• Abstract: We study a single-particle Lindblad lattice in which nonreciprocal incoherent hopping is combined with a tunable coherent boundary link. The link changes the Hamiltonian boundary condition while the incoherent jump rates are kept fixed, so it does not directly alter the diagonal population generator. Its effect on the Liouvillian gap comes from population-coherence-population feedback: the Hamiltonian couples populations to damped coherences, and eliminating those coherences produces a frequency-dependent self-energy for the slow population branch. For the periodic reference system, where translation symmetry is imposed on both the Hamiltonian and the dissipator, we derive an exact fixed-momentum reduction, a scalar secular equation for the population-connected branch, and the associated hydrodynamic drift and coherence-corrected diffusion. For open finite lattices, exact diagonalization and sparse near-zero eigensolvers show that the coherent boundary link can enhance or suppress the gap in one dimension and produce geometry-dependent responses in two dimensions. We also show that an observed relaxation scale can differ from $1/Δ_{\mathcal L}$ when the gap family has weak visibility in the chosen perturbation and observable. The periodic construction gives exact analytical benchmarks, while finite-size simulations in one and two dimensions demonstrate how the same coherence-mediated mechanism controls open-boundary gaps and observable relaxation.
