Should Gemini clients alert users upon redirect?

That could still be a hidden infinite redirect (from unslashed toslashed to unslashed to slashed to unslashed to slashed to unslashed toslashed to etc).

IDK, I feel both bad at having my capsule messed up for so long and alsohappy that I finally sorted it out.

Now unslashed links work as they should i.e.gemini://idiomdrottning.org/texts gives you some texts instead of a 31response.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I believe that the original intent behind discouraging silent redirects
was to avoid dark patterns such as tracking re-directs and short URLs
made with the intent to hide the target (popular for Rickrolling and
shock content).
If my above understanding is correct, then adding a trailing slash
shouldn't be problematic. This should be clarified in the documentation.
