Where the workflow shifted
Cloudflare URL forwarding rules can consolidate old paths, platform domains, and temporary URLs into the main domain and preferred entries.
When a site chooses extensionless entries, .html variants, www, old domains, and old topic paths should redirect consistently and agree with canonical tags.
Tool names are not outcomes
The signal matters when it changes how a team ships, reviews, or recovers work, not when it only names another tool.
Check permissions and failure
- Check old domains, www, .html variants, old topic paths, and core-page canonicals
- Keep the test narrow: one low-risk task or tool entry before connecting permissions, logs, failure handling, and human takeover to production
What still needs proof
Redirects and canonicals that disagree keep duplicate-entry noise alive. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
