snapshot_discrepancy named the accessions but not the columns, so it could not distinguish "our numbers moved" from "the same filing is attributed twice". The fields were already computed for validation_json and simply dropped from the message; they are now in it. A difference in cik ALONE is no longer reported as a reconstruction change at all. Every fact matched, so two tracked CIKs are claiming one filing and the fix is the universe, not the parser: it raises accession_cik_collision naming both CIKs and sec_cik_overrides. It also never self-heals — the losing CIK stores no row, so _ciks_with_snapshots never sees it and it is full-history backfilled and re-reported every run until its ticker is re-pointed or retired. Observed 2026-08-19 for EQR: after Equity Residential renamed to Vivmark Residential (VMRK, CIK 906107), SEC's own company_tickers.json left the old symbol on ERP Operating LP (CIK 931182), the non-traded co-registrant of their combined 10-Qs. Both were tracked, both reconstructed the same two filings. The reparse path now excludes cik-only differences from its rewrite set: rewriting one would re-stamp the filing onto the co-registrant, taking it from the issuer that actually filed it, which no parser fix asks for. No stored value was wrong in that incident — reports/ carries the full reproduction for this and for the companyfacts staleness behind the gate fix.
