Audit redirects and missing pages. Site platform: [PLATFORM]. Data: 404 URLs from crawl or search console with inbound links and traffic if known, current redirect rules, and a list of recent changes: [PASTE_DATA].

Return tables:
1. 404 triage: URL | Why it exists (deleted page, typo link, old campaign, bot request) | Inbound links | Past traffic | Best action (restore, redirect to the closest equivalent, let it return 404 or 410, fix the source link).
2. Redirect map: Old URL | New URL | Type (permanent) | Reason | Notes. Redirect to the most relevant page, not the home page by default.
3. Chains and loops: URLs that redirect more than once; the corrected direct redirects.
4. Soft 404s: pages that show "not found" content with a success status.
5. Internal links to fix: pages that link to redirected or missing URLs.

Provide rules: update internal links so they point directly to final URLs; keep redirects for at least a year; avoid mass redirecting everything to one page; keep a changelog; and test with a crawler. Include a monitoring routine (weekly 404 check) and a custom 404 page outline that helps visitors (search box, popular links, contact). Use only the data I provided.
