Nevertheless, we show that a uniform Zeeman field can strongly reconfigure and even reverse the single-electron charge polarization of an asymmetric open double quantum dot. Using a symmetry-preserving Green's-function equation-of-motion approach, we identify regimes where the preferred dot occupation reverses while the system remains in the single-electron charge sector. Two distinct mechanisms produce this behavior. Unequal gate levels produce different occupation responses because the Zeeman-shifted resonances lie at different positions relative to the reservoir chemical potential, whereas unequal onsite interactions distinguish the dots through their many-body addition spectra. Coulomb blockade stabilizes the single-electron sector, causing the reservoir-mediated response to appear as spatial charge redistribution rather than a change in total occupation. Our results establish a mechanism for magnetic control of charge polarization at fixed electrostatic detuning.
