DATABASE_MATCH via CultureMech

[HISTORICAL — superseded by the #321 re-grade below: this record is a hydrate of CHEBI:35696, not an exact match to it] Imported from CultureMech pipeline, quality=DIRECT_MATCH

DATABASE_MATCH via MIM curation (#321/#334)

identifier CHEBI:35696 -> kgmicrobe.compound:cocl2_x_2_h2o; mapping_quality EXACT_MATCH -> NARROW_MATCH. The record is a hydrate of CHEBI:35696 ('cobalt dichloride') and was sharing that term's identifier — the identity collapse MAPPING_SEMANTICS §3 forbids, which made a distinct substance indistinguishable from its anhydrous parent downstream. ChEBI has no term for this hydrate and the record carries no verified CAS, so steps 1 and 2 are unavailable and step 3 applies.

DATABASE_MATCH via MIM curation (#321)

molecular_formula '2Cl.Co' -> '2Cl.Co.2H2O'. The recorded value described the anhydrous salt while the label names a hydrate, understating the mass by 18 g/mol per water. Corrected because the label states 2 water(s) of hydration, and the recorded formula was byte-identical to the anhydrous parent CHEBI:35696's ChEBI formula ('2Cl.Co') — the mark of a value inherited from the parent rather than measured for this record. Water appended in ChEBI's own dot-separated notation.

DATABASE_MATCH via MIM curation (#342)

mapping_quality NARROW_MATCH -> CLOSE_MATCH, predicate skos:narrowMatch -> skos:closeMatch. narrowMatch asserts this record is *narrower in meaning* than CHEBI:35696 ('cobalt dichloride') — a subsumption ChEBI itself denies: it files hydrates under CHEBI:35505 'hydrate', never under the anhydrous compound, which is not an ancestor even transitively. A hydrate is a distinct substance containing the anhydrous form, not a specialization of it. closeMatch claims similarity without subsumption. The ontology_id and the record's own identifier are unchanged.

The prior values came from the importer retired in #453, whose media_count counted a list truncated to 50 examples (#449). [source=ingredient_occurrences.tsv culturemech_rev=15a4da5c08 rows=194137 distinct_recipes=15257]
2026-08-29T03:56:37.918203+00:00	hydrate_duplicate_merges	CORRECTED		cas_rn 7646-79-9 REMOVED, not replaced: it is the anhydrous CoCl2 CAS, so it names a different substance than this record. ChEBI has no term for this hydration state, so no authoritative CAS is available and substituting a guess is how wrong CAS numbers spread. Absent is recoverable; wrong is not (#334).
2026-09-12T00:00:00+00:00	reject_hidden_hydrate_synonym_collapses	REJECTED_HIDDEN_HYDRATE_SYNONYMS	MAPPED	Marked hidden hydrate synonym(s) as REJECTED_LABEL so this record no longer resolves sibling hydrate identities (#251): 'CoCl2 . 6H2O', 'CoCl2 x 4 H2O', 'CoCl2 x 6 H2O', 'CoCl2 x 6H2O', 'CoCl2 · 6H2O', 'CoCl2·6H2O', 'CoCl2⋅6H2O', 'CoCl2・6H2O'.

The token is kept as provenance only; it must not resolve, be exported, or enter the SSSOM other column.
2026-10-06T00:23:21.529762+00:00	codex LLM	REMOVED_PARENT_IDENTITY	MAPPED	Removed kg_microbe_node_id CHEBI:35696, the anhydrous cobalt dichloride identity. The record already retains its distinct hydrate identifier and only a CLOSE_MATCH parent annotation, as documented in the #321/#334 and #342 curation events. The stale KG node field contradicted that decision and would republish the parent as identity through culturebotai-claw#571. No replacement KG node is asserted.
