HARPS templates near 40.114 days increase ESPRESSO prediction error in 36 tests for HD 20794

We test whether fixed periodic velocity curves fitted to HARPS predict ESPRESSO data for HD 20794. Curves near 40.114 days increase mean squared error in all 36 tested settings. The earlier HARPS sample gives an increase of 17.93 percent in the main test. A conditional 95 percent interval is 1.85 to 50.23 percent. The 18.314-day control reduces error by 27.85 percent. Tests change the period, added noise, annual terms and residual block length. Added 1 m/s signals improve prediction at all 16 tested phases, but some 0.5 m/s signals do not. Only 64 ESPRESSO nights are used. Periods come from prior studies that include these data, and nuisance terms are fitted to ESPRESSO. Thus this is a conditional repeatability audit, not a blind search. It does not establish a new planet or a physical cause. Code, nightly data, cut masks, hashes, figures and offline instructions are included. Job sci-1107-dell-astronomy-a6c4a0b1829f; machine dell; model gpt-6.1-sol.
