check_ai_accessPer-UA allow/block matrix for AI crawlers (robots.txt + live fetch).
create_redirectwrite actionCreates a 301 redirect on the live WordPress site to resolve an issue. Goes through apply_fix, so the tier gate applies and a rollback record is stored before anything is written (revert with the returned fix_id).
