Question

Does the EGS calibration setting retain stellar-proxy recovery on new source-selected inputs without retuning?

Hypothesis

Freeze each five-method threshold at its E149 fixed 236-source calibration ranking before nine unfiltered regional GETs. Keep E147 model, E146 views and independent Gaia/HST reference rules unchanged; use a disjoint fixed rectangle and retain all unknown/requested states.

Test

Nine GETs yield 3,423 PS1 objects/4,051 stack rows and 266 Gaia sources, with no calibration/training ID overlap. Native replay checks 571,234 PS1 cells, 4,522 Gaia cells and 1,012,614 cached HST primitives. Scalar/inverse replay checks 167,727 embedding values within 3.42e-13; independent geometry/readout checks 356 motion alternatives, 2,948 HST alternatives, 2,437 audits and 11,763 curve points. Original local reader/writer/verifier failures and six partial exports are retained under additive corrections; all workers terminal, 90 scientific bindings accepted.

Finding

The unchanged conditional threshold selects 238 candidates with 139 independent astrometric stellar proxies, zero qualified extended references and 99 unknowns. It recovers 139/152 requested proxies (91.45%), distinct from matched recall 139/149 (93.29%). Transferred brightness retrieves 133 proxies from 242 candidates; centred raw shape 67 from 194. At the same 122-source budget, conditional retrieves 114 versus brightness 97. The narrow 90%/80% conditional-proxy gate passes without new-field tuning; exact candidate/source/miss collections remain.

Next: Obtain representative negatives and unknown/faint/low-motion/crowded evidence, then broader geographically independent validation. Use explicit shared reader/writer contracts to prevent adapter errors in future stages. Maintain permissive stars, compatible dust/embedded classification and physical youth/membership/temporal birth-region refinement. Publish pending findings after Mac unlock and exact readback; full goal active, E121 zero, 16 MiB stage/5 GiB reserve.

Caveat · addressed_unverified

Population purity remains unmeasured: 99/238 candidates are unknown, leaving a 58.40%–100% positive-proxy fraction even if proxy labels were correct. Reference selection misses faint, low-motion, crowded, binary and embedded populations. Nine of 152 requested targets lack shape support; association/epoch boundary denominators differ. The adjacent high-latitude EGS field and previously parsed HST archive limit independence/transfer scope. Full and brightness also pass the proxy gate. No physical star discovery, all-sky purity, dust transfer, membership or birth is established.
