Retrograde Panel

get_retrograde_panel

Retrograde panel (renamed from get_retrograde_advanced on 2026-10-08), three blocks in one call: (1) 'retroCSLThreeState', the 3-state CSL interpretation (delayed/denied/sudden fulfilment by star lord retrogression); (2) 'retroDashaActivation', the dates transit Jupiter or Saturn crosses the natal degree of a running dasha lord that was retrograde at birth; (3) 'stationWindowMapping', the Jupiter and Saturn stations in the scan that fall near the event's significators. Scan range up to 5 years. Returns '{ retroCSLThreeState, retroDashaActivation, stationWindowMapping, summary, methodSeams[] }'. Each block is also a tool of its own, named in 'methodSeams': get_retrograde_csl_states, get_retrograde_dasha_activation, get_station_windows. **Read the CSL states from get_retrograde_csl_states, not from 'retroCSLThreeState'** (F165): this block's STATE_B_DENIAL is disputed in the corpus (failure at KP Reader 6 canon p.155, delay until the retrograde lord turns direct at Astro Secrets canon p.1379), and it keys on the cusp's star lord where the pages key on the sub lord's own. Since F160 it reads Rahu and Ketu as never retrograde, as KSK does (Reader 6 canon p.114); each entry's 'astronomical' carries the old reading (nodes always retrograde) and the state it gives, and 'astronomicalStateDiffers' names the cusps where they part. The keying ships unchanged and 'methodSeams' points at the tool that carries the corrected one. On a natal chart retrogression gates no promise (R2). The station windows are Sutra 32's release (Reader 6 canon p.155); the dasha-lord activation has no source found.
