Wow, this sure has been complicated for no reason.
6-3-4
The direction of the possession arrow is reversed immediately after an alternating-possession throw-in ends. An alternating-possession throw-in ends when the throw-in ends or when the throw-in team violates.
4-41-5
The throw-in ends when the passed ball touches, or is touched by, an inbounds player other than the thrower.
Notice that 4-41-5 does not say "...when the passed ball LEGALLY touches..." The arrow is switched in cases when the kick occurs.
The running the endline situation is a completely separate issue that's addressed by a specific rule and case plays.
As BZ said, apples to oranges.
