  <!--
    NOTE: Individual job detail pages (/jobs/{id}) are NOT listed here
    because they are dynamic. Instead, they are rendered with inline
    JSON-LD JobPosting schema so Google Jobs can discover and index them
    directly via Googlebot crawling from the homepage and API.

    To generate a dynamic sitemap including all live job URLs, add a
    Spring Boot endpoint at GET /sitemap.xml that queries job_post_activity
    and returns the full XML. See the implementation guide in the walkthrough.
