Question§

What happens to each old URL, and is the migration reversible?

Nodes§

Old URL; Hop; Destination; Release; Rollback mapping

Relationship sketch§

  • old URL → redirect hop
  • final URL → intended replacement
  • mapping → release version

Evidence inputs§

Authorized redirect map, actual HTTP observations, content equivalence decisions, backup mapping.

Implementation§

Check loops, long chains, deleted destinations, and mismatched content. Treat redirect changes as authorized production changes with rollback; do not silently replace all missing pages with the homepage.

Acceptance checks§

  • No loop in approved redirect paths
  • Every moved important URL has a reviewed outcome
  • Rollback restores the previous mapping

Do not infer§

An HTTP redirect does not prove the destination inherited a particular ranking.

Publication boundary§

Redirect behavior public; migration control records private.
