Research direction

Start by locating the Astro site configuration, page templates, and landing page; the issue names robots.txt, llms.txt, @astrojs/sitemap, and redirect targets /engineer.html, /photographer.html, and /prod_tech.html. Verify the GoatCounter test visit, Person schema rich-results test, OG preview, and that the old URLs land somewhere sensible.
