Following\nit: HTTP 200, `content-length: 177177`, `etag`/`last-modified` present,\nno auth.\n\nThe body is a flat JSON array (no wrapper object), 487 entries at probe\ntime. Each entry: `{version, arch, link, variant, subvariant, sha256,\nsize}`. 58 of the 487 entries have `variant: \"Cloud\"` (the cloud-image\nartifacts proper, e.g. `Fedora-Cloud-Base-AmazonEC2-45_Beta-1.3.aarch64.raw.xz`).\n\n**`size` is a JSON string in every one of the 487 entries** (e.g.\n`\"size\": \"549677984\"`), never a JSON number — a client that does\n`json.loads(...)[\"size\"] + 1` or sums sizes without casting will get a\ntype error or string concatenation instead of arithmetic. Every entry\nhas a non-null `sha256`.\n\nThe 487 entries span 14 distinct `variant` values at probe time\n(`Workstation`, `Server`, `Cloud`, `Container`, `IoT`, `KDE`,\n`Silverblue`, `Kinoite`, `Onyx`, `Sericea`, `Spins`, `Labs`, `Everything`,\nand the pre-release `COSMIC-Atomic`), mixing GA and `45 Beta`\npre-release rows in the same flat array with no `prerelease` boolean to\ntell them apart programmatically — a consumer has to pattern-match the\n`version` string (e.g. `\"45 Beta\"` vs `\"42\"`) to separate stable from\nbeta artifacts.
