<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>The 1.x implementation hooks into <code>kernel.request</code> to detect archived<br>
content, which has several issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>It manually parses the request URI to extract the node ID, which is<br>
fragile and bypasses Drupal's routing system.</li>
<li>It only triggers on moderated nodes in the configured archived state —<br>
non-moderated unpublished nodes are silently ignored.</li>
<li>It also incorrectly serves a 410 for any unpublished node regardless of<br>
moderation state, including drafts that may be published later.</li>
<li>It throws a <code>GoneHttpException</code> directly without rendering a response<br>
body, so the 410 page is a blank response.</li>
<li>There is no way to configure a custom 410 page; the response body is<br>
always empty.</li>
<li>Config schema is missing entirely, causing schema validation errors.</li>
<li>The install config key (<code>site_410</code>) does not match what the settings<br>
form reads and writes (<code>page.410</code>), so the configured value is never<br>
saved correctly.</li>
<li>The <code>moderation_state</code> setting is not exposed in the settings UI,<br>
requiring manual config management to change it.</li>
<li><code>core_version_requirement</code> is <code>^8 || ^9</code>, blocking installation on<br>
Drupal 10 and 11.</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install the module on a Drupal site with Content Moderation enabled.</li>
<li>Create a node with moderation state set to "archived" and unpublish<br>
it.</li>
<li>Visit the node as an anonymous user — the 410 response has no body.</li>
<li>Create an unpublished node on a content type <em>without</em> a moderation<br>
workflow — anonymous users receive a 403 instead of 410.</li>
<li>Create a node in "Draft" state — anonymous users incorrectly receive a<br>
410 instead of 403, signalling permanent removal to search engines.</li>
<li>Configure a custom 410 page path in the settings form and save — the<br>
value is not persisted due to the config key mismatch.</li>
<li>Attempt to install on Drupal 10 or 11 — blocked by<br>
<code>core_version_requirement</code>.</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<ul>
<li>Switch from <code>kernel.request</code> to <code>kernel.exception</code> event subscriber,<br>
intercepting <code>AccessDeniedHttpException</code> on node routes — this reuses<br>
Drupal's routing and access system rather than reimplementing it.</li>
<li>Fix the 410 trigger logic: serve 410 only for moderated nodes in the<br>
configured archived state, or non-moderated unpublished nodes. Draft<br>
and other non-archived moderated nodes correctly fall through to 403.</li>
<li>Render the 410 response via a subrequest so the response body is<br>
populated, with cacheability metadata correctly propagated from the<br>
exception and the error page. Mirrors the pattern used by core's<br>
<code>CustomPageExceptionHtmlSubscriber</code>.</li>
<li>Add support for a configurable custom 410 page path, with access<br>
checking before the subrequest is made.</li>
<li>Add a built-in fallback 410 controller and route (<code>/system/410</code>) for<br>
when no custom path is configured, mirroring core's<br>
<code>system.404</code> pattern.</li>
<li>Add a <code>page__410</code> theme suggestion via OOP<br>
<code>hook_theme_suggestions_page_alter()</code>, allowing themes to provide a<br>
<code>page--410.html.twig</code> template.</li>
<li>Expose the <code>moderation_state</code> setting as a select field in the settings<br>
UI, populated from all content moderation workflows on the site.</li>
<li>Add an optional 410 logging setting, writing notices to a dedicated<br>
<code>archived_410</code> log channel to distinguish module-served 410s from the<br>
core-logged 403 that precedes them.</li>
<li>Add config schema (<code>config/schema/archived_410.schema.yml</code>) and fix the<br>
install config key to match the schema.</li>
<li>Update <code>core_version_requirement</code> to <code>^10 || ^11</code>.</li>
<li>Add full Drupal coding standards docblocks and fix all PHPCS<br>
violations.</li>
<li>Rewrite README to the official drupal.org standard format.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3>
<ul>
<li><del>Review and test on Drupal 10 and 11.</del></li>
<li><del>Add a Twig template for the built-in 410 page (<code>archived_410</code> theme hook).</del></li>
<li>Write automated tests (kernel test for the event subscriber).</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="summary-ui-changes">User interface changes</h3>
<p>The admin settings page at<br>
<strong>Administration » Configuration » System » Archived 410</strong><br>
(<code>/admin/config/system/archived-410</code>) is expanded with three fields:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Archived moderation state</strong> — select populated from all content<br>
moderation workflows on the site (previously only configurable via<br>
config management).</li>
<li><strong>Default 410 (gone) page</strong> — internal path to a custom 410 page body;<br>
leave blank to use the built-in generic response.</li>
<li><strong>Log 410 responses</strong> — checkbox to enable per-request notices in the<br>
<code>archived_410</code> dblog channel.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="summary-api-changes">API changes</h3>
<p>The event subscriber now listens on <code>KernelEvents::EXCEPTION</code> (priority 50)<br>
instead of <code>KernelEvents::REQUEST</code> (priority 34). The method is renamed from<br>
<code>onRequestArchivedContent()</code> to <code>onException()</code>. Code that referenced the<br>
old event or method directly will need updating.</p>
<p>The following injected services have changed:</p>
<ul>
<li>Removed: <code>EntityTypeManagerInterface</code>, <code>BareHtmlPageRendererInterface</code>,<br>
<code>TranslationInterface</code>, <code>RequestStack</code></li>
<li>Added: <code>RouteMatchInterface</code>, <code>HttpKernelInterface</code>,<br>
<code>AccessManagerInterface</code>, <code>UrlMatcherInterface</code>,<br>
<code>RedirectDestinationInterface</code>, <code>LoggerInterface</code> (via dedicated<br>
<code>logger.channel.archived_410</code> service)</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="summary-data-model-changes">Data model changes</h3>
<p>The configuration object <code>archived_410.settings</code> gains three keys:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>moderation_state</code> (string) — the archived state name; defaults to<br>
<code>archived</code>.</li>
<li><code>page.410</code> (string) — the custom 410 page path; empty by default.</li>
<li><code>enable_logging</code> (boolean) — whether to log 410 responses; defaults to<br>
<code>false</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The flat <code>site_410</code> key used in 1.x was never correctly persisted and is<br>
removed. A config schema file is added for the first time.</p>
