Is there a way to filter catalog items by stock using the GraphQL API? I’ve noticed that there is a `stockLevel` filter available, but I can’t find a way to exclude items with `stockLevel: [OUT]`.

Additionally, using `stockLevel: [OUT]` doesn’t seem to return catalog items with 0 quantity as expected.

If this functionality isn’t possible with the GraphQL API, is there an alternative method using REST?
