Early Wolf 1061 waves do not give a clear HIRES error reduction at three fixed periods

We fit outer velocity waves at the known Wolf 1061 periods of 67.27, 183.95 and 217.21 days to 89 early HARPS exposures. We test the fixed waves in 104 later HARPS exposures and 94 corrected HIRES velocities. The primary circular waves give HIRES error changes from a 0.2 to a 6.8 percent increase. Later HARPS point gains depend on period and reduction. All primary score ranges include zero for 10-, 30- and 100-day error groups. Trend, activity and second-harmonic controls give no positive lower score bound. The independent HIRES test has 8.79 m/s residual scatter and limited sensitivity. The periods were selected in prior work with overlapping observations. These tests do not establish or exclude a planet, resolve the outer period, or identify a physical cause. The package contains code, aggregate results, a figure, source hashes and external retrieval steps. Source tables remain outside the package.
