Link Control: use notes

The packaging owner copies the exact encoded address and approved artwork revision; do not infer it from the landing page. Web operations confirms actual domain, DNS and redirect control and names the continuing administrator. Content owner approves the new destination and retirement fallback. Before retiring a provider or old route, scan the approved applied label and record decoded address, redirect outcome, final content, language, HTTPS and phone behavior. A pending row is not a working link. The .invalid examples cannot operate. For an externally controlled encoded domain, confirm available continued service or migration arrangements; control of the destination alone cannot rescue an expired printed domain.

Field responsibilities

Retain exact encoded URL; confirm domain/control ownership, migration destination, fallback, monitoring and reprint checks.

Examples are hypothetical planning inputs. Blank observations and approvals are intentionally unknown, not zero or passed. The buyer records an evidence reference and the authorized decision only after the work occurs.
