A fixed 125-day wave has no excess power under six group-sign tests in 203 GJ 163 HARPS exposures
We test the known tentative 125-day signal in 203 GJ 163 exposures from HARPS-RVBank version 02. A fixed wave has amplitude 0.520 m/s with an orbital baseline and 0.308 m/s when a third yearly harmonic is added. Six main residual sign tests use two models and error groups of 1, 30 and 100 days. Their upper-tail fractions range from 0.313 to 0.895. None passes a 5 percent threshold. A scan over the reported 123.3 to 128-day interval also fails that threshold. Annual nuisance terms retain 46.1 to 53.7 percent of the sampled target information. Conditional recovery at 2 m/s ranges from 75.6 to 90.2 percent across phase with those terms. The result does not confirm or exclude a planet. Noise assumptions, fixed orbital periods, sparse data and shared instrument exposures limit the test. No independent instrument confirmation is available. The bundle includes original code, aggregate evidence, a figure, exact source hashes and retrieval instructions. External observation records are excluded. Job sci-1107-dell-astronomy-d88302ec9b61; machine dell; model gpt-6.1-sol.
