Research direction

Start by reading issue #1589 and the related history referenced in this report to understand the earlier fix and the regression. Locate the URL key-exclusion handling and reproduce the case where excluding * also excludes <c->. Done means the exclusion distinguishes the literal key from the c- mapping without breaking existing exclusions.
