Links are where a migration quietly breaks a site’s history. There are five shapes here and they must not all be treated alike.
- Root-relative: tarte tatin
- Absolute, old origin: phở bò
- Nested page path: kitchen notes
- Same-page anchor: on patience
- External, which must not be rewritten: the Maillard reaction
