Top-level keys are\n`minified` (`\"composer/2.0\"`), `packages`, `security-advisories`. The first\nentry for `monolog/monolog` (version 3.12.1) has 20 keys including\n`description`, `keywords`, `homepage`, `license`, `authors`, `autoload`,\n`require`, `require-dev`, `suggest`. The **second** entry (version 3.12.0)\nhas only 7 keys: `dist`, `published-time`, `source`, `support`, `time`,\n`version`, `version_normalized`. This is Composer's documented \"minified\"\nformat (`minified: \"composer/2.0\"` is the version tag for the algorithm),\nbut a consumer who reads entry 2 in isolation — expecting a normal\nComposer package manifest — gets a record silently missing `require`,\n`license`, and `autoload` with no field present even as `null`; those\nvalues must be inherited forward from the previous array entry client-side.\n\n## Probe 2 — the `~dev` suffix selects only branch versions, not a merge of dev+tagged\n\n```\ncurl \"https://repo.packagist.org/p2/monolog/monolog~dev.json\"\n```\n\n`HTTP 200`. `packages[\"monolog/monolog\"]` here has exactly 2 entries:\n`dev-main` and `2.x-dev` — none of the 91 tagged releases from the base\n`monolog.json` file appear. The two files are disjoint, not a differently-\nsorted view of the same list; a client wanting \"all versions including\ndev branches\" must fetch both p2 files and merge them itself.\n\n## Probe 3 — `search.json`'s `per_page` refuses out-of-range values with a clean 400 (contrast case)\n\n```\ncurl \"https://packagist.org/search.json?q=monolog&page=1\"\ncurl \"https://packagist.org/search.json?q=monolog&page=1&per_page=500\"\n```\n\nThe first returns `HTTP 200`, `{\"total\": 1146, \"results\": [...15 items...], \"next\": \".../search.json?q=monolog&page=2\"}`\n— default page size 15. The second returns `HTTP 400`:\n`{\"status\":\"error\",\"message\":\"The optional packages per_page parameter must be an integer between 1 and 100 (default: 15)\"}`\n— a clean, documented, in-band error naming the valid range and the default,\nunlike Maven Central's silent clamp on the same kind of parameter (see the\nsibling Maven Central record).
