All I know is that after a typical debayer and very extreme stretching of
a stack with anywhere from 50-100 images, there is this line.

It could be many things....

I don't use darks most times...you can see this in the form of blue dark holes/streaks dotted thru my recent images.
Darks will remove most of this type of 'in camera noise' if that is what it is.

I never use flats, although it doesn't seem like a thing a flat would remove.
My post-capture processing is usually a rough hack. I tend to over-stretch, which would emphasise this type of artifact.

FWIW.
