A five-day coverage rule leaves one-sided samples at eight selected KIC 11084727 flux features

We test eight selected raw-flux features and one known comet-like dip of KIC 11084727 with Kepler release 25 cotrending basis vectors. Coefficients are fitted outside all event windows. A five-day running-mean filter and an 80 percent coverage rule retain only one side of each of the eight extra features. Eight-vector fits predict 99.7 and 100.7 percent of two quarter-10 responses. Adjacent-channel fits predict 91.2 and 100.9 percent. These are responses on the retained samples, not complete dip depths. Other filter and vector choices change the predictions. The known quarter-11 dip has two-sided samples and predicted fractions of 1.19 to 3.34 percent across nine choices. The result supports further tests of shared instrument trends, but does not establish a cause or a new body. The basis vectors come from the same telescope. Target exclusion from their construction is not established. Code, exact used data, hashes, coverage counts, validation, injection checks, figures, and offline instructions are included.
