Caption: Figure 4.

Left: Stokes I, spectral index, debiased linear-polarization percent, and EVPA light curves for Sgr A* (red) and the main gain calibrator J1733 (blue) on 2024 April 6. The flux density of J1733 is shifted up by 2.75 Jy. The gray shaded region denotes the time range where JWST/MIRI was observing Sgr A*. Right: RM variations as a function of time. Native resolution (1 minute) values have been binned to 15 minutes using uncertainty-weighted averages. The SMA light curve is also plotted in the bottom panel.
