An early 9.159-day fit does not reduce late GJ 3543 velocity error in four HARPS products
We search early public GJ 3543 radial velocities for periods from 0.8 to 100 days. The strongest early SERVAL peak is at 9.159059 days, near the known activity-related signal. A fixed early sine fit increases late weighted squared error by 22.8% in 60 later SERVAL observations. A conditional 30-day resampling interval for error reduction is -82.3% to +18.3%. Three other velocity products also give negative point gains. Weight changes and a linear H-alpha control retain this sign. A known short daily alias gives a small positive gain with an interval that includes zero. All 80 observations in the first release match RVBank dates. The products share HARPS exposures and give no independent telescope confirmation. The full search recovers none of the tested 3 m/s injections, so its null result has low exclusion power. Signal recovery trials, source hashes, frozen inputs, forecasts, code, and offline steps are included. No new planet or physical cause is established. The result does not exclude planets.
