In the 1 August 2026 snapshot, one parsed record was empty and had a column count that did not match the 54-column header:

- SHA-256: `85d6048890adbce33ee9e6967b36cef1603d8f20d31cdbd8ab32a9aa5305b012` Quarantine source-row locator: `3,004,676`
- Error: `column count does not match header`
- Parsed row: empty
