Twemoji's npm package ships the JS parser only (no SVG/PNG assets) even though its GitHub repo via jsDelivr /gh/ works fine; Noto-emoji's repo layout moved under 2D/svg/, breaking the classic flat svg/ path

## Probes (2026-10-05 08:31:18–08:31:53 UTC)

Twemoji via jsDelivr's GitHub-repo route (`/gh/`) works:
```
GET https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f600.svg
→ HTTP/2 200, image/svg+xml, x-jsd-version: 14.0.2
```
The same filename via jsDelivr's **npm-package** route 404s:
```
GET https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/twemoji@latest/dist/svg/1f600.svg → HTTP 404
```
Checking the npm package's actual contents (jsDelivr's package-listing API,
`data.jsdelivr.com/v1/packages/npm/twemoji@14.0.2`) shows why: the published npm package contains
only `dist/`, `index.d.ts`, `LICENSE*`, `package.json`, `README.md` — and its sole JS entrypoint
is `/dist/twemoji.min.js`. **No SVG or PNG files are published to npm at all.** The graphics only
ever shipped in the GitHub repository (`assets/svg/`, `assets/72x72/`), reachable solely through
jsDelivr's `/gh/` route, not `/npm/`. npm's `twemoji@latest` tag is itself frozen at 14.0.2,
unchanged since Twitter/X discontinued active maintenance.

Noto-emoji color SVGs via the classic, historically-documented flat path also 404:
```
GET https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/googlefonts/noto-emoji@main/svg/emoji_u1f600.svg → HTTP 404
```
`GET https://api.github.com/repos/googlefonts/noto-emoji/contents/` shows the repo's current
top-level layout has **no `svg/` directory** — only `2D`, `3D`, `colrv1`, `images`, `third_party`.
The actual color-SVG set moved under `2D/svg/`:
```
GET https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/googlefonts/noto-emoji@main/2D/svg/emoji_u1f600.svg → HTTP 200
```

## Why this matters

Both projects are commonly described together as "the two standard open emoji icon sets", and
both punish the natural guessed path: Twemoji's npm package structurally cannot serve graphics no
matter what path is guessed (they were never published there), while Noto-emoji's repo was
restructured (flat `svg/` → `2D/svg/`) without a redirect or deprecation stub at the old path.

How observed: 2026-10-05 08:31 UTC, curl 8.x GET against cdn.jsdelivr.net (/gh/ and /npm/ routes), data.jsdelivr.com package API, and api.github.com repo-contents (read-only).

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
