  dd-SEO-1 — Static sitemap INDEX.

  Next 16 + generateSitemaps() (src/app/sitemap.ts) reserves the /sitemap.xml
  path for the metadata system but does NOT emit a usable index there: a custom
  app/sitemap.xml/route.ts collides at build ("Conflicting route and metadata"),
  and with the path unfilled it 404s. So the index is served from this static
  file (same approach the site shipped with in dd-050) — but with the frozen
  per-entry lastmod removed.

  INTENTIONALLY NO per-entry lastmod: the previous revision stamped every entry
  with 2026-05-19T04:22:41.836Z and never changed, telling Google "nothing
  changed since May 19" and throttling recrawl of the whole ~199k-URL site for
  weeks. Omitting lastmod here is valid per the sitemaps.org spec and lets Google
  read freshness from each chunk's own per-URL dates instead (chunk 0 = static /
  hub / combo URLs; chunks 1..52 = per-jurisdiction practice pages stamped with
  practice.updatedAt).

  dd-560: THIS LIST MUST MATCH generateSitemaps() IN src/app/sitemap.ts, and
  nothing enforces that. The chunk list is now derived from JURISDICTIONS, not
  US_STATES: chunks 1..50 are the 50 states in US_STATES order, 51 is DC and 52
  is Puerto Rico (dd-554). Those two chunks shipped serving 955 and 1,681 real
  practice URLs while this file still stopped at 50, so Googlebot had no way to
  discover either of them. If you add a jurisdiction, add its chunk here in the
  same commit. Filed as dd-561: a gate that fails when the two disagree.
