Second time stamp, version 2: results of three pre-registered tests run once on 8 November 2026 (TIC 94989423, sector-98 recovery rule: failure; TIC 259541182, pixel location: class TARGET; TIC 166321785, pixel location: not assessable)

Abstract: Second time stamp of the author's TESS project. It records the SHA-256 digests of three local hash lists that were written on 8 November 2026 (19:27 and 19:30 CET), before the data of these tests were loaded (the pixel cutouts of the test sectors of the two pixel stars; the sector-98 light curve of TIC 94989423). (1) Pre-registered pixel-location tests for TIC 259541182 (test sectors 97 and 98) and TIC 166321785 (sectors 101 and 102): does the missing light of an unconfirmed periodic signal, already seen in the public QLP light curves of these sectors, lie at the target star or at a Gaia neighbour? (2) A pre-registered recovery rule for the public QLP light curve of sector 98 of TIC 94989423, a formal stage-6 passer of a search of public QLP light curves (two neighbouring teeth of the period comb, z threshold 3.2 for each; the two-tooth decision was taken after the teeth had been inspected in the search data and before any download). The pixel rules were fixed after the light-curve results of the same sectors had been published (doi:10.5281/zenodo.24048898); they are not blind with respect to those light curves, and their rank gate and classes are descriptive, not calibrated significances. No pixel data of the test sectors and no sector-98 light curve of TIC 94989423 have been loaded, no release file exists and there is no result. A registered test is not a confirmation: nothing here is a detection, a candidate or a validated planet. Supplement: the three hash lists, the files they list (German rule texts, programs, Gaia query answers and derived tables, ephemerides, pre-test and power reports), names and digests of the public PRF models and search-sector cutouts, and instructions to verify them. A separate record will follow for a further rule if it is hashed.
