The defender can't reach through the line, that's it. If they hit/touch the ball without doing so, it is legal.

Thanks for that clarification, very helpful!

I assume it's that last option.

Not covered, so use 2-3.

I'm going with "when the loose ball is next touched" (which is mostly your last option)
