Idea

Given descent data (PA, PB, PS) for the pushout of a span diagram 𝒮, we define the type of sections to be the type of triples (tA, tB, tS), where

  tA : (a : A) → PA a
  tB : (b : B) → PB b

are sections of the type families PA and PB, respectively, and tS is a coherence datum, witnessing that for every s : S, the dependent triangle

           tA ∘ f
  (s : S) --------> PA (f s)
          \       /
    tB ∘ g  \   / PS s
             ∨ ∨
          PB (g s)

commutes.

We show that for a family with descent data P ≈ (PA, PB, PS), the type of sections (x : X) → P x of P is equivalent to the type of sections of (PA, PB, PS).

Furthermore, a homotopy between sections (tA, tB, tS) and (rA, rB, rS) consists of component-wise homotopies

  HA : tA ~ rA
  HB : tB ~ rB

and a coherence datum HS, witnessing that for each s : S, the square of identifications

               PS s ·l HA fs
  PS s (tA fs) ------------> PS s (rA fs)
       |                          |
  tS s |                          | rS s
       |                          |
       ∨                          ∨
     tB gs -------------------> rB gs
                   HB gs

commutes.

We show that the identity types of sections of descent data are characterized by homotopies between them.

Sections of families over a pushout correspond to sections of the corresponding descent data

Proof: Given a family with descent data P ≈ (PA, PB, PS), note that a section t : (x : X) → P x of P induces a section (tA, tB, tS) of (PA, PB, PS), where

  tA a := eA (tia)
  tB b := eB (tjb),

and tS s is given by the chain of identifications

  PS s (eA (tifs))
  = eB (tr P (H s) (tifs))   by coherence of P ≈ (PA, PB, PS)
  = eB (tjgs)                by apd t (H s)

This map factors through the dependent cocone map

                dependent-cocone-map
  (x : X) → P x --------------------> dependent-cocone P
                \                  /
                  \              /
                    \          /
                      ∨      ∨
                section (PA, PB, PS),

where the right map takes (dA, dB, dS) to

  tA a := eA (dA a)
  tB b := eB (dB a)
  tS s : PS s (eA (dA fs))
         = eB (tr P (H s) (dA fs))  by coherence of P ≈ (PA, PB, PS)
         = eB (dB gs)               by dS.

The top map is an equivalence, since we assume X to be a pushout, and the right map is an equivalence, since concatenating an identification is an equivalence, and the action on identifications of equivalences is an equivalence. It follows that the left map is an equivalence

As a corollary, for any given section (tA, tB, tS) of (PA, PB, PS), there is a unique section t : (x : X) → P x of P such that its induced section of (PA, PB, PS) is homotopic to (tA, tB, tS).

Proof: Since the map taking sections of P to sections of (PA, PB, PS) is an equivalence, it has contractible fibers. The fiber at (tA, tB, tS) is the type of sections of P that induce a section of (PA, PB, PS) which is identified with (tA, tB, tS), and such identifications are characterized by homotopies of sections of (PA, PB, PS).
