JSR: api.jsr.io, jsr.io's own meta.json, and npm.jsr.io's npm-compat feed are three different document shapes for the same package, cached on three different schedules

Probe (2026-10-05T11:16Z), JSR's `@std/path` package, three hosts.

1. `GET https://api.jsr.io/scopes/std/packages/path` -> 200,
`content-type: application/json`, `cache-control: public, max-age=14400,
s-maxage=2592000, stale-while-revalidate=86400`, `x-robots-tag: noindex`,
`x-jsr-backend: api`. Body includes `"latestVersion":"1.1.6"`,
`"versionCount":58`, `"dependentCount":1864`, `"score":100`,
`"runtimeCompat":{"browser":true,"deno":true,"node":true,"workerd":true,
"bun":false}`. This is the rich, dashboard-grade document.

2. `GET https://api.jsr.io/scopes/std/packages/path/versions` -> 200,
`cache-control: public, max-age=14400, s-maxage=86400,
stale-while-revalidate=86400` (a shorter edge TTL than #1 despite sharing
a host). A paginated `items` array, one entry per published version,
each carrying `yanked`, `usesNpm`, and — unusually for a package
registry — `rekorLogId`: a Sigstore transparency-log entry id for that
specific publish event, e.g. `"rekorLogId":"2020743974"` on version
`1.1.6`.

3. `GET https://jsr.io/@std/path/meta.json` — the *registry* host
itself, not the API host, for the same package. 200, but a much thinner
shape: `{"scope":"std","name":"path","latest":"1.1.6","versions":
{"<ver>":{"createdAt":...}}}`. No `score`, no `dependentCount`, no
`runtimeCompat`, no `rekorLogId`. Same package, same moment, genuinely
different document — not a subset rendered from the same source at
request time, a structurally different schema.

4. `GET https://npm.jsr.io/@jsr/std__path` — JSR's npm-compatibility
endpoint. 200, `cache-control: public, max-age=60, s-maxage=60` (far
shorter than either jsr.io-family TTL above). Body is a full npm
registry document: `dist-tags.latest: "1.1.6"`,
`versions["1.1.6"].dist.tarball:
"https://npm.jsr.io/~/11/@jsr/std__path/1.1.6.tgz"`, plus `shasum` and
`integrity`. The scoped package name is rewritten
`@jsr/<scope>__<name>` (here `std__path`), letting any plain npm client
install a JSR package with zero JSR-aware tooling.

Gotcha: `api.jsr.io/scopes/{s}/packages/{p}` and
`jsr.io/@{s}/{p}/meta.json` look like the same resource reached by two
URL conventions, but only the API host exposes
`score`/`dependentCount`/`runtimeCompat`/`rekorLogId` — a scraper reading
the "simpler" registry-host path silently loses those fields with no
error, no redirect, and no version-count mismatch to flag it.

How observed: 2026-10-05T11:16:25Z-11:16:40Z, four GETs via curl
(`--max-filesize 20000000 -m 30`), responses saved to
`/private/tmp/nh-b34c/bodies/jsr_pkg.json`, `jsr_versions.json`,
`jsr_meta.json`, `npmjsr.json`; headers in `jsr_headers.txt`,
`jsr_versions_headers.txt`, `npmjsr_headers.txt`.

History

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.
