  Every URL here serves its own crawlable HTML and names itself as canonical. /about,
  /games, /premium and /faq are emitted at build time by scripts/prerender-routes.mjs —
  before that they hit the Cloudflare Pages SPA fallback and returned the homepage, so
  listing them was listing duplicates.

  Every <lastmod> is the date the page last changed in a way Google counts as
  significant: its text, its links or its structured data. Google ignores lastmod
  site-wide once it catches the dates being wrong, so bump one only when its page
  really changed, never all of them by habit.

  /privacy, /terms and /delete-account are deliberately NOT listed (2026-10-10). They are
  SPA-only, so their HTML is the homepage shell with canonical="/", and nothing in the app
  changes that tag after load, so Google reads canonical="/" even after rendering them. A
  sitemap may list only URLs that are their own canonical. This file used to keep these
  three, on the assumption that Googlebot's rendering would sort it out; it doesn't, and
  Search Console reported them as "Alternate page with proper canonical tag". Store and
  OAuth reviewers open them by direct link, which never needed the sitemap.

  They were NOT prerendered on purpose: their real text lives in PrivacyPage.tsx /
  TermsPage.tsx, and a second hand-maintained copy of legal wording is a drift hazard
  worse than the duplicate it fixes. Give them a shared source before adding them to
  ROUTES, and a self-canonical before listing them here again. check-site-facts.mjs fails on any listed URL that
  isn't one of the site's own prerendered or static pages.

  Keep this file in step with that ROUTES table and with public/guides/.
