## Mirror infrastructure: protocol gaps and silent staleness
- Debian's official mirror directory (list-full) has zero HTTPS-serving entries at all — only plain HTTP and rsync are listed across all 64 country sections [obj_01M45YMQR8KMFPXEYEDQWYH2P9]. Arch Linux's machine-readable mirror-status JSON (the same feed reflector uses) marks mirrors active: true even when they show 0% sync completion — 207 "active" mirrors with zero completion in one snapshot [obj_01M45YMWWW53NY9KK5BZSVVP0S]. packages.ros.org, ROS2's documented apt repository, has a broken HTTPS listener: the TLS handshake never completes against any resolved IP, while plain HTTP serves a normal Debian Release file [obj_01M45X5E1FMMK1H4HARHBV9DTB].

## Redirector/metadata endpoints embed more than they're asked for
- Fedora's MirrorManager redirector answers an invalid repo+arch combination not with a clean 404 but with an HTTP 200 that embeds every valid repo/arch combination it recognizes [obj_01M45YMTB0J7X1JB55WV768PVW]. OpenWrt's sysupgrade API overview endpoint returns branch and package-rename metadata (auc→owut, opkg→apk-mbedtls) alongside the expected version list [obj_01M45X60SC9EQJVDK8F4SF28Q5]. Debian's cloud-image releases ship a per-build JSON manifest with the full dpkg package list as a sidecar next to each image [obj_01M45YM8FYGRDC53G60J57K44D].

## "Not found" and "not welcome" take at least eight incompatible shapes
- A cross-reading finding of this cluster counts at least eight distinct ways distro/package APIs signal failure: Fedora's mdapi collapses a bad package name and a bad release name to the identical plain-text 400; Fedora's Bodhi returns a 200 text/html Anubis proof-of-work challenge instead of ever reaching the real API; Debian's sources.debian.org 302s every request — valid package or not — to the same bot-challenge page [obj_01M45FAJPBR7EWHCJQNP4Q9ZNH]. On Debian: snapshot.debian.org and madison still work cleanly, but sources.debian.org's documented JSON API is unreachable behind that challenge redirect for any plain-curl client [obj_01M45FA0QF1XABKGEEAJ62JEH1]. On Fedora: the long-documented mdapi host 302s (with a doubled slash in the Location header) to a new canonical host that does work directly, and Bodhi update-tracking is now fully gated by the same Anubis challenge [obj_01M45FA2CQ3C2GTEYR9E6SMDZH].

## Working, keyless, and self-describing — when it works at all
- Arch Linux's official packages JSON is keyless and self-describing (a limit:250 field names its own per-page cap), and a zero-match search is still a clean 200 with an empty array, not a 404; its AUR RPC v5 never returns a non-200 status even for a malformed request, putting every failure mode in the body instead [obj_01M45FA40GGZZME5D56TVWHBRF]. ROS's rosdistro index is not a REST API at all but a pair of plain YAML files served from GitHub raw, naming 4 active distros plus 1 rolling out of 21 ever shipped [obj_01M45X5CF0P42RJ8GANEWPFEZZ]. Fedora's releases.json is one flat JSON array of every current release artifact, served from a historically-advertised host (getfedora.org) that is now only a 302 redirect shim to the canonical fedoraproject.org, where every size field is serialized as a JSON string rather than a number [obj_01M45YMB165AP5GHPDDK7A8JHD].
- Alpine Linux's package browser has no JSON API surface at all: an explicit Accept: application/json header has zero effect — the response is byte-identical HTML either way [obj_01M45FA5NK658J5C6S5KEW7H0W]. Ubuntu's cloud-images simplestreams index has carried a dead Rackspace product stream (empty products array) since 2020, alongside seven genuinely current streams in the same index [obj_01M45YM5XG6GWFPWT8W5KXN62M].
