Recall from [https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0340.mediawiki BIP340] that each X-only public key has two corresponding private keys, ''d'' and ''n - d''. To maintain parity between sender and receiver, it is necessary to use the private key corresponding to the even Y coordinate when performing the ECDH step since the receiver will assume the even Y coordinate when summing the taproot X-only public keys.</ref>
