  Sitemap for pabyte.com

  ⚠️ HAND-MAINTAINED. Add every new indexable route here.
  With four URLs a static file is simpler and more reliable than a generator.
  Switch to next-sitemap (or a postbuild script) in Phase 5, when the ~20 service
  and /insights pages land and manual upkeep stops being realistic.
  `scripts/seo-check.sh` asserts the URL count, so a stale sitemap gets caught.

  DELIBERATE OMISSIONS
    /404 and /privacy-policy carry noindex. Listing a noindex URL in a sitemap
    is a contradictory signal — the sitemap says "please index this", the page
    says "don't". Only canonical, indexable URLs belong here.

  NO <changefreq> OR <priority>
    Google ignores both entirely. They are inherited cargo-cult from the 2005
    sitemap spec and only add bytes.

  ABOUT <lastmod>
    Google does use lastmod, but discards it if it looks unreliable — e.g. every
    URL sharing one date forever, or a date that is always "today". The date
    below is honest: every one of these pages genuinely changed on 2026-07-28.
    Update it per-URL when that URL's content actually changes, and leave it
    alone otherwise. An inaccurate lastmod is worse than none.
