QR code verification

Every QR code in the artwork that points to the website has been decoded and the address inside it requested directly, rather than scanned and read off a screen. Below is what each code actually contains and where it lands.

What the check found

Handled, worth knowing

One code contains an invalid character

The Mentor-Mentee Startup Kit code holds an invisible control character where the hyphen should be, almost certainly introduced by an autocorrect somewhere in the copying chain. Every other code is clean.

It resolves to the correct page, because a redirect for that exact address is in place. A second safety net on the site also catches it independently, so it works either way. If there is still a correction window with the printer, replacing this one code is the cleanest fix. If not, it is covered.

For the record

The short addresses are deliberate, and permanent

Partway through the build the toolkits moved into the site's content system, because fifteen separately built pages would not have held up. They now live under /tools, so /matrix is served from /tools/matrix. The short addresses were kept and point at them, so every code already generated still works.

Nothing needs deciding here. It is recorded so that it is written down: those short paths are load bearing and must never be removed or renamed.

Every code pointing to the website

Code	Address inside it	Type	Result

Older addresses

Addresses that appeared in earlier link lists and have since changed. Redirects are in place, so any code made from them still works. None of the codes in the artwork use these.

Old address	Now points to	Toolkit	Result
vanessa-gentile.com/rewrite	/tools/script	Practice: Rewrite the Internal Script	Redirect in place

Scope: the artwork also carries three codes pointing to Spotify and YouTube. Those sit outside the website and are not covered by this check, so please confirm them separately.

Method: each code image was decoded to read the exact characters it contains, then that address was requested and the page it returned confirmed by title. This is stronger than scanning, which shows where a code lands but not what it holds.

The site also returns a helpful page rather than an error for any toolkit address that no longer exists, so a code made from an older list still leads somewhere useful.

Anything here that looks wrong, tell me and I will fix it rather than you needing to work out where it came from.
