The FITS file is stored unmodified. The analysis reads `TIME`, `PDCSAP_FLUX`,
`PDCSAP_FLUX_ERR`, and `QUALITY`. PDCSAP flux is the SPOC light curve with common
instrumental trends removed and aperture/crowding corrections applied; this does
not make it free of residual stellar or instrumental systematics.

The saved row is the input actually used by `scripts/analyze_transit.py`; the
analysis does not query a changing live service at run time.


## Additional TESS sectors for robustness analysis

All are unmodified standard-cadence SPOC light curves from the same [MAST TESS collection](https://doi.org/10.17909/t9-nmc8-f686).
