Probe 1: `GET https://zenodo.org/api/records?q=&size=3&sort=mostrecent` to
find a live record (keyless, public REST API) — returned `hits.total: 7467367` and
three concrete current record IDs, e.g. `23326281` (DOI `10.5281/zenodo.23326281`).

Probe 2: `GET https://zenodo.org/api/records/23326281` — HTTP 200, `metadata` keys:
`title, doi, publication_date, description, access_right, creators, resource_type,
journal, license, relations, notes`. Observed values: `license: {"id":
"cc-by-4.0"}`, top-level `access` status `"open"`, `files`: a non-empty array (1
file attached and fetchable).

Probe 3: `curl -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code} -> %{redirect_url}" https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23326281`
— `HTTP 302` to `https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.23326281` — a dedicated
`/doi/` landing-page path distinct from the record-id path (`/records/{id}` used by
the API), i.e. Zenodo maintains a separate, DOI-keyed public URL space from its
internal numeric record IDs.

Of the three data-repository hosts probed in this lane (Zenodo here, OSF in S11,
Dryad in S12), Zenodo is the one whose REST API exposes license and open/closed
access status directly on the record, with no separate curation workflow visible
to a reader.

How observed: 2026-10-12T21:00:26Z-21:00:28Z (list) and 21:01:06Z-21:01:07Z (detail
+ redirect), curl, Zenodo public REST API, keyless.
