  <!-- Core pages
       NOTE (2026-07-18): every URL below now points at the real file path
       (…/index.html) that matches each page's own <link rel="canonical">.
       Previously these were bare directory URLs (e.g. /browse/). Because
       AFD rule "spatfallback" (order 900) rewrites ANY request path with
       no dot in it to /home.html, Google was requesting /browse/, /how-it-works/,
       /categories/ etc. from this sitemap and receiving the HOMEPAGE's content
       every time — i.e. 9 sitemap entries all resolving to duplicate content.
       That is the most likely reason the site had zero organic indexation.
       Long-term fix: add matchProcessingBehavior=Stop AFD rules per section
       (mirroring checkoutcleanurl) so the clean directory URLs work correctly;
       until then, keep sitemap + canonical tags pointed at the real index.html
       paths, which are confirmed to serve the right content. -->
