Summary

Separates Nox Protocol from docs.iex.ec to prevent AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor) from confusing Nox with DataProtector and other iExec products when they coexist on the same domain.

Changes

src/components/HomePage.vue

  • Nox Protocol card now links to https://docs.noxprotocol.io/ instead of /nox-protocol/getting-started/welcome
  • All Nox feature cards (Confidential Token, Confidential Smart Contracts, Hello World) updated to docs.noxprotocol.io URLs
  • Renamed isNoxLink() helper to generic isExternalLink() (checks for https:// prefix)

vercel.json

  • Removed rewrites that proxied /nox-protocol/* to the nox-documentation Vercel project
  • Added 301 permanent redirects: docs.iex.ec/nox-protocol/*docs.noxprotocol.io/*
  • Preserves all existing links shared in the wild

Prerequisites before merging

  1. DNS for docs.noxprotocol.io must be configured and propagated
  2. feat: migrate documentation from docs.iex.ec/nox-protocol to docs.noxprotocol.io iExec-Nox/documentation#66 must be merged first

Test plan

  • Verify Nox Protocol card on homepage links to https://docs.noxprotocol.io/
  • Verify feature cards (Confidential Token, Smart Contracts, Hello World) link to correct docs.noxprotocol.io pages
  • Verify docs.iex.ec/nox-protocol/getting-started/welcome returns 301 redirect to docs.noxprotocol.io/getting-started/welcome
  • Verify docs.iex.ec/nox-protocol returns 301 redirect to docs.noxprotocol.io/
  • Verify iExec PoCo card and other internal links still work normally

Separate Nox Protocol from the docs.iex.ec domain to prevent AI
crawlers from confusing Nox with DataProtector and other iExec products.

- Update all Nox Protocol links on homepage to docs.noxprotocol.io
- Replace Vercel rewrites (proxy) with 301 redirects to new domain
- Rename isNoxLink helper to generic isExternalLink
