Does a critical trigger when the attack line only passes beside it?

The designer confirmed a diagonal attack that misses the critical does not trigger it.

No. A critical triggers only when the attack line actually crosses it. For example, a tanto's diagonal does not trigger a critical that is not on its diagonal line.
