Public-ID Recovery for a Historical DESI DR1 Anomaly List: 170 High-Coordinate-Consistency Core and 11 Lower-Confidence Positional Associations
Supporting data release: public DESI IDs for the anomaly program's follow-up list
Publishes 181 public DESI DR1 TARGETID associations for the anomaly program's candidate list, split transparently into 170 high-coordinate-consistency core associations and 11 lower-confidence positional associations. v3.2.0-r17 binds the viewer captures, documents the exact 2,468-row positional-parent denominator, publishes the two-pass deduplication order, and content-hashes every resumable scan input — deterministic public-identifier and join/checkpoint machinery enabling auditable follow-up. This is a public-identifier and provenance data release, not a detection claim.

A focused, reproducible public-identifier and provenance data release for the anomaly program's historical candidate list. Deterministic join and checkpoint machinery ties each candidate to a public DESI DR1 TARGETID, enabling auditable independent follow-up. The declared 1-arcsec positional join yields 181 warning-free global-primary DESI DR1 associations: 170 at or below 0.1 arcsec and 11 lower-confidence associations between 0.1 and 1 arcsec. The sub-0.1-arcsec core is expected seed self-recovery — the cluster centroid equals the seed DESI member's own coordinates by construction, verified end-to-end rather than an independent association test. The aggregate annular shift comparison is descriptive, not a conditional false-association null or purity estimate. The release carries exact source-row provenance, explicit quality tiers, warned-row auxiliary data, checksums, and a clean-checkout validator while declining physical classification, purity, novelty, and anomaly-rate claims unsupported by the underlying historical candidate list.

You are an external referee for MNRAS / Physical Review D / JCAP (target journal depends on paper). Attached: Paper 3 v3.2.0-r17 — "Public-ID Recovery for a Historical DESI DR1 Anomaly List: 170 High-Coordinate-Consistency Core and 11 Lower-Confidence Positional Associations" Source: pipelines/p3_anomaly_engine/paper3_apjs.tex PDF: PDF · 17 pp · v3.2.0-r17 · updated Aug 3, 2026 · md5 477b0d83ca31f6ace3273bb19bcfcf34 · sha256 9a3769269ada4d2a5371aa447e6ce93aa55518ae2a3b13fdc3d83f0b8b779a0b — exact denominator, deduplication-order, checkpoint-digest, and viewer-binding closures included; exact r17 confirmation remains pending. Read the FULL PDF end-to-end. Produce a referee report in MNRAS format with: 1. Recommendation: ACCEPT / MINOR REVISIONS / MAJOR REVISIONS / REJECT 2. BLOCKERS (must fix before publication) — list each with section/line + proposed fix 3. MAJORS (should fix) — same format 4. MINORS (polish) — same format 5. Strengths (>= 3 bullet points) 6. Specific scrutiny on: - 181 warning-free global-primary DESI DR1 TARGETIDs - Exact 170 core plus 11 lower-confidence positional quality-tier contract - Sub-0.1-arcsec core explicitly framed as expected seed self-recovery - Checksum-bound release validation, bounded final-hash confirmation, and ApJS metadata CALIBRATION (do not burn findings on these known classes): - The current date is June 2026. arXiv identifiers of the form 25xx.xxxxx and 26xx.xxxxx are VALID, already-published preprints — do not flag them as "future-dated" or "nonexistent". Verify a citation against arXiv/ADS before claiming it does not exist. - Correction notes, retraction notices, and "an earlier version stated X" disclosures in the text are DELIBERATE transparency policy. Flag them only if their content is wrong, never for existing. - Companion-paper citations marked "posted concurrently on arXiv" are deliberate placeholders; real arXiv IDs are inserted during the coordinated submission sequence. - Explicitly labeled conservatism allowances, scaling estimates, ansatz/heuristic status labels, and disclosed queued follow-up computations are deliberate scoping, not oversights — flag only if the label itself is inaccurate. - PDF text extraction can mangle math (square roots, fractions, superscripts). Before flagging "garbled" or "wrong" math, consider extraction artifacts; flag only what is visibly wrong in the rendered PDF. VERDICT STANDARD (apply the SAME high bar a first-pass Physical Review D / MNRAS referee would — this is one of the most rigorous journals in the world): - Assign each finding's severity (BLOCKER / MAJOR / MINOR) by your own independent referee judgment. Do NOT default to any tier, and do NOT soften a finding because the rest of the paper is strong. Do not echo this prompt's context. - A reporting choice that headlines the more favorable of two numbers, an unstated assumption, an uncontrolled systematic, or an internal inconsistency IS a real finding — classify it honestly (MINOR at minimum), not as mere "style" or "opinion". - Truth-audit any claim that seems off by checking it against the published .tex / on-disk artifacts before flagging (this only filters out genuine extraction artifacts — it does not lower the bar on real defects).

- 04Sixteen deterministic local shifts yield 86.7 ± 14.4 parent and 76.2 ± 13.3 warning-free-primary associations within 1 arcsec; the 11-row tail is not treated as secure identity
- 05A separately released 2,267-row warned auxiliary table preserves inspectability without admitting warned rows to the primary catalog
