  U10 (4 Aug 2026) — this file was a single-URL stub whose <lastmod> (2026-07-26) was
  already stale against the build that shipped it, and which listed none of the routes
  that now exist. A sitemap that under-reports is not neutral: it is the document
  robots.txt points crawlers at, so anything absent here is discovered only by link
  crawling, and a <lastmod> in the past tells a crawler the content has not changed and
  suppresses a re-fetch.

  DELIBERATELY ABSENT, and why — these are not oversights:
    /admin, /admin.html   privileged console; noindex + X-Robots-Tag
    /id,    /id.html      renders a delegate's name, photo and QR credential; noindex
    /scan,  /scan.html    staff-only scanner; noindex
  Listing a noindex URL in a sitemap is a contradiction that Search Console reports as
  an error, so the noindex set is omitted entirely rather than listed and excluded.

  Arabic is a client-side locale on the SAME URL (?lang=ar), not a separate document —
  there is no /ar/ to list. The hreflang alternates below are therefore the only correct
  way to declare it, and every <url> must repeat the full alternate set including a
  self-reference, per the sitemap hreflang spec.

  MAINTENANCE: <lastmod> is hand-maintained. It must be bumped on any content deploy,
  otherwise it re-becomes the stale value this comment exists to explain.
