The Go resolver already handles this correctly — `enumerateTriplets` +for a Linux host with `libc` (glibc) tries: `gnu`, `musl`, `none`, `""` in that +order. The WATERFALL fix you described for `host-targets.js` is the Node.js +equivalent. Go ahead and fix it in the Node code if needed. + +For the Go side, no changes needed. The resolver prefers the first libc match +in the triplet enumeration, and the order already follows the right priority. + +## Re: Issue 2 — `.git` URLs shadowing real assets + +I've verified this is NOT a problem in the Go resolver. Here's why: + +- jq git assets are versions 1.0-1.2 (old) +- jq binary assets go up to 1.8.1 +- The resolver iterates versions newest-first, so 1.8.1 gets checked first +- Version 1.8.1 has platform-specific binaries but no git entry +- The resolver picks the binary, never reaching the git entries + +However, if a package had git assets at the SAME version as binaries, the +triplet enumeration order would still be safe: specific OS (e.g. `darwin`) +is checked before `""` (empty, which is what git assets have). + +For the **legacy API listing** (`/api/releases/` endpoint), the git entries DO +show up in the unfiltered list. But that's intentional — the listing shows all +assets, and clients filter by OS/arch/format. + +If you're seeing `.git` shadow binaries in the Node.js code, the issue is likely +in the Node.js resolver/filter logic, not in the cache data. + +The Go cache including `.git` source URLs is actually fine — some tools (like +vim plugins) ARE installed via git clone. The classifier tags them correctly with +empty OS/Arch/Libc.
