    sitemap.xml — Search Engine Page Index
    Deployed to the root of the S3 frontend bucket.

    GUIDELINES:
    - Only list PUBLIC pages that should appear in search results
    - Admin/module pages are excluded (they carry noindex + robots.txt block)
    - Feature pages are excluded (authenticated or HTML fragments)
    - Update <lastmod> when page content changes
    - The canonical root URL (/) is listed — CloudFront's UriRewriteFunction
      rewrites it to /html/homepage.html at the edge

    SEO NOTE:
    Only the homepage is a public standalone page. All other pages are either
    login-gated (profile, matching, map) or HTML fragments injected dynamically
    (gallery, media, nav, merchandise). If a public landing page is added
    (e.g., /about, /features, /privacy), add a <url> entry here.
