Short links and aliases

Every publish or upload creates one

You don't call a separate tool to get a short link — publishing a page with sherpage_publish or uploading a file with store_upload_file / store_upload_content creates its sl.shebang.pro short link at the same time, automatically. There's no unwrapped state to opt out of.

Custom aliases

By default a link's address uses a generated code, but you can set a memorable vanity path instead:

link_set_alias({ code_or_id: "<code>", alias: "launch" })

That makes the resource reachable at sl.shebang.pro/launch as well. Pass alias: null to clear a custom alias and fall back to the generated code.

Deleting a link deletes the resource too

This is the sharpest edge in the whole platform, so it's said here at full volume, not softened: link_delete does not just remove a sl.shebang.pro address. It permanently deletes the underlying sherpage page or sherserve object and its storage along with the link. There is no "unwrap but keep the file" operation — once a link is gone, so is whatever it pointed at.

link_delete({ code_or_id: "<code>", confirm: "<code>" })

confirm must exactly match code_or_id, which is the only guard against deleting the wrong resource by accident. Think of link_delete as "delete this page/file," not "remove this shortcut."
