Summary

Netlify has updated its redirect rule behavior to provide more predictability and consistency, particularly with the introduction of "forced" rules that override Netlify's implicit file shadowing. This change aims to enhance user experience by ensuring redirects behave as expected, reducing unpredictable behavior. The update will take effect on April 7th, and users are advised to check their site's redirects to ensure they behave as intended. With this new behavior, unforced redirect rules will load the original file if it exists, while forced rules will always redirect regardless of existing content.
