# Older address redirect

## What the Screen Is For

Compatibility handling keeps earlier bookmarks and email links useful while workspace-specific addresses are adopted.

## What It Shows and Lets People Do

A mapped link is replaced with its current workspace address, preserving record values and the query. The active context supplies the workspace. Staff without one go to HQ through the staff gate. Unknown mappings show a not-found panel. Non-workspace compatibility redirects run on the server.

## States and Errors

There is no page content while redirecting. Start-up must finish first, and its failure screens remain responsible for unsuccessful initialization.

## Patterns It Must Respect

The client redirect replaces history and uses the shared NotFoundPanel for an unmapped link. Retirement requires the product decision already recorded as open.
