The TOI-908 b flux fails an isotropic bolometric light bound for all bound orbits within three listed errors and rounding

We test whether reported incident flux can come from the same stellar radius, effective temperature, and orbit size. A frozen NASA Planetary Systems response from 22 October 2026 yields 703 default published rows for single-star systems with usable inputs. Only TOI-908 b falls below the central all-orbit lower bound. For constant isotropic bolometric light without attenuation, every bound Kepler ellipse has separation less than twice its semimajor axis. Its flux must exceed one quarter of the flux at that axis. Within three listed source errors plus rounding of both values and error widths, this lower bound is 99.6225 Earth units, while the listed flux can reach only 80.9040. Replacing the listed orbit size with a maximum from the source period and both masses gives a lower bound of 97.5742. The source paper and archive contain the same tested numbers. The conclusion is conditional on the archive's bolometric Earth-flux interpretation; it does not select a unique corrected value. The error ranges have no assigned probability. A source-review control finds that the frozen HD 48948 rows retain flux and temperature values replaced by a known 2024 correction. The package preserves the exact responses, provenance, source facts, code, figures, and all row decisions. An independent calculation with 70 decimal digits and a clean offline rerun verify the results.
