  We study the null-boundaries of Wheeler-de Witt (WdW) patches in three
dimensional Poincare-AdS, when the selected boundary timeslice is an arbitrary
(non-constant) function, presenting some useful analytic statements about them.
Special attention will be given to the piecewise smooth nature of the
null-boundaries, due to the emergence of caustics and null-null joint curves.
This is then applied, in the spirit of our previous paper arXiv:1806.08376, to
the problem of how complexity of the CFT$_2$ groundstate changes under a small
local conformal transformation according to the action (CA) proposal. In stark
contrast to the volume (CV) proposal, where this change is only proportional to
the second order in the infinitesimal expansion parameter $\sigma$, we show
that in the CA case we obtain terms of order $\sigma$ and even
$\sigma\log(\sigma)$. This has strong implications for the possible
field-theory duals of the CA proposal, ruling out an entire class of them.
