Dead Link Checker & Wayback URL Recovery

Pulls every URL the Internet Archive captured for a site, checks each one against the live site today, and suggests where the dead ones should redirect. Catches the two losses other tools call healthy: 200s that say "not found", and 301s that dump every old path on the home page.
