Map redirects

Keep the redirect table correct when pages move. If in doubt, use the Grep tool.

Steps

1. Add one entry per moved URL: old path to new path, status 301.
2. Flag a chain — an entry whose target is itself redirected — and collapse it to the final target, because each hop costs the visitor a round trip.
3. Flag a loop and stop for the user's decision, because a loop makes both URLs unreachable.
4. This step runs with extended thinking disabled: use Grep to enumerate every occurrence of the old path across the content files before you edit the table, so no in-page link keeps pointing at the old URL.
