A release 25 search of KIC 11084727 finds no extra corrected-flux dip above a score of seven

We searched all 18 public Kepler long-cadence quarters of KIC 11084727 for extra isolated dips. Six fixed profiles and a five-day median baseline gave 910.48 days of eligible event centers. The known dip at BKJD 1076.10 is the only corrected-flux peak with a quarter MAD score of at least seven. Eight extra peaks pass that threshold in simple aperture flux. All eight occur on channel 68 in quarters 2, 6, 10, and 14. Their corrected-flux scores stay below 1.66 in local checks with three baseline lengths. This pattern is consistent with detector or aperture trends, but it does not identify their cause. End-to-end tests recover 208 of 216 added 1000-ppm profiles, 119 of 216 at 600 ppm, and one of 216 at 300 ppm. These fixed-time tests do not give uniform completeness or a false-alarm probability. We find no new comet or planet and supply no independent telescope confirmation. The package includes raw data, hashes, source URLs, code, search tables, recovery tests, figures, and offline instructions.
