"Your" consciousness? Your series of questions above all involve a
physical transfer of information, in which case light cones are
relevant, because there can be no physical transfer of information
from you now to a point outside your future light cone. If there is a
purported copy of you outside your past and future light cones, then
there is no way that it can be verified that it is actually a copy.
So the question is purely hypothetical, without operational content.
The point is that the copy might see the difference, like observing
the start from a different view points allowing the conclusion that it
has been copied outside its light cone.
If the copy is to "see a difference" then there must have been
information transfer outside the light cone. This is physically
impossible. And if comp allows such information transfer, then comp is
disproved by the observed physics.
