 9. ~~**HAL null TTM EPS**~~ — **resolved**, ninth pass (already fixed; 2024 is a filer error).
 
+## Review finding — two fixes on this branch silently interacted
+
+Caught in review, not by me. `_merge_amendments` (the per-field amendment fix, first pass)
+builds the merged period from `_MERGED_FIELDS` + `_CARRIED_FIELDS` alone, so a column in
+neither list is **absent** from the merged row, not merely stale — and every caller reads it
+with `getattr(row, name, None)`, which quietly returns `None`.
+
+`weighted_avg_diluted_shares` (the market-cap fallback, seventh pass) was never added to
+`_MERGED_FIELDS`. The failure needed both fixes to be present at once: a multi-class issuer
+*and* a partial amendment on its latest period — META with a Part-III-only 10-K/A — would
+silently lose market cap and FCF yield again, i.e. the seventh pass's fix undone by the
+first pass's mechanism. I updated `_SNAPSHOT_COLS` in the importer when adding the column
+but not `_MERGED_FIELDS` in the derivation.
+
+Fixed, with a regression test for the specific case. The more useful addition is a guard —
+`test_merge_lists_cover_every_parser_field` asserts the two lists cover every `SnapshotRow`
+field, so the *next* column added fails loudly instead of losing data quietly. Verified it
+would have caught this one.
+
+Lesson worth keeping: a hand-maintained field list that reconstructs an object is a silent
+data-loss footgun. `_SNAPSHOT_COLS` (importer) and `_MERGED_FIELDS` (derivation) must both
+track the parser's `SnapshotRow`, and only one of them is now enforced by a test.
