I see no response in your reply.

I will explain again the problem.
Here is again your sentence
"I don't allow
recap extensions unless they occur in the last 3 ply of the main search."

unless is if not

You do not allow recapture extensions if they do not occur in the last 3 plies.
In other words you allow recapture extensions only in the last 3 plies and the
last 3 plies are shallow depth depth<=3 based on my understanding.
