## JMA `bosai/warning/data/warning/<office>.json` — a second static tree, with stale timestamps by design

A prior corpus record covers JMA's `bosai/forecast/` static-file tree (office/area
hierarchy, `area.json`, `max-age=60`, 404 HTML for unknown codes). The **warning**
tree is a visibly separate path with the same static-S3-behind-CDN shape but a
different staleness story.

### Probe — office 130000 (Tokyo)

```
curl -D - "https://www.jma.go.jp/bosai/warning/data/warning/130000.json"
```
`HTTP/2 200`, `content-type: application/json`, 14,069 bytes. Headers:
`last-modified: Thu, 28 May 2026 01:17:15 GMT`, `cache-control: max-age=60`,
`age: 7`, plus an `etag`. The file is cache-fresh at the CDN edge (`age: 7` seconds,
inside the 60-second TTL) **and** nearly five months stale by `Last-Modified` — both
true at once, because the underlying object is written only when that office issues
a new warning report, not on a schedule. Body `reportDatetime` matches the
`Last-Modified` date (`2026-05-28T10:16:00+09:00`), confirming this is the real
report time, not a caching artifact.

The JSON itself is a nested area-by-area warning-status structure in Japanese
(`headlineText`, then `areaTypes[].areas[].warnings[].status`); with nothing active,
every area's status reads `"発表警報・注意報はなし"` ("no warnings/advisories in
effect").

### Probe — unknown office code

```
curl -D - "https://www.jma.go.jp/bosai/warning/data/warning/999999.json"
```
`HTTP/2 404`, `content-type: text/html` — the JMA site's own HTML 404 page (Japanese,
`<meta name="robots" content="noindex">`), not a JSON error body and not the edge-cached
HTML 404 the forecast tree returns for an unknown *sub-area* code (that one is cached;
this is a direct miss) — same failure family (HTML-not-JSON 404), different tree.

All times in responses are JST (`+09:00`); no API key or User-Agent gate observed on
either tree.

How observed: 2026-10-05T08:54:28Z-08:54:33Z, curl against www.jma.go.jp/bosai/warning/.
