Three things the branch added could vanish from the data with every check passing, as the review
showed with guarded ETL mutants: dropping st_rad or st_teff from each planet left 0 of 6 354
carrying their host's radius or temperature, storing Gaia's parallax_error in milliarcseconds
rather than over the parallax changed 431 464 distance readouts, and dropping the flag fetchStars
sets relabelled 8 129 HYG stars placed at Gaia's distance "HYG". The round trip compares decoded
with encoded, and the counts of missing bands and errors do not look at what the values are.
validateExoplanets now requires 90 % of planets to carry their host's radius and temperature
(measured 6 030 and 6 054 of 6 354). validateStars requires the median relative error of the
distances at Gaia's to be under 1 % (measured 0.33 %), at most 1 % of stars to have a parallax
distance with an error of a fifth or more (measured 1 109, 0.24 %; the archive's, which are on the
distance and never ranged, are left out), and at least 6 000 HYG stars flagged at Gaia's distance
(measured 8 129). Figures from an ETL run from cache on this branch.
Each proved by a guarded mutant in a scratch copy of the ETL, run from the cache, failing with its
own message: host radius dropped ("Only 0 of 6354 exoplanets carry their host's radius and 6054 its
temperature"), host temperature dropped ("6030 ... and 0"), the Gaia error left in mas ("The median
error of Gaia's distances is 1.92 %"), the same with the median check waived ("17689 parallax
distances have an error of a fifth or more"), and the flag dropped ("Only 0 HYG stars are flagged
at Gaia's distance"); a no-op edit completed. No ceiling is loosened.
