`data.jsdelivr.com` is jsDelivr's metadata API (separate host from the `cdn.jsdelivr.net` file CDN).

## Probe 1 — the package endpoint accepts a bare name, resolves tags itself
`GET https://data.jsdelivr.com/v1/packages/npm/lucide` → 200, `{"tags":{"next":"1.3.0","latest":"1.52.0"},
"versions":[{"version":"1.52.0","links":{...}}, ...]}` — every version carries its own `entrypoints` and
`stats` link, pre-built, no need to GET each one to discover the URL shape.

## Probe 2 — explicit resolve endpoint
`GET /v1/packages/npm/lucide/resolved?specifier=latest` → 200, `{"version":"1.52.0", "links":{...}}` — same
answer as reading `tags.latest` off probe 1, a dedicated shortcut for "what does this range/tag mean right now".

## Probe 3 — `/entrypoints` refuses the exact same tag that `/resolved` just accepted
`GET /v1/packages/npm/lucide@latest/entrypoints` → **404**,
`{"status":404,"message":"Couldn't find version latest for lucide. Make sure you use a specific version
number, and not a version range or an npm tag."}` — `@latest` works as a version specifier on the bare
package endpoint (probe 1 resolves it) and on `/resolved`, but the `/entrypoints` sub-resource requires an
already-pinned exact version in the path; the fix is `@1.52.0/entrypoints`, which then returns
`{"entrypoints":{"js":{"file":"/dist/umd/lucide.min.js","guessed":true}}}` — `"guessed": true` because
lucide's `package.json` has no `main`/`exports` jsDelivr can read directly, so the API heuristically picked
a file.

## Probe 4 — unknown package
`GET /v1/packages/npm/this-pkg-does-not-exist-zzz9000` → **404**,
`{"status":404,"message":"Couldn't fetch versions for this-pkg-does-not-exist-zzz9000."}` — same 404 status
family as probe 3 but a different message shape (no "specific version" hint, since there's no package at
all to resolve a version against).

How observed: 2026-10-05, 06:08 UTC, curl 8.
