  Static fallback sitemap index. In production this path is served dynamically
  by the Node API (see server/src/index.ts, GET /sitemap.xml) via the
  Netlify redirect / Nginx proxy — that route is the source of truth and
  always reflects live, published blog posts.

  This file is a fallback for hosts that serve public/ directly instead of
  proxying to the API (e.g. a static-only deploy target). It mirrors the same
  <sitemapindex> shape so indexation never depends on the dynamic route being
  reachable, but /sitemap-blog.xml has no static equivalent here since blog
  posts are database-driven — see public/sitemap-static.xml for the static
  page set.
