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

2026-09-02T22:41:49.137449+00:00 claude_sssom_surface_form_backfill ADDED_SYNONYMS Recovered 2 surface form(s) that the published SSSOM `other` carried but no curated record did, so a rebuild would have dropped them from KGX: 'Citric Acid•H2O(Fisher A 104)'; 'Trisodium citrate x 3 H2O'. Tokens already present on the kg-microbe ontology node were left out as redundant (#520).

Kept as provenance only; it must not resolve, be exported, or enter the SSSOM other column.
