-## 如何测试
+# 201_94 Fix slink bare URL redirect without HTTPS
 
-1. 打开`TeXmacs/tests/tmu/201_94.tmu`.
-2. 选中注记点击编辑宏，观察程序是否会crash
+## How to test
+1. Type `slink`, press Enter, enter URL `liiistem.cn`
+2. Ctrl+click the rendered link
+3. Expected: browser opens `https://liiistem.cn`
+4. Create a file `notes.pdf` next to the document, link to it via slink with `notes.pdf`
+5. Ctrl+click — expected: opens the local file, NOT `https://notes.pdf`
+
+## 2026/03/15 Move bare domain detection into default-root-handler
+### What
+Bare domains like `liiistem.cn` in slinks now open in the browser, while file links like `notes.pdf` still resolve correctly as local files.
+
+### Why
+The previous approach (prepending `https://` early in `go-to-url`) could misidentify file paths as web URLs because it checked file existence against the working directory, not relative to the current document. Moving the check into `default-root-handler` ensures file resolution (including relative paths) is attempted first.
+
+### How
+Added `url-looks-like-bare-domain?` check in `default-root-handler` (link-navigate.scm). The check runs only after relative path resolution has been attempted, and only matches strings that have no slashes, contain a dot, and don't resolve to an existing file via `url-expand`.
+
+## 2026/03/07 Prepend https:// for bare domain URLs in slink
+### What
+When a user enters a bare domain like `liiistem.cn` in an slink (without `https://`), clicking the link now correctly opens it in the browser.
+
+### Why
+Fixes #2324. Previously, bare domains were treated as local file paths because `go-to-url` routed them through `default-root-handler`. Since no local file exists, the link did nothing.
+
+### How
+Added `url-string-looks-like-web?` check in `go-to-url` (link-navigate.scm) that detects bare domain strings (no protocol, contains a dot, not a local file path) and prepends `https://` before URL routing.
