2026-06-09T05:23:46.851012+00:00 correct_stale_ontology_labels.py CORRECTED ontology_label 'Xylitol' -> 'xylitol': synced to canonical CHEBI label (preferred_term 'Xylitol' unchanged).

2026-08-13T00:00:00+00:00 fix_wrong_compound_cas CORRECTED_WRONG_COMPOUND_CAS cas_rn '488-81-3' -> '87-99-0' (#320). The recorded value denotes ribitol, a different pentitol — a different compound, not a different form of this one. Replaced with ChEBI's hasDbXref on CHEBI:17151, the term this record is already mapped to, so the new value comes from the existing mapping rather than a fresh lookup.
2026-08-27T03:16:39.520163+00:00 refresh_occurrence_statistics CORRECTED occurrence_statistics 1/1 -> 2/2 (media_count/total_occurrences), derived from distinct CultureMech recipe ids in the #337 occurrence table. The prior values came from the importer retired in #453, whose media_count counted a list truncated to 50 examples (#449).
