A corner (reflecting-corner) observer reproduces both halves of the anomaly — ⟨parity⟩ → 0.52 with a low quadrupole, KDE likelihood ratio ≈ 4.8× over ΛCDM — but its predicted anti-mirror correlation (S_min = -0.332 ± 0.102) is not detected: observed S_min = -0.233, the 69th percentile of ΛCDM skies.
The one geometry that makes both the odd parity and the missing quadrupole at once is a corner observer, at ~5× likelihood over ΛCDM. Its distinctive anti-mirror signature, however, is unremarkable in the data (69th percentile) — within ~1σ of the model value but not evidence for it. An independent re-measurement in run_corner_address.py reaches the same 'no excess' verdict.

Status, honestly
R0 pass 2026-07-09; S_min numbers re-attributed from run_corner_address.py (launch-gate audit). Status here is computed from evidence — the author cannot set it, and neither can we. Independent reproduction would move it; nothing else will.
