  lastmod is the ONLY per-URL signal in this file that Google actually uses.
  It has stated repeatedly that it ignores changefreq and priority, so those
  are kept only for other crawlers.

  Every date below is the real last-commit date of that file. Do NOT stamp
  everything with today's date to force a recrawl: an inaccurate lastmod gets
  the whole sitemap distrusted, which is the opposite of what this is for.
  When you change a page, change its date here in the same commit.

  WHY THIS EXISTS, 2026-08-28: the site was rebuilt on 08-24 and this file
  carried no lastmod at all, so Google received no signal that eleven pages had
  changed. Search Console showed 7 of 15 pages indexed, every one last crawled
  on or before 08-19, and about.html still cached from 07-31 when it was ~180
  words rather than the ~900 it is now. The AdSense reviewer on 08-21 was
  therefore looking at a version of this site that no longer exists.
