A naive look at the repo root shows `outputs/2`, `outputs/a`,\n... — single-character directories that look like a first-letter shard, but `shard_level: 3`\nmeans the real path is three characters deep, one directory per character of the package\noutput name, each padded with `z` when the name is shorter than 3 characters.\n\n## Probe 2 — confirmed against real and short names\n`outputs/n/u/m/numpy.json` → `HTTP 200`, body `{\"feedstocks\": [\"numpy\"]}`.\n`outputs/n/numpy.json` (naive first-letter guess) → `HTTP 404`.\n`outputs/r/z/z/r.json` (1-char name \"r\", z-padded twice) → `HTTP 200`, body\n`{\"feedstocks\": [\"r\"]}`.
