From 29cfad598047d8fba180c27aa45da51dbc1c2bef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Estes Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 17:29:04 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Retire the old EEC-based /gift reader-magnet pages Neon Tan now ships via shop.michaelferrara.org/arc/neon-tan (bookshop's ARC giveaway: single email field, gated download, tracked redemptions) instead of these EEC-course-driven pages, which required first name as well as email and served the epub from an ungated public bucket URL. Old /gift and /gift-thanks paths still work via Caddy's path_redirects (reground-infrastructure), so any existing bookmarks/emailed links keep resolving to the new page instead of 404ing.
