       VHEALTH SITEMAP — public/sitemap.xml
       Served as a static file; takes precedence over the dynamic Express
       route because express.static() intercepts it first.

       RULES
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       • One <url> per canonical path — no duplicates.
       • All blog posts use /blog/<slug> (not /insights/).
       • Redirect-only routes (/ai-implementation-workflow-design) are
         excluded — they return 301 and have no indexable content.
       • Utility pages (/unsubscribed, /admin/*) are excluded.
       • Keep lastmod values accurate; stale dates mislead crawlers.
