The expectation parameter $\mu = \mathbb{E}[X]$ in a Janson setup is nonnegative.
The dependency parameter $\Delta = \sum_{i \sim j} \Pr(A_i \cap A_j)$ in a Janson setup is nonnegative.
The probability of any particular subset $T \subseteq [N]$ being the realized set of indicators is nonnegative.
The product-measure probabilities J.probSubset T form a probability distribution:
they sum to $1$ over all subsets $T \subseteq [N]$.
Algebraic simplification at the optimal $\lambda_0 = t/(\mu + \Delta)$: $-\lambda_0 t + \lambda_0^2 (\mu + \Delta)/2 = -t^2/(2(\mu + \Delta))$.
Intermediate Markov/MGF-style bound used in the proof of Janson III: for every $\lambda \geq 0$, $\Pr(X \leq \mu - t) \leq e^{\lambda(\mu - t)} \exp!\big(-(1 - e^{-\lambda})\mu
- (1 - e^{-\lambda})^2 \Delta / 2\big)$.
The lower-tail probability $\Pr(X \leq \mu - t)$ is bounded above by $1$, as a probability must be.
Janson inequality III (Theorem 8.2.2, lower tail). For any $0 \leq t \leq \mu$, $\Pr(X \leq \mu - t) \leq \exp\!\left(-\dfrac{t^2}{2(\mu + \Delta)}\right)$.
