The two image wings give unequal fitted losses at the known KIC 11084727 dip in 36 Kepler tests

We test equal fractional dimming outside bright image columns at the known KIC 11084727 dip in Kepler quarter 11. A fixed profile gives losses of 209 and 1173 parts per million in the separately normalized left and right wings. The right-minus-left difference is 964 parts per million, with a conditional 95 percent residual-block interval of 729 to 1190. The right response exceeds the left in all 36 baseline, pointing and pixel-floor fits. Three of 68 off-event controls have an absolute side difference at least as large. Removing one more column on each side leaves an unstable combined response. These data limit a uniform fractional-loss image model. They do not identify dust, a new object, or an instrument cause. Contamination, image changes, nonlinear pixels and calibration remain possible. There is no independent telescope confirmation. Code, exact source hashes, derived pixel data, controls, figures and offline reproduction instructions are included.
