Both sites used WordPress's default plain permalinks -- no
permalink_structure was ever set -- so every inbound link anyone has
bookmarked, linked from another site, or has indexed in search is of the
form ?page_id=N or ?p=N. Without a redirect those all land on the
homepage with no indication of where the content went.
scripts/export-wp.mjs now also writes redirects.map: a full ID -> new
path table for every published page/post (not just the ones referenced
from other content, since any of them could have outside inbound links),
in the "id path" format Apache's txt RewriteMap wants. Regenerated on
every export run alongside the content itself.
The :443 vhost looks up page_id/p from the query string against that
map and 301s to the resolved path, stripping the old query string.
Unmapped IDs (deleted pages, a stray revision) fall through to the
homepage rather than a bare 404. The redirect target is host-relative,
so it works correctly under any ServerAlias this vhost answers for
(including the still-dormant www.vicidial.com/vicidial.com aliases,
with no changes needed once DNS is eventually pointed here).

Same approach as the vicidial.com migration: 58 pages, 6 posts, 41
attachments and the 4-item nav exported from wordpress_vicihost via
scripts/export-wp.mjs, with the layout and styling ported from this
site's own copy of the small-business theme.
That theme copy is not identical to vicidial's -- it carries the red
VICIhost palette, its own meta description, and shows 6 slides rather
than 5 (smallbusiness_ppp) -- so the CSS and slideshow are ported from
it rather than shared with the other site.
The export script gained handling for custom-link menu items, which this
menu uses for its "Home" entry and vicidial's did not.
