My question was that we're switching shlichei tzibbur in the middle of
that chativa. (Or in many yeshivos, we have a chazan only for the ending.)
How does it retain unity?

Yes, for each chazan as an individual, it's a berakhah haseumchah
lecheverta, but what preserves that nature for the minyan? Or -- I'll
add, starting to think of answers to my own question -- does the minyan
not really count for pesuqei dezimra?

Tir'u baTov!
