Expected behaviour

The 8to9 guide should provide help & assistance for people affected by #1847, the removal of re-routing.

Actual behaviour

The 8to9 guide falsly says re-routing works in 9.0 async handlers. And implies it is still available for classic handlers.

Repro case

Cause

Are you willing and able to fix this?

If I knew what the go-forward path was & how to migrate, I'd gladly submit a PR to update 8to9 guide.

Research direction

Start with docs/guides/8to9guide.md around the linked re-routing section, then read issue #1847 to understand the removal and migration expectations. Update the 8to9 guide so it does not claim re-routing remains available for async or classic handlers and clearly reflects the supported go-forward path.
