Outcome

• Continued execution until the remaining safe lanes no longer had reasonable confidence.
• No lasting live write from this follow-up remained; every attempted mutation rolled back cleanly.
• Sitemap endpoints stayed healthy throughout verification.

What was attempted

• Apache to Rank Math content redirect migration with rollback.
• New exact-match MU plugin redirect layer with rollback.
• Patching existing loaded MU plugins for redirect interception and sitemap suppression with rollback.
• Renaming stale draft redirect pages 43526 and 43545 to retired slugs with rollback.
• WP Rocket full purge, Redis flush, WP cache flush, and transient delete.

Confirmed blocker evidence

• /case-results/ still returns 200 instead of redirecting to /about-us/our-results/.
• /practice-areas/truck-accident/types/ still returns 200 instead of redirecting to /practice-areas/truck-accident/.
• /practice-areas/types/ still redirects to /practice-areas/truck-accident/types/.
• /pedestrian-accident-lawyerss/, /car-accident-injuries/hip-injuries-3/, and /personal-injury-marketing-in-2025-and-beyond/ still return 404.
• /practice-areas/rideshare-accident/ still redirects to the homepage.
• /page-sitemap.xml still includes /practice-areas/truck-accident/types/.
• Database state and public state disagree: page IDs 43526 and 43545 read as draft in the database, but those public URLs still render 200 HTML.
• .htaccess and Rank Math rows already contain the expected redirect logic for some of these URLs, but public traffic ignores it.
