Source tables resolve three of four low-mass flags in an ATNF 2.9.0 periastron screen
We test all 77 records with periastron advance in ATNF 2.9.0. Four fail a one-solar-mass pulsar screen under pure general relativity across three-error and five-error input ranges. Three have source-table discrepancies. The J1600-3053 advance equals its source eccentricity. The cited values for J2234+0944 and J1750-3703B belong to other pulsars. The source advance removes the J1600 flag; the other two cited sources give no advance for these targets. The fourth flag, J1740-3052, repeats a known conflict between the GR total mass and the mass function. We find no new object or unexplained signal. These are catalog and source-table tests, not new timing fits. The other 73 records are not source-audited. The bundle includes all selected records, hashes, code, error checks, a figure, and offline instructions.
