  HAND MAINTAINED. The lastmod values do not update themselves, and they had drifted
  about 3.5 months on 8 of 11 routes before 2026-09-08 (the homepage claimed 2026-05-25
  while pages/home.php had changed that same day). A stale lastmod is worse than none:
  crawlers discount a sitemap that has been wrong before.

  TO REFRESH: derive each date from git, never by hand. In the staging repo, run
  `git log -1` with a short date format against the route's page file, e.g.
  pages/home.php for "/", and copy that date in here.

  ALWAYS PARSE THE RESULT AFTERWARDS. This file's first write was malformed XML that
  still served HTTP 200 (v2.24.x): a status check passed it, only parsing caught it.
  Note also that an XML comment may not contain a double hyphen, which is how the
  2026-09-08 refresh broke this very block on its first attempt.

<!--
  lastmod = the last commit date of that route's page template (config/routes.php).
  Derive it, do not stamp today's date on everything — a sitemap that claims every
  page changed on the day it was regenerated teaches crawlers to ignore the field.
  Regenerate a single entry when you edit its page: ask git for the last commit
  date (%cs) of that page template.
  NOTE an XML comment may not contain a double hyphen, so the command is not
  written out here; that exact mistake made this file malformed once.
  Only 200-serving routes belong here: /framework 301s to /eti and is deliberately
  absent; auth/verify/reset/thankyou carry meta robots noindex (v2.24.19).
