MDN reorganised its reference tree; six cited deep links now 301. Each replacement was resolved through the MDN MCP server, not guessed. Rotating slice this run: i18n, resilience, privacy (92 sources across 27 pages). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Six MDN citations updated to their current canonical URLs. No prose changes, no status changes.

The daily standards scan's rotating citation-health slice this run was i18n + resilience + privacy — 92 source URLs across 27 pages. These six are the MDN reference-tree drift. The old URLs still resolve via 301, so nothing is broken today, but CONTRIBUTING.md is explicit that hard-coded MDN deep links rot and should be resolved through the MDN MCP server.
Every replacement above was resolved through the MDN MCP server, not guessed by hand or pattern-matched from the old path.

I could not confirm it, becauseWebFetchtoedpb.europa.euis policy-denied in the scan's environment — so I am deliberately not proposing a replacement URL I could not fetch. Please check it by hand. If it is dead, the likely fix is the EDPB's 101-complaints task-force page, which does cover the claim the spec page makes (Austrian/French/Italian/Danish DPAs ruling on Google Analytics transfers).Verification

No entry. Per CLAUDE.md, citation-URL maintenance with no change to what a page says is not changelog material. Flagging it as a judgement call — if you'd rather have a
