Checks

a run passes when

length(output.packages) > `0`
length(output.packages[?starts_with(url, 'https://swiftpackageindex.com/')]) == length(output.packages)
length(output.packages[?name != `null`]) == length(output.packages)
length(output.packages[?repository != `null`]) > `0`

Raw recipe

Served as canonical JSON from /api/v1/recipes/swiftpackageindex.com/search-packages, so its sha256 matches the ETag and the index.
