation, we find that at zero chemical potential the Majorana rapidity matrix decomposes into two independent non-Hermitian sectors, each with its own generalized Brillouin zone and non-Bloch winding number, thereby revealing a sector-resolved non-Bloch bulk-boundary correspondence. The local density is a cross-sector covariance and relaxes at the sum of the two sector rates, so it remains sector-blind even when one sector is gapless and topological. For balanced gain and loss, the finite-time zero events of the entanglement spectrum under purely periodic-boundary Lindblad evolution recover this hidden edge content sector by sector, serving as a dynamical invariant that returns the open-boundary edge rapidities without physically opening the chain.
