During the migration from Facilities to the PDC website, I performed a full redirect audit and rewrite to preserve URL continuity. This log documents broken URLs, custom manual redirects, and key functionality manually restored during the site migration.

# PDC Mercury Migration
## Resolved Technical Issues
### During Development
Functionality lost during site cloning was identified and restored through redirect validation.
| [x] | https://facilities.ufl.edu/projects/current-projects/ | https://pdc.ufl.edu/projects/current-projects/ |
- Projects were not loading in test or prod
| [-] | https://facilities.ufl.edu/projects/current-projects/project/ | https://pdc.ufl.edu/projects/current-projects/project/ |
- Projects display off-center (legacy layout remnants).
### Custom Redirects
These are representative examples of custom manual redirects applied during migration, addressing draft removals, structural changes, and legacy URL normalization.

## Excerpt: .htaccess Redirect Rules
Manually validated from the production .htaccess config (excerpt of 200+ active 301 rules):
```apache

Redirect 301 /about-us/our-promise/ https://pdc.ufl.edu/about-us/our-promise/
