Midnight exp_11: Deep targets — CIV detrend kills multi-ion signal
CRITICAL HONEST FAILURE: CIV intra-doublet signal (KS=0.21, p~0) does NOT survive z-detrending. Raw rho=-0.592 drops to rho=0.057 (p=0.68) after quadratic detrend. Same z-confound pattern as MgII EW spread. The multi-ion confirmation was a z-trend artifact. Spatial dipole: not significant (75th percentile), opposite direction from Webb alpha dipole (178 deg separation). Entropy gradients: EW and FWHM gradients are physically correlated (rho=0.462, p~0) — when one increases, so does the other. Gradient sightlines are spatially clustered (p=0.002). 53/47 split between increasing and decreasing. This is real structure, not cascade-specific. What survives ALL controls after 11 experiments: - Sightline-straddling pairs (z-trend immune, p~0) - Narrow-window doublet coherence (z-trend immune, p=1e-4) - Entropy gradients 2x random (structural, not cascade) - EW-FWHM gradient coherence (physical, rho=0.46)
