fix: resolve all 404s across docs site#627
Conversation
Prism AI Gateway was renamed to Command Center (commit 6c6f22c) but no URL redirects were added, causing 16 pages to 404. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…s, update 27 MDX files Root causes: - Suhani Nagpal (8c7b7f8, Mar 25): deleted 116 pages in "orphan links cleanup" without adding redirects - hadarishav (6c6f22c, Apr 22): renamed /docs/prism/* → /docs/command-center/* without redirects Changes: - src/lib/redirects.ts: added 71 new redirect entries covering old prism, tracing/manual, observability, quickstart, prompt-workbench, and other deleted paths; fixed 47 existing redirect entries whose targets had themselves been deleted (chained 404s), correcting them to current valid pages - 27 MDX source files: fixed broken internal href links pointing to deleted/moved paths (evaluation/features/groups, tracing/manual/*, observe/voice/set-up, prompt-workbench, optimization/optimizers/overview, and others) Verified clean: - 0 broken nav links - 0 broken content links (313/313 unique internal hrefs resolve) - 0 dead redirect targets (all 306 redirects point to real pages) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ages Adds two automated checks that run on every PR to dev/main: 1. audit-links.mjs — fails if any nav link or MDX content link points to a missing page (catches broken hrefs introduced by a PR) 2. check-deleted-pages.mjs — fails if an MDX page is deleted without a corresponding entry in src/lib/redirects.ts (prevents the pattern that caused the April 404 incident: pages deleted with no redirects) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- AiChatWidget: h3 → p for "FutureAGI AI Assistant" - TableOfContents: h4 → p for "On this page" - GiscusComments: h3 → p for "Questions & Discussion" - Card: h3 → p for all card titles - global.css: add .docs-section-title class (same styles as h2) - 171 MDX files: ## Next Steps and ## Related → <div class="docs-section-title"> Every page H1 is now the first heading in the DOM.

Review
The link/redirect work itself is solid, but this PR is doing far more than the title and description suggest. There's a sweeping undocumented change to heading semantics that I'd block on.
Blockers
1. ~86 pages quietly demoted ## Next Steps (h2) → <div class="docs-section-title">
Found 172 ## Next Steps ↔ <div class="docs-section-title">Next Steps</div> lines in the diff (one - and one + per page = ~86 pages affected). The PR description only mentions link fixes and a 27-file MDX list. This change is invisible in the description.
Impact:
- "Next Steps" no longer in the document outline
- Won't appear in the on-page Table of Contents
- Screen readers can't jump to it via heading navigation
- Drops the heading structure of half the docs site
If the goal was to declutter the TOC (every page has "Next Steps" — noisy in the sidebar), the right fix is filtering "Next Steps" out of the TOC component, or using <h2 class="docs-section-title">. Demoting to a <div> is throwing away semantics to fix a styling/filtering problem.
2. Four components downgraded headings to <p> — same theme as #1
src/components/docs/Card.astro:89,98— card title was<h3>, now<p>src/components/TableOfContents.astro:25-27— "On this page" was<h4>, now<p>src/components/GiscusComments.tsx:31— "Questions & Discussion" was<h3>, now<p>src/components/AiChatWidget.astro:91— assistant title was<h3>, now<p>
Combined with #1, the entire docs site is having its heading hierarchy hollowed out. Cards inside MDX pages no longer announce themselves as section headings. The "On this page" widget is no longer a landmark. This is a real WCAG 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships) regression and should not ship under a "fix 404s" PR.
If a heading-level lint warning is what triggered these (e.g., <h3> after <h1> skipping <h2>), the right fix is either correct levels or aria-level, not deletion of the heading tag.
Should fix before merge
3. check-deleted-pages.mjs silently skips on git failure — scripts/check-deleted-pages.mjs:84-89
} catch {
console.log('Could not determine deleted files — skipping check.');
process.exit(0);
}If git diff fails for any reason (shallow clone, missing remote, branch protection edge case), CI passes with a "skipped" message. Should process.exit(1) so the failure surfaces — otherwise this guardrail can silently disappear.
4. Regex-based redirect parsing is fragile — scripts/check-deleted-pages.mjs:101-104
const redirectEntries = [...redirectsRaw.matchAll(/'([^']+)':\s*'([^']+)'/g)];- Only matches single-quoted entries. Any
"path": "/x"or backtick-quoted entry silently missed. - Will also match any
'x': 'y'pattern in comments or unrelated code in the file.
Today the file uses single quotes consistently, so it works, but a future commit using double quotes could silently mask missing redirects. Consider importing the actual map (import('../src/lib/redirects.ts')) instead of regex-scraping.
Worth verifying
5. CI workflow needs GH_PAT secret — .github/workflows/pr-checks.yml:25-29
The workflow clones future-agi/landing-page using secrets.GH_PAT. If that secret isn't configured for this repo, every PR check will fail. Confirm the secret is set with the right scopes before merge.
6. Some redirects now land on category pages — src/lib/redirects.ts (multiple lines)
Several redirects now point to parent pages instead of specific content (e.g., /docs/evaluation/builtin/content-moderation → /docs/evaluation/builtin, /docs/evaluation/builtin/factual-accuracy → /docs/evaluation/builtin, /docs/evaluation/features/groups → /docs/evaluation). PR description acknowledges this ("dead redirect targets corrected"), but worth confirming those category pages clearly link to or describe the deleted topics — otherwise users hitting a bookmark land on a generic page with no obvious next step.
7. PR description understates scope
- Header says "27 MDX source files" but the file list shows ~165 MDX files modified.
- Doesn't mention the
## Next Stepsmass demotion or the 4 component heading changes. - An accurate description would help reviewers (and future bisects) understand what really changed.
Clean wins (FYI)
- 71 new redirects + 47 corrected dead targets — the actual link-graph fix work is good and welcome.
- New
pr-checks.yml+check-deleted-pages.mjsis a useful guardrail going forward (after fixes #3, #4). - The 1-line MDX link fixes I sampled (
api-keys.mdx,manual-tracing.mdx,evaluation/index.mdx) all look correct.
Recommendation
Hold for revisions. The link/redirect/CI work should ship — that's all clean. But the heading demotions (~86 page-level + 4 component-level) need either:
- a separate PR with proper a11y justification and a reviewer who owns docs UX, or
- to be reverted from this PR and addressed properly later.
Mixing a 200-page invisible structural change into a "fix broken links" PR makes it impossible to bisect later if a docs-quality regression is reported.
- process.exit(1) on git diff failure so CI surfaces the error instead of silently passing - regex updated to match both single and double quoted redirect entries - card title p element gets explicit text-[1.125rem] to match original h3 size Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
