Time-reversed dip tests give recovery counts within five of 512 in Kepler data for KIC 11084727
We test whether a fixed dip search favors one time direction in public Kepler release 25 corrected flux of KIC 11084727. We add time-reversed exponential profiles at the same 512 selected times for each of four depths. Recovery counts differ by at most five of 512. At 450 parts per million, trailing and leading counts are 272 and 273. The paired difference is -0.20 percentage point, with a 95 percent resampling interval of -4.49 to 3.91 percentage points. This does not prove equal sensitivity. Reflection and full-quarter checks validate the calculation. The test uses one width pair, one baseline, and a shared data-dependent threshold. Injection occurs after pipeline correction. Selected times exclude gaps and difficult centers. No new body, event rate, or independent telescope confirmation is reported. Code, paired records, source hashes, controls, and reproduction instructions are included.
