We develop a theoretical and computational framework for estimating and correcting non-Abelian geometric distortions in time-bin photonic qudit processing when the relevant encoded object is a transported logical subspace rather than a collection of independent rays. In such settings, for example under mode mixing, multiplexed routing, or effective degeneracies, the geometric contribution is naturally matrix-valued and is described by a Wilczek-Zee holonomy on a rank-$m$ sub-bundle of the ambient Hilbert space. The framework generalises prior Abelian time-bin Pancharatnam-Berry feed-forward calibration, in which geometric distortions are represented by bin-resolved scalar phases, to the non-Abelian, matrix-valued case. We construct a gauge-covariant discrete estimator from overlap matrices between successive subspace frames: the polar factor of each overlap gives a unitary backward frame comparator, and the adjoint comparators compose to approximate the forward path-ordered exponential of the Wilczek-Zee connection. We prove gauge covariance under frame changes, polar optimality of the local comparator, consistency under partition refinement, and perturbative stability under well-conditioned overlap errors. We then formulate left- and right-acting feed-forward correction rules for removing the estimated holonomy from an effective logical operation. The work does not assume a device-specific transfer matrix, loss model, detector model, or experimental calibration pipeline; numerical studies use synthetic non-Abelian transport models to validate covariance, convergence, conditioning dependence, and correction fidelity.
