  Only <loc> and <lastmod> are emitted. <priority> and <changefreq> were removed 2026-08-26:
  Google states plainly that it ignores both, so they were noise that implied a signal we do not
  have (_standards/seo-standards.md, Crawlability + indexing).

  <lastmod> must be a real content date. Bump it when a page's CONTENT changes, not on every
  deploy , a lastmod that always reads "today" gets discounted.

  404.html is deliberately absent. A sitemap lists canonical, indexable URLs only.

  AT PRODUCTION CUTOVER: every <loc> moves to the live domain, and the Sitemap: line in
  robots.txt is uncommented and pointed here. This file stays UNADVERTISED while the build is
  staging, because a sitemap invites indexing and staging must not be indexed.
