  [2026-08-30] Rebuilt. Two faults, one cause: this file was written before services.html
  and work.html existed and was never revisited, so the two pages most likely to win
  "carpenter services bridgwater" and to show the work were invisible to Google, while
  the three legal pages - which all carry <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> - were
  submitted for indexing. A noindex page in a sitemap is a straight contradiction and
  Search Console reports it as "Submitted URL marked noindex".

  ⛔ A sitemap is a GENERATED file that goes stale silently. Whenever a page is added or
  removed from this build, this file is part of that change. Nothing on the page will
  ever look wrong when it is out of date.

  [2026-09-11] GO-LIVE DONE. The URLs here, the canonical in every page, robots.txt and
  llms.txt were all moved to mthornecarpentry.co.uk together - they are one job, not four,
  and doing three of the four is worse than doing none, because the odd one out tells
  Google the real page lives somewhere else. The six content pages also went from
  noindex,nofollow to index,follow.

  [2026-09-11, later] ALL NINE PAGES ARE NOW INDEXABLE AND ALL NINE ARE LISTED HERE.
  Jordon in #webdev, verbatim: "his legal pages once live should be indexable so his site
  is fully SEO, GEO, aeo and llo optimised." That overrules the older note above and the
  matching line in GO_LIVE_CHECKLIST.md, both of which said the legal three stay noindex -
  that rule was written for a PREVIEW subdomain, where nothing should be indexed at all.
  On his own domain it no longer applies. The three sit at 0.2 so they cannot outrank the
  pages that earn the work, and they stay OUT of llms.txt, because a privacy policy is not
  something to offer an answer engine as content about the business.

  ⛔ A noindex page in a sitemap is a contradiction Search Console reports as "Submitted
  URL marked noindex", so this list and the robots meta on those nine pages are ONE fact
  written twice. Change either and you change both.
