You must be assuming s/c at the endpoint?

For an open circuited transmission line, the phase shift between the
forward and reflected waves will have to be pi radians. The maximum
amplitude will be 2X.

The term "waves" isn't very clear. To resolve the issue that current into
the load is zero, a reflected wave of -I and consequently +V is required.
Now which "wave" is "phase shifted pi radians".

We are talking the same language now. We can agree that the only phase

Hmmm!
