web/nginx.conf ended its try_files chain in an unconditional /200.html, so
every path the site does not have -- /wp-login.php, /.env, a typo'd inbound
link -- came back as the SPA shell with a success status. It now answers 404,
which needs nginx to know which routes exist: most it infers from the build
output, but dynamic routes and ones that never opted into prerendering have no
file on disk and are listed by hand.
Those hand-maintained lists drift, and the drift is invisible until it ships:
vite dev and npm run preview route from the client manifest and never read
nginx.conf, so a new dynamic route works everywhere a developer would look and
404s in production. hack/check-web-routes.sh compares the lists against
web/src/routes, and a workflow runs it. Its own workflow rather than another
job on license-compliance.yml, which already carries one unrelated check.
Also turns absolute_redirect off. With nginx's default the trailing-slash
canonicaliser reconstructs the origin from its own listen port, so a request
for https://demo.cairnobs.org/settings/ was answered with
Location: http://127.0.0.1:3000/settings -- the container's internal address,
unreachable from the client, and downgraded to http on the way. Verified by
curl against the built image; it was latent here before the canonicaliser
existed too, through the directory redirect on /dev.
