  Hand-maintained. <lastmod> is a signal crawlers use to decide whether a page is
  worth re-fetching, so a stale date actively suppresses recrawling of work that
  has actually changed - which is what happened before 16 Aug 2026, when 27 of
  these still read 2026-05-09 after every page had been rewritten.

  If you change a page, change its lastmod. If you add a route, add it here:
  scripts/prerender.mjs takes its route list from this file, so a page missing
  from the sitemap is a page that never gets prerendered, and netlify.toml will
  then serve it as a 404. See scripts/check-routes.mjs.

  <!-- /quote is deliberately absent. The quote journey is behind a preview
       gate, so a public visit redirects to the homepage. Listing it asked
       Google to crawl a URL that answers with homepage content under a second
       address, which is a duplicate of / rather than a page of its own. It also
       made the prerender write a homepage snapshot to /quote/index.html. Put it
       back when the journey goes public. -->

  <!-- Fourth twelve of 10/10/26. Finishing and craft trades, insulation
       and security, professional and education services, and retail.
       Nail studios is the first properly appetite-named page in days:
       insurer ci_a848d42b lists "Nail studios" at tier CORE, an exact
       trade match. Clinical work stays off: chiropractors, osteopaths and
       dentists are all real keyword exclusions in the catalogue. -->
