Prevent redirect from middleware if already redirected in next.config.js

Question

I am doing redirects in next.config.js based on data in CMS (very much like Sanitypress does it https://github.com/nuotsu/sanitypress/blob/main/next.config.js) and also localization redirects in my middleware (if current path is not prefixed with locale e.g /en/ redirect to prefixed path).

Now I want to skip localization redirects if next.config.js has already redirected. Is there an easy way to detect this?

Or should I just move CMS redirects into the middleware, too? Would it have any downsides?

Actually, seems like the middleware is not executed at all if next.config.js has already redirected . Apparently I had some other issue before in my tests and next.config.js redirects never kicked in and the middleware got involved. Case closed.
