The starter is used to make a "seasoned" tank solution when starting anew with deep tanks or a minilab. Kodak sells Developer Replenisher, not Developer. So yes to follow by the book you will need to dilute the Replenisher slightly.But if, as in one-shot rotary tube processing, a started is not needed, then are the raw Parts A, B, and C of the Kodak Developer/Replenisher without adding the starter a "Developer?; and if so then would you add the extra water used with the starter to make a working tank? Same for the Fuji and would you replace the volume of the starter (25mL) with water?

This is not correct!! As @RPC stated, you need to add the starter and the correct dilution for the "fresh tank" mix. The dilution is necessary to get the correct gamma, the starter is necessary to get the correct color balance.in one-shot rotary tube processing, a started is not needed,
Digibase kit has an exceptional shelf life in my experience, the CD-4 concentrate keeps surprinsingly well opened and in contact with air. Not a common behaviour compared with to other products.
You're not alone, I also use C41 developer one shot.that is just me
Yes, but there will be some colour crossover and it will be over-developed unless you reduce the developing time, which will in turn add a colour cast on top of the crossover.Everyone is either missing or dodging the question. Consider the mixing instruction diagram in post 34 above: Is, after adding Color Developer Part A to Part B and then to Part C, the resultant a "Color Developer?" Will it develop a roll of film without adding a starter? At one time Kodak made a C-41 developer that did not require adding a starter.

This is perfect!!In a photo lab, C41 developer replenisher is mixed and used to replenish the developer tank solution. This dev tank can be called a seasoned solution or working solution BUT it is not a tank of raw replenisher.
If for some reason a new C41 developer tank solution needs to be made up, then the replenisher is mixed and the required amount of dev starter is added and then topped up with water, as per starter instructions. Now the tank is a working solution and can be used to process C41 films.
