<p>Most sites accumulate content that’s no longer relevant but can’t simply be deleted. Yuhi provides a structured lifecycle stage—Sunset—and fine-grained visibility controls to hide deprecated, private, and password-protected items from public channels while keeping them accessible when appropriate.</p>
<p>From redirecting logged-out users to marking content as noindex, Yuhi keeps your archives clean and your users confident in what’s current. It manages the technical side—rewrites, queries, caching, REST behavior—so editors can focus on the story, not the plumbing.</p>

<ul>
<li>Adds a Sunset post status and records the timestamp when content transitions into it</li>

<li>Displays a styled “This page has been sunset” banner for logged-in users</li>
<li>Redirects logged-out visitors to the homepage or a replacement URL</li>
<li>Warns admins when navigation menus include unpublished or sunsetted items, with snooze/dismiss controls</li>
<li>Provides admin settings to toggle behaviors for Sunset, private, and password-protected content</li>
