The pure-EB PTE composites resolve the fiducial window with argmin against 20 bin-mean angles rather than reporting-bin edges.
For the geomspace(1′, 250′, 21) grid, the 12′ lower cut (11.997′ edge) snaps to bin 8 via its 10.61′ mean.
The intended 12′--83′ window therefore became 9.1′--83′ (bins 8--15 rather than 9--15).
This changed the combined xi_tot degrees of freedom from nu = 14 to nu = 16.
