The prior values came from the importer retired in #453, whose media_count counted a list truncated to 50 examples (#449).

2026-09-02T17:40:44.716277+00:00 claude_sssom_surface_form_backfill ADDED_SYNONYMS Recovered 1 surface form(s) that the published SSSOM `other` carried but no curated record did, so a rebuild would have dropped them from KGX: 'hydrolysis: crab shell chitin'. Tokens already present on the kg-microbe ontology node were left out as redundant (#520).
2026-09-22T06:14:49.563933+00:00 claude LLM REJECTED_TRAIT_SYNONYMS Retyped activity/assay phrases as provenance-only REJECTED_LABEL because they describe a process or organism trait, not an ingredient name (#703): 'hydrolysis: crab shell chitin'. Preserved original text and source metadata. No identity, mapping, role, or remaining-synonym claim was adjudicated.
