charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Five findings, all valid: 1. Cyprus chalcopyrite was mapped to CHEBI:30074 / "copper(2+)", which is wrong on both axes. Updated to CHEBI:50885 / "chalcopyrite" — the mapping the repo already uses (Copper_Biomining_Heap_Leach metabolites). 2. Ewaste cyanide entry's `chebi_term.label` said "hydrogen cyanide" but CHEBI:17514's canonical label is "cyanide". Aligned label. 3. Ewaste cyanide entry's snippet ("This gold complexing agent was used…") did not literally mention cyanide. Replaced with the more direct adjacent abstract sentence ("cyanide-producing heterotrophic Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas putida were used") and moved the gold-complexing context into the explanation field. 4. Iberian Pit Lake relevance text described an Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycle across the chemocline but only iron(2+) was listed. Added a separate iron(3+) related_ingredient with its own snippet anchoring the bottom-layer iron-reducing guild (Acidiphilium / Ferroplasma / Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans in reducing mode); split the original Fe(II) relevance text to reference only the oxidising guild. 5. Ewaste "gold-mobilisation" -> "gold-mobilization" for spelling consistency with the rest of the repo (American spelling). 136 tests still pass; all 3 modified YAMLs validate clean.
