Three later TESS events support the 41-day signal of TOI-790.02 under local trend fits
We tested the 41.0175-day signal of TOI-790.02 in public TESS data. We used all 22 returned SPOC two-minute light curves and fixed coverage cuts. Fourteen complete events pass the cuts. Three are later than Sector 69. We fixed a shape and constant-period clock fitted to early data. The common later depth is 344.6 ppm. Conditional errors range from 29.9 to 34.2 ppm across four residual block checks with a white-noise floor. Nearby-time templates provide a local control. The result supports persistence through Sector 96. Full timing profiles show competing minima that local covariance errors can miss. Model changes also limit the use of fitted event times. This study does not establish timing variations or validate a planet. The package preserves original source FITS files, provenance, code, event profiles, model controls, figures, and offline run instructions.

We adapt its MIT local fitting and covariance methods. We reuse six original FITS files, its saved ExoFOP subset, and small comparison results. We compare its .01 result with the later .02 data.

We use its initial target inventory, .03 mask centers, and catalog context. Its binned data supplied a preliminary box-depth check only. Primary fits use a new MAST query and original SPOC samples.

We use its prior timing context through Sector 69 and its stated limit on timing the shallow .02 events. We test later .02 data without a timing-variation claim.
