S3 → R2 stray-image promote — 2026-05-11

25 IMAGES PROMOTED FROM LEGACY S3 → R2 · 2026-05-11 · MODE=BASENAME

Image basenames referenced by the dare-co-uk repo but present only in the legacy s3://cdn.dare.co.uk bucket — never mirrored to R2. Uploaded to dare-images/posts/, served at images.dare.co.uk. Live visitors hitting these references stop 404-ing.

TL;DR

• 25/25 uploads succeeded at the existing basenames (basename mode — preserves repo references; SEO renames parked).
• 25/25 verified HTTP 200 at images.dare.co.uk/posts/<basename>.
• Total payload: 2.7 MB across 25 objects, written with Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable.
• Source: Lost-files audit

Source detail

Flagged for future judgment

These auto-slugs are mechanically correct but SEO-suboptimal. Slug pass parked; revisit when a focused image-rename session has bandwidth + source images:

• 005-300x292.jpg → proposed 005.jpg — stripped resolution suffix; ⚠ numeric-only slug — needs human rename for SEO value; ⚠ very short slug — consider adding context
• gauchos-in-patagonia.jpg → proposed gauchos-patagonia.jpg — dropped stop words
• henri-cartier-bresson-300x191.jpg → proposed henri-cartier-bresson.jpg — stripped resolution suffix
• kayak.jpg → proposed kayak.jpg — ⚠ very short slug — consider adding context
• steven-soderbergh-259x300.jpg → proposed steven-soderbergh.jpg — stripped resolution suffix
• toyko.jpeg → proposed toyko.jpg — possible typo: ‘toyko’ → ‘tokyo’?; ⚠ very short slug — consider adding context
• u2-no-line-on-the-horizon.jpg → proposed u2-no-line-horizon.jpg — dropped stop words

What’s next

• 🟢 404 gap closed — all 25 basenames now 200 at images.dare.co.uk/posts/.
• 🟡 Slug renames parked — repo references preserved tonight; revisit as a focused image-rename pass when source images are in hand.
• ⚠ Legacy S3 bucket retirement — cdn.dare.co.uk is now redundant for the production CDN (mostly WP-era cruft remaining). One-shot UI delete is appropriate; mint a per-purpose dare-bucket-retire token only if scripting needed.
