  HourSquare Land Portal sitemap.

  Conventions:
    - Localized pages emit TWO entries (one per language) and each carries
      the full <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="..."> set (en + ka +
      x-default). This is Google's recommended sitemap-hreflang pattern.
    - Untranslated comparison pages (alternatives/:slug for now) list only
      the EN URL in sitemap; rel=canonical on the prerendered KA URL points
      back at the EN canonical, so duplicate-content is handled cleanly
      without listing the same content twice.
    - /news/:id is EN-only (no /ka/news/ mirror) so each entry lists the EN URL only,
      matching the alternatives-page pattern. Only IDs that GET /api/news/{id} actually
      returns 200 from prod (https://land.hoursquare.com/api) belong here — listing seed
      IDs that don't exist in prod produces soft 404s (SSR ships placeholder shell with
      HTTP 200 when the API 404s, see NewsDetails.loadArticle error branch). Audit before
      adding: the NewsSeedData re-seeds on each Land.API start with auto-increment IDs,
      so the seed-file index is not the prod ID.

  Source of truth for path lists:
    - Static paths: src/app/app.routes.ts (LOCALIZED_ROUTE_PATHS)
    - Glossary slugs: src/app/content/glossary/glossary-entries.ts
    - Alternatives slugs: src/app/content/alternatives/alternatives-entries.ts

  Refresh `lastmod` when content changes meaningfully.

  <!-- ============ REGISTER ============ -->
  <!--
    /register is a public, bilingual signup page that talks directly to the
    Identity microservice. Post-action pages (/confirm-email,
    /resend-verification) are intentionally NOT in this sitemap — they're
    transactional URLs reached only via deep-links from the verification
    email, they have no SEO value, and indexing them risks crawlers
    triggering /Account/ConfirmEmail on stale tokens.
