Quirks
- Key-gated but free: STRATA_EDINET_API_KEY from Settings, never source
- CUSTODIAN TRAP: trust-bank nominee accounts (信託口, Master Trust, Custody Bank) are the registered holder NOT the beneficial owner - dropped as non-owners
- Ratio stated as percent OR fraction across filers - normalised at parse
- Issuer keyed on JCN from the public code list (source-provided); holder resolved by exact code-list name match, INFERRED, edge MEDIUM
- Commercial register publishes no shareholders and the private route is legal-interest-gated - EDINET is the ONLY free JP ownership source, listed filers only
- Parser is spec-based pending one live-document validation (the key arrives with the operator)
Fourth free lane from the procurement atlas. Analog of FCA NSM / CVM: government-statutory system, company-authored audited content.
