<!--
  Public marketing URLs only. Every entry here must also be reachable by a real
  <a href> somewhere on the site: a sitemap is a hint, an internal link is the
  actual discovery signal, and a URL that only exists here will not be drawn as
  a sitelink.

  Google ignores <changefreq> and <priority> entirely; they are kept for file
  consistency. <lastmod> IS used, and for article URLs it must equal that
  article's dateModified — src/content/articles/__tests__/articleSourcing.test.ts
  reads this file and fails the build if the two drift.

  The /articles HUB entry is a LOWER BOUND instead, enforced by the same test: it
  must be at least the newest article dateModified, because the hub renders each
  card's "Updated" date. It may legitimately run AHEAD of every article when the
  hub's own layout changes.

  Kept in step with MARKETING_PATHS in src/lib/seo/marketingRoutes.ts.
