  GradoX public sitemap.

  Covers the marketing-facing routes hosted at gradox.in. Authenticated
  surfaces (admin dashboards, /{schoolSlug}/* tenant routes) are
  excluded — they're disallowed in robots.txt because (a) they'd return
  authentication walls to a crawler and (b) we don't want indexed deep
  links into individual tenants.

  External properties (blog.gradox.in, career.techcov.in) live on their
  own domains and ship their own sitemaps; we do NOT cross-list them
  here because each domain needs its own sitemap per the protocol.

  When the production effective date rolls forward, bump the <lastmod>
  on the three legal pages — Google uses lastmod to decide re-crawl
  priority and a stale date can hurt visibility.
