Redirect Cleanup: Remove stale GitBook & 404 redirects
Summary
Total removed: 321 redirects (33% reduction)
What's in this PR
1. Removed GitBook-era redirects (202 removed)
These are redirects with
/alchemy/...,/enhanced-apis/..., and/documentation/...source paths, all from our GitBook days.GitBook was 3+ years ago and we've done 2 full migrations since (GitBook → ReadMe → Fern). Safe to assume any external links have either updated by now or are dead anyway.
2. Removed 404 redirects (119 removed)
Wrote a custom script to test each redirect source URL against our live site. If hitting the source returned a 404, the redirect isn't doing anything, so I removed them.
Skipped dynamic redirects (
:path*,:method*patterns) since those can't be tested statically.
