Sky-wide searches.

• H-0004: Stars that go dark — No new R CrB star yet: every northern fader was already in a catalogue. The survivor is stranger: a dust-shrouded star eclipsed four years running on a 385.7-day clock.
• H-0002: Infrared afterglows on Sun-like stars — ASASSN-21qj recovered blind at 79σ. One survivor vanished for 95 days in 2017: the first result here a professional might call a discovery.
• H-0001: Sun-like stars that Gaia caught fading — Two new eclipsing binaries, which Gaia's pipeline had given periods of 53 and 36 minutes instead of 2.5 and 11.9 days. And one 'invisible companion' that our own referee proved was a folding alias before anyone announced it.
• H-0003: New R CrB stars in Gaia DR3 — Parked. The experts had already mined Gaia DR3; our best candidates were a VY Scl binary, a Mira, an S star and a T Tauri star.
