As the wind pressures goes up & down my loose-footed furling main goes tighter or looser quite a lot. It’s a fairly new main so shouldn’t itself be too stretchy.
So does that suggest the outhaul needs replacing with something less stretchy? I think the current one is polyester so maybe spectra / dyneema is the go?

From the clew do you have a strap around the boom? If not get one. If so then change outhaul to dyneema.
