carlos / platform Public

Ask: move an app from one account to another, keeping its old hostname working (a 301 to the new one is enough).

Why: Tito's static guide pages lived in the tito account (bae) and now belong in a new guides account (bas). Two of them had already been sent to customers as https://<app>.bae.platform.tito.io/. Today the console refuses the move on a host-claim console ("moving an app to another account is not supported on this console yet: it needs a host-claim operation that gates the app under both accounts", internal/console/claim_retire_helpers.go), and the hostname embeds the account sqid, so even a supported move would break every link already sent.

What we did instead (no workaround): created the same app names in guides and deployed identical copies there, and left the tito copies up until the old links stop mattering. Every update now has to be deployed to both accounts.

What would close it:

1. An account transfer for an app, under the host-claim operation the comment above describes.
2. The old <app>.<old sqid>.platform.tito.io host answering with a permanent redirect to the new one for a period (or for good), so links already shared keep working.

Also noticed while doing this: carlos apps list answers 404 on console.platform.tito.io ("this console does not offer carlos apps list yet"), so there's no way from the CLI to see what's in an account before tidying it.
