doxa-maps-88655c70 4fc261f8df Say which film it is: three languages were labelled JESUS Film without one
Five codes still carried the retired ?languageId= URL, which nothing can verify.
Asking Arclight what each language actually has:

  ars  Arabic, Najdi        The Savior                 (8 groups; film was their ONLY resource)
  gjk  Kachi Koli           Magdalena - Director's Cut
  mzn  Mazanderani          Magdalena - Director's Cut
  lia  Limba, West-Central  no feature at all
  jos  Jordanian Sign Lang  left alone, see below

counts.featureFilm >= 1 says a feature exists, not that it is JESUS. Three of
these had a real JESUS Film Project film in their own language under a different
title, and the map called all of them the JESUS Film — the same class of lie as
calling Open Bible Stories Scripture. They now ship under their own names, with
verified deep links; lia's film is dropped, because no component carries it and
a link nobody can check is worse than none.

jos is left exactly as it was. Arclight files iso3 jos under a row whose own
name reads Lebanese Sign Language, while the JESUS Film sits at a different id
named Jordanian Sign Language. The ISO join and the publisher's label disagree,
and resolving that is a data question, not a guess to make inside a fetcher.

/**
* fetch-arclight-share-urls.mjs — get the REAL per-language JESUS Film deep link.
*
* THE DEFECT THIS FIXES. We shipped https://www.jesusfilm.org/watch/?languageId=<id> for
* 2,087 languages. MEASURED IN A BROWSER: the current site ignores that query parameter —
* a real id and a bogus id render the same generic library page. The film was real and
* the link did not carry anyone to it.
*
* Arclight's media-components endpoint returns a shareUrl per language, and that IS a
* deep link: /watch/jesus/german-standard. It discriminates, which the old URL never did —
* a real slug returns ~900KB carrying the media component id `1_jf-0-0` 369 times, a
* bogus slug returns a 33KB page carrying it 0 times.
*
* WHY FETCHED PER LANGUAGE AND NOT DERIVED FROM THE NAME. The slug looks derivable —
* "Pashto, Southern" -> pashto-southern — and 8 of 8 sampled names transformed correctly.
* Eight is not 2,087, and a wrong slug is not a broken link but a link to SOMEONE ELSE'S
* language, which is the failure this repo guards hardest against. The API is
* authoritative, so it is asked. Rate-limited, resumable, and cached so it is asked once.
