The bitness parameter is causing no results to be found for the /v3.0/packages api #147

Our builds started failing today (03/25/2026) because the maven-toolchains-plugin (https://github.com/linux-china/toolchains-maven-plugin) failed to find any results from the foojay api. I looked through the plugin code, and it is calling the foojay api like this:

curl --location 'https://api.foojay.io/disco/v3.0/packages?distribution=corretto&version=25&operating_system=macos&architecture=x64&bitness=64&archive_type=pkg&libc_type=libc&latest=overall&package_type=jdk&discovery_scope_id=directly_downloadable&match=any&javafx_bundled=false&directly_downloadable=true&release_status=ga'

and it gets a result like this:

{ "result": [], "message": "No package(s) found" }

If I remove the bitness flag from the url manually, the search works.

curl --location 'https://api.foojay.io/disco/v3.0/packages?distribution=corretto&version=25&operating_system=macos&architecture=x64&archive_type=pkg&libc_type=libc&latest=overall&package_type=jdk&discovery_scope_id=directly_downloadable&match=any&javafx_bundled=false&directly_downloadable=true&release_status=ga'

{ "result": [ { "id": "129c97e1e7a0b10b7ca0dd01b0be2995", "archive_type": "pkg", "distribution": "corretto", "major_version": 25, "java_version": "25.0.2", "distribution_version": "25.0.2", "jdk_version": 25, "latest_build_available": true, "release_status": "ga", "term_of_support": "lts", "operating_system": "macos", "lib_c_type": "libc", "architecture": "x64", "fpu": "unknown", "package_type": "jdk", "javafx_bundled": false, "directly_downloadable": true, "filename": "amazon-corretto-25.0.2.10.1-macosx-x64.pkg", "links": { "pkg_info_uri": "https://api.foojay.io/disco/v3.0/ids/129c97e1e7a0b10b7ca0dd01b0be2995", "pkg_download_redirect": "https://api.foojay.io/disco/v3.0/ids/129c97e1e7a0b10b7ca0dd01b0be2995/redirect" }, "free_use_in_production": true, "tck_tested": "yes", "tck_cert_uri": "https://aws.amazon.com/de/blogs/opensource/amazon-corretto-no-cost-distribution-openjdk-long-term-support/", "aqavit_certified": "unknown", "aqavit_cert_uri": "", "size": 221518516, "feature": [] } ], "message": "1 package(s) found" }

bitness does not appear to even be in the data anymore. Would it be possible to have the api ignore the bitness query parameter instead of returning 0 results?
