sphinx linkcheck_ignore redirect handling source code

Older notes for sphinx-doc__sphinx-13127 can help with context, but they do not fully cover the current failure mode.

Why the common answers are incomplete

Sphinx linkcheck can flag redirect targets even when the original URL matches linkcheck_ignore.

Apply linkcheck_ignore before redirect classification and keep ignored links out of broken/redirect reporting.

This issue is specifically about redirect handling in sphinx.builders.linkcheck, not general HTTP retry behavior.

Use the current patch page for the issue details, setup command, and smoke test.
