  The public pages only. Checkout, the account area, order pages and the admin
  are deliberately absent: middleware.ts sends them an X-Robots-Tag noindex
  header, and listing them here would invite exactly the crawling that header
  exists to prevent.

  <lastmod> only. Google ignores <changefreq> and <priority> entirely and has
  said so publicly for years, so carrying them only created two more fields to
  drift out of date while meaning nothing. lastmod is the one hint it reads.

  THE DATES ARE PER PAGE, AND THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT. They were all identical
  once, bumped together on each deploy, which is the state in which Google
  stops reading lastmod for a site altogether — a date that always says "today"
  carries no information. A page's date moves when that page's wording,
  pictures or prices change. It does not move for a deploy, a structured-data
  addition, or anything else a reader would not notice.

  Where each date comes from:
    /cookies, /privacy, /terms  the "Last updated" line those pages print,
                                which lib/legal.ts holds. A test pins the two
                                to each other, so the sitemap cannot claim a
                                date the page itself contradicts.
    /                           2 October 2026, when the photographs on the
                                "Hydra in everyday life" cards were replaced.
    everything else             1 October 2026, the site's first publication
                                date. Their copy has not been edited since,
                                and an older honest date is worth more than a
                                recent invented one.

  Static rather than generated: the route list changes rarely, and a file that
  is simply served cannot break the way a generated one can.
