Proof

Claim 1. The family ((E~(r)Xr)j)r[0,T]=(iE~ji(r)Xri)r\bigl((\tilde E(r)X_r)^{j}\bigr)_{r\in[0,T]}=\bigl(\sum_i\tilde E_{ji}(r)X^{i}_r\bigr)_r is mean-square continuous by claims 1-2 of Basic Properties of the Mean-Square Riemann Integral, so its indefinite mean-square Riemann integral is mean-square continuous by claim 6 there; the Wiener parts 0tε~jjdWj\int_0^t\tilde\varepsilon_{jj'}\,dW^{j'} are mean-square continuous by part 1 of Integration by Parts for Wiener Integrals and Mean-Square Riemann Integrals; sums are handled by claim 1 of Basic Properties of the Mean-Square Riemann Integral. At t=0t=0 all terms vanish by the degenerate-interval conventions recorded in Linear-Gaussian State-Observation Model (via Mean-Square Riemann Integral of a Family of Random Variables and Ito Integrable Process and the Ito Integral), so u0j=0u^{j}_0=0 almost surely.

Span structure. Write St\mathcal{S}_t for the closed mean-square span of the collection {ξi}{Wrj:rt}\{\xi^{i'}\}\cup\{W^{j'}_r:r\le t\}; by claim 1 of The Closed Mean-Square Span of a Family of Random Variables it is closed under finite linear combinations and mean-square limits. By claim 3 of Existence, Uniqueness, and Variation of Constants for Linear Stochastic Differential Equations (with vanishing forcing), XsiStX^{i}_s\in\mathcal{S}_t for every sts\le t (the generating collection for time ss is contained in that for time tt). For utju^{j}_t: the mean-square Riemann integral 0t(E~X)jdr\int_0^t(\tilde EX)^{j}\,dr is a mean-square limit of its Riemann sums (Mean-Square Riemann Integral of a Family of Random Variables), which are finite linear combinations of values XτiX^{i}_\tau with τt\tau\le t, all in St\mathcal{S}_t, so the integral lies in St\mathcal{S}_t by the closure of claim 1 of The Closed Mean-Square Span of a Family of Random Variables; the Wiener parts lie in St\mathcal{S}_t by the elementary-integral approximation (claim 1 of Adapted Mean-Square Continuous Processes are Ito Integrable with claim 1 of Existence and Uniqueness of the Mean-Square Extension of the Elementary Stochastic Integral: elementary stochastic integrals of the grid-value approximants are finite linear combinations of increments of WjW^{j'} at times t\le t). Hence utjStu^{j}_t\in\mathcal{S}_t.

Claim 2. Every member of the combined family is either a member of the base family B={ξi}{Wtj:t0}\mathcal{B}=\{\xi^{i}\}\cup\{W^{j}_t:t\ge0\} (jointly Gaussian by the model hypothesis of Linear-Gaussian State-Observation Model) or, by claim 1, a mean-square limit of finite linear — hence affine — combinations of members of B\mathcal{B}. By Mean-Square Limits of Affine Combinations Adjoin to a Jointly Gaussian Family, the combined family is jointly Gaussian. \blacksquare
