Fix .md redirect target for routes.yaml-remapped pages (#30375) - #30700
When a page's URL is remapped by routes.yaml (a collection's `data:` source, or the site root), its `.md` variant redirects to the wrong place. The reporter pointed at the markdown controller, but the actual bug is one level up: `ParentRouter._respectDominantRouter()` builds the dominant-router redirect by appending the unmatched `.md` request path onto the routed directory, so `/contact.md` becomes `/rubrique/contact.md` (404) instead of `/rubrique.md`. For a root-mapped page this produces a redirect to itself instead of a working `/index.md`.
Fixed the dominant-router redirect to use `getMarkdownPath(targetRoute)` when the incoming request is a `.md` path, same as the correct path used for `llms.txt` generation. Also mounted a real `.md` route directly on entry-backed collection/static routes (instead of relying only on the redirect) so the root-page case resolves to a working `/index.md` rather than looping, and threaded the resolved canonical path through so `Content-Location` and the non-llms redirect target stay consistent.
Added e2e coverage with a real routes.yaml fixture covering both cases (collection `data:` remap and root remap). Confirmed both fail on the pre-fix code (`/rubrique/contact.md` 404, self-redirect loop on `/about.md`) and pass after the fix. Ran the broader routing test suite too (55/55 passing) since this touches shared redirect logic.

I've written an automated test to prove my change works
Custom routes backed by a single page or post can now mount and serve Markdown at route-specific paths. The routing controller fetches the routed entry and uses route metadata for Markdown content locations and canonical URLs. Dominant-router redirects use the target router’s Markdown route when available and preserve query strings. Unit and end-to-end tests cover route registration, responses, redirects, and preview content.
Priority: Normal
Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium
Merge Risk: Low · up to 80c14
Convert the new E2E test to TypeScript to meet the repository requirement. The identified Markdown fallback bug predates this change.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to c684b
The new Markdown URLs reuse existing gift, subscription and payment checks. No introduced access bypass was established, but complete verification of protected-content serialization and all response-cache behavior remains incomplete.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The changed exposure is additional public Markdown URLs for a site’s qualifying configured posts and pages, including protected entries. The inspected flow carries the resolved entry ID and resource type into payment handling; it does not introduce a caller-selected tenant or arbitrary privileged resource lookup.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The new controller rejects gift requests before fetching content. Both fetchEntry and the existing entry lookup propagate member identity into API context. The shared Markdown handler refuses full members-only rendering and sends paid or tiered entries through payment handling; entries already carrying full HTML do not receive the unpaid preview callback.
inferred — The inspected payment adapters derive payment scope from the requested pathname, while fulfillment reloads the entry by its supplied ID and resource type. Route-specific Content-Location therefore does not itself grant payment authority or select another entry. Cross-alias credential reuse was assessed from source, not an inspected end-to-end alias test.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The existing fulfillment sequence checks deliverability, verifies payment, records replay state and then renders full Markdown. The inspected production factory injects the replay repository, whose duplicate and unique-constraint race handling reject reused credentials. Ledger failures and replay return errors before full rendering. Paid responses use private, no-store; payment challenges and problem responses use no-store. Settlement, recording and response delivery are not one atomic transaction, and that ordering is unchanged by this PR.

Explanation
Issue #30375 requires working .md URLs for routes.yaml page remaps, including collection data: routes and the site root. ParentRouter now uses the target router Markdown route, and mountMarkdownRoute() mounts direct routes for single-entry collection and static routes. The implementation passes canonical and Markdown paths to the Markdown controller. The added end-to-end and unit tests cover collection remaps, root remaps, /index.md, redirects, headers, query strings, and the llms-disabled path.

Explanation
The data lookup, route-entry resolution, Markdown controller changes, route registration, canonical-path handling, fixtures, and tests support the Markdown behavior required by issue #30375. No unrelated change is evident in the reviewed change summary.
Full details: Type-Safe Boundaries
Explanation
No explicit type-safety failure is introduced. The added RouteData field reuses the existing adapter type, and route settings data is parsed through the existing Zod-backed parseRouteData path before routers receive it. resolveRouteEntry and fetchEntry are internal module calls. The diff adds no any, unchecked as, @ts-ignore, or @ts-nocheck, and it adds no hand-written type duplicating a Zod schema.
Full details: Tooling Ownership
Explanation
The authoritative PR inventory contains only Ghost Core routing/data source files, their unit and E2E tests, and a test fixture. It adds no scripts, tools, shared configuration, or moved paths. The tests and fixture remain beside the owning ghost application and test infrastructure, so the tooling-ownership failure condition is not introduced.
Full details: New Files Are Typescript
Explanation
The PR adds ghost/test/e2e-frontend/markdown-routes.test.js as a new JavaScript source file. The file is outside all listed exceptions, and test files have no exception. The remaining .js changes are modifications to existing files and do not fail this check.
Resolution
Rename ghost/test/e2e-frontend/markdown-routes.test.js to markdown-routes.test.ts and update the test to use TypeScript-compatible syntax and types. Alternatively, move it under an explicitly permitted exception path if that is appropriate.

ref TryGhost#30375
The `<route>.md` controller hand-rolled a Content API call with its own
include list; it now reads the entry through the data service, the same
path the route's html uses. The mount and redirect logic was duplicated
across routers, so it moved onto ParentRouter and also covers channel
routes, which had the same broken redirect.
A route only gets a markdown URL when its data reads exactly one post or
page, so a multi-entry route never serves the wrong entry, and the
redirect target and Content-Location now honour a subdirectory for the
root route. Gift tokens are stripped like on every other `.md` URL.
ref TryGhost#30375
Routed markdown reuses the regular `.md` gating, so the e2e suite covers
a post data entry, a members-only data page and the llms toggle against
a real routes.yaml rather than mocks.

For now, I’ve merged #32116, which is a minimal fix for the broken llms.txt links and redirect loops by serving Markdown directly at the existing URLs (as outlined in 3#0375).
I’ve also closed #32118 in favour of this approach for broader custom-URL support. Although this adds more code, it keeps the changes focused on Markdown routing and covers more route types.
Before taking that further, as the open bug is resolved, do we have a concrete use case that needs Markdown at the custom URLs, now that the published links work? I’d like to understand that benefit before adding routing complexity for a lightly used feature.

When a page's URL is remapped by routes.yaml (a collection's `data:` source, or the site root), its `.md` variant redirects to the wrong place. The reporter pointed at the markdown controller, but the actual bug is one level up: `ParentRouter._respectDominantRouter()` builds the dominant-router redirect by appending the unmatched `.md` request path onto the routed directory, so `/contact.md` becomes `/rubrique/contact.md` (404) instead of `/rubrique.md`. For a root-mapped page this produces a redirect to itself instead of a working `/index.md`.
Fixed the dominant-router redirect to use `getMarkdownPath(targetRoute)` when the incoming request is a `.md` path, same as the correct path used for `llms.txt` generation. Also mounted a real `.md` route directly on entry-backed collection/static routes (instead of relying only on the redirect) so the root-page case resolves to a working `/index.md` rather than looping, and threaded the resolved canonical path through so `Content-Location` and the non-llms redirect target stay consistent.
Added e2e coverage with a real routes.yaml fixture covering both cases (collection `data:` remap and root remap). Confirmed both fail on the pre-fix code (`/rubrique/contact.md` 404, self-redirect loop on `/about.md`) and pass after the fix. Ran the broader routing test suite too (55/55 passing) since this touches shared redirect logic.
Closes #30375
