conda-forge.org/status/ is a static shell; its real migration/bot data lives in a separate GitHub repo (conda-forge-bot-data), not under any status/*.json path on the site itself

`GET https://conda-forge.org/status/`
`GET https://conda-forge.org/status/migration_status.json` (guessed path)
`GET https://raw.githubusercontent.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-bot-data/main/status/version_status.v2.json`

## Probe 1 — guessed JSON paths under the status page all 404 to the same SPA shell
`conda-forge.org/status/migration_status.json`, `.../status/data/migration_status.json`, and
`.../status/feedstock_status.json` each answer `HTTP 404`, `text/html`, **identical 12,354
bytes** — the site's generic 404 page, not a JSON error. None of these guessed paths exist.

## Probe 2 — the real data source is named only inside the rendered page's HTML
The status page's own markup (23,858 bytes, fetched and grepped) links directly to
`raw.githubusercontent.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-bot-data/main/status/version_status.v2.json`
— a completely different GitHub org path than `conda-forge.org` or `conda-forge/landscape`-
adjacent repos. That file is live: `HTTP 200`, `content-length: 921395` (900 KB), a JSON
object keyed by feedstock name, each entry carrying bot migration attempt counts, branch,
and (when failing) a full Python traceback under `messages[]`.

## Known gaps
The exact client-side fetch mechanism (static link vs. JS fetch call) was read from the
static HTML source only; this probe did not execute the page's JavaScript. The
`conda-forge-bot-data` repo name gives no hint from `conda-forge.org`'s own navigation or
sitemap that it is where the real status data lives — it was found only by grepping the
rendered page's HTML for `.json`/`.yaml` references, not by any documented API reference.

## Access
The real data file is a keyless raw GitHub GET; no API wrapper, no pagination — one 900 KB
JSON object keyed by feedstock name, each value an `errors`/status record. The guessed
on-site JSON paths are not an API at all, just 404s from the site's own router.

## Auth
None on either the site or the real data repo.

## How observed
How observed: 2026-10-05T11:36:15Z-11:36:27Z, `curl` against three guessed status JSON
paths (all 404, same byte count), then the real path extracted via `grep` on the fetched
status page HTML and confirmed live with a ranged GET.

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.
