    HouseWaves — sitemap.xml
    Place at the site root:  https://gethousewaves.com/sitemap.xml

    SUBMIT IT: Google Search Console -> Sitemaps -> enter "sitemap.xml" -> Submit.
    Without that step this file is just a file; Google has no reason to look for it.

    URLS MUST BE ABSOLUTE and must match the <link rel="canonical"> on each page
    exactly — same protocol, same host, same trailing-slash form. A sitemap URL
    that disagrees with the page's canonical sends a mixed signal and the
    canonical wins, so the sitemap entry is wasted.

    LASTMOD: real file-modification dates, date-only (W3C permits this, and it
    sidesteps timezone and DST entirely — a wrong offset is worse than no clock
    at all). Google treats lastmod as a hint and keeps trusting it only while it
    stays accurate, so UPDATE A PAGE'S DATE WHEN YOU EDIT THAT PAGE. Never bump
    them all to today in a batch: that is the one habit that gets the field
    ignored sitewide.

    DO NOT LIST:
      - /v4/ and anything under it (deleted 2026-11-01 — must stay out so the
        404s are allowed to drop out of the index)
      - /signups/sales-updates.html (blank page that only auto-opens a popup;
        thin content, nothing to index)
      - hw-cube.html (does not exist yet)

    ADDING A PAGE: copy a <url> block, change the <loc>. That is the whole job.

    <!-- hardware.html — INTENTIONALLY COMMENTED OUT.
         The page is finished but its own header comment flags two things that
         are not done: the Sonocotta relationship wording in #partnership has
         not been agreed with Sonocotta, and the board specs need re-checking
         against his current listings. The page is also linked from nowhere, so
         it is currently invisible to Google either way.

         Listing it here is the act of publishing it. Uncomment the block below
         once that copy is signed off — that is the single switch that puts the
         page in front of Googlebot.
