Vercel was doing the apex->www 308 itself (its "redirect to www" project
setting), so nothing about Cloudflare requires a redirect — the behaviour
just disappears with Vercel. Rather than rebuild it with a zone Redirect
Rule plus a proxied placeholder record, attach pcbjam.com as a SECOND
custom domain on pcbjam-site. Both hosts serve the site and the pages
already emit canonical=www, which is what consolidates them for search.
That drops the riskiest artefact in the migration. Redirect Rules are
zone-scoped and run BEFORE Workers/Pages routing, so a `contains` match
instead of `eq` would 308 app./editor./demo./api. to www — breaking the
product API, not just a marketing page. The sibling hosts are also the
reason this was worth avoiding rather than merely guarding.
APEX_MODE (lib/common.sh) selects the topology, defaulting to `serve`.
08-verify-prod.sh now dispatches through assert_apex: in serve mode it
requires the apex to answer 200 with no hop, to not be a stale Vercel
response, to declare canonical=www, and to expose /api/waitlist. The
`redirect` mode and 07's rules/apex phases are kept for the alternative.
08 also checks the attached domains via wrangler rather than the REST API,
so the whole serve-mode path needs only `wrangler login` — no zone scopes
at all.
Comments that explained themselves via the old redirect are corrected:
astro.config.mjs, web/standalone/src/lib/config.ts and
scripts/deploy/build-demo.mjs. The demo keeps posting to www — not because
the apex redirects, but because a CORS preflight cannot follow one, so
aiming at a host that might ever redirect is a latent breakage.
