  FontCurator — sitemap.xml

  Production URLs only. The sitemap is consumed by search engines
  (Google, Bing) which crawl the public production host; sandbox /
  dev hosts are bot-blocked at the WAF, so listing their URLs here
  would be wasted lines.

  Lastmod is the date the underlying page's served body was last
  meaningfully changed — not the deploy date. For most pages this
  tracks the page edit. For the legal documents it normally follows the
  TermsTemplate::VERSION / LicenseTemplate::VERSION /
  PrivacyTemplate::LAST_UPDATED bump, but may also reflect a rendering
  or link fix that materially changes the served page without an
  editorial revision (see the legal block below).

  Lives at the project root; Apache serves it as a static file (no
  rewrite, no PHP). See .htaccess for the public site map.
