AFDocs fixes: avoid redirect-behavior false positive

Context

The AFDocs scorecard redirect-behavior check was failing on all 50 sampled pages (score: 88/100, B+). Investigation showed the check heuristically scans the first 10 KB of HTML for location.href = assignments and was matching the anchor link copy handler in CustomHead.astro:

// Fallback when clipboard API fails
window.location.href = href;

This is an interactive click handler for heading anchor links, not a page-level redirect. The afdocs checker strips <pre> and <code> blocks but not <script> tags, so it misclassifies the pattern.

Fix

Replace window.location.href = href with window.location.hash = url.hash. Since Starlight anchor links are always fragment-only (#heading-name), location.hash is functionally equivalent and doesn't trigger the afdocs heuristic.

Audit summary (pre-fix)

  • Score: 88/100 (B+) — 23 checks, 18 pass, 2 fail, 1 warn, 2 skip
  • Remaining failure: redirect-behavior (50 JS redirects — fixed in this PR)
  • Allowlisted: content-negotiation (Vercel static hosting limitation), markdown-content-parity (Turndown escaping false positive)

Expected score after deploy

With this fix, redirect-behavior should pass, bringing the score to ~92/100 (A-).

…andler

Replace `window.location.href = href` with `window.location.hash = url.hash`
in the heading anchor click handler. The old pattern triggered the afdocs
`redirect-behavior` check, which heuristically scans the first 10 KB of HTML
for `location.href =` assignments and classifies any match as a JavaScript
redirect. Since anchor links are always fragment-only, `location.hash` is
functionally equivalent and avoids the false positive.

Overview

This PR changes the heading anchor copy fallback in src/components/CustomHead.astro from location.href navigation to location.hash so AFDocs no longer detects a page-level redirect.

Concerns

  • The new explanatory comment still contains the exact location.href = pattern that the AFDocs heuristic is trying to avoid, so the check can continue failing even though the executable assignment changed.

Verdict

Found: 0 critical, 1 important, 0 suggestions
