/v2/_catalog answered a bare request with 200 {"repositories":[]} but 400ed
any n, because buildDistributionConfig leaves Catalog.MaxEntries at 0 and the
library rejects n > max. crane catalog sends n=1000, so it always failed. The
same endpoint both worked and rejected a legal parameter.
Setting MaxEntries was the obvious fix and is the wrong one. This registry has
no global catalog and will not grow one: repositories live in per-user ATProto
PDS namespaces, and buildStorageConfig hands the library a placeholder
inmemory driver, so its enumeration is empty by construction. An empty 200
asserts that this registry contains no repositories, which is false and
silently so. UNSUPPORTED says the true thing, and matches the vocabulary
DomainRoutingMiddleware already uses to refuse /v2/* on the UI domain.
There is no conformance cost: _catalog is not in the OCI distribution spec at
all. It is a Docker Registry HTTP API V2 extension, and the spec places
repository discovery out of scope. Docker Hub and GHCR both refuse it outright
and Quay returns an unconditional empty list; none of them 400s a legal n.
The path had three distinct behaviours, not two, and all three now collapse to
one: GET varied by parameter, HEAD was answered by gorilla's MethodHandler
with a bare 405, and the trailing-slash form 301-redirected because
distribution sets StrictSlash(true). Both path forms are registered, and chi
prefers a static pattern over the /v2/* wildcard regardless of declaration
order (verified against the pinned chi version, and pinned by a test that
fails if a request reaches the distribution stand-in).
Also adds the Allow header that RFC 9110 requires on any 405 — a MUST in both
15.5.6 and 10.2.1, not a SHOULD. The value is empty, which 10.2.1 defines as
"the resource allows no methods": true for the catalog, and true for /v2/* on
the UI domain, so the pre-existing gap in DomainRoutingMiddleware is closed
too. Naming a method there would advertise something that does not work.
