  Sitemap index — authoritative root referenced by robots.txt.

  This file is a sitemap INDEX (not a flat urlset). Google discovers the full
  public URL inventory by following each <sitemap> entry below to its child
  sitemap. Do NOT mix <url> entries and <sitemap> entries in this document.

  Child sitemaps (authoritative production inventory):
    - /sitemaps/static.xml   : static public, legal, policy, blog, city pages
    - /sitemaps/routes.xml   : find-rides, province hubs, ride-route detail pages
    - /sitemaps/rides.xml    : public Ride Post (IR-PST) snapshot (empty until publish)
    - /sitemap-images.xml    : image extensions (hero / blog imagery)

  Excluded by design:
    - /sitemap-videos.xml    : stub only (PLACEHOLDER_VIDEO_ID) — no real video
    - /sitemap-hreflang.xml  : duplicates routes.xml; hreflang alternates are
                              identical URLs (en-ca/en-us/x-default), not genuine
                              regional variants
