  THREE THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE EDITING THIS FILE.

  1. lastmod is the only field here that Google uses. priority and changefreq
     have been ignored for years, so they are kept for other crawlers and are
     never worth a decision. Do spend the decision on lastmod: it must be the
     real edit date, or it stops being a signal. Every entry below was stale
     (2026-07-15 and 07-16) until this pass.

  2. TRAILING SLASHES ARE PINNED TO THE LIVE ROUTING, not to a house style.
     Verified against the Worker: /guide answers 200 with no slash, and
     /checkout 307s to /checkout/. So directory pages carry the slash and
     top-level .html pages do not. A URL in here that redirects is a URL that
     wastes a crawl and splits its own signal.

  3. A URL enters this file only after it has answered 200 on a real deploy.
     A 404 sitting in a sitemap costs more than the page it advertises earns.

  RESOLVED 2026-08-02: https://stratawxfs.com/vs/active-sky is the site's first
  NESTED page, which was the one routing case never proven here. It was held out
  of this file until it answered on a real deploy. It now returns 200 with no
  trailing slash on the production Worker, verified after the deploy of 068de6a,
  so it is listed below at 0.9 beside /active-sky-alternative. Keep rule 3: the
  next nested page waits for its own 200 too.

  NOT COMING: /vs/ (no hub is being built; a one-child index is thin content)
  and /historical-weather-msfs (blocked on an archive verification).

  /checkout, /refunds, /partners and /portal stay out: they are noindex or
  token-gated. /support/ is indexable and was simply missing.

  RESOLVED 2026-08-03: support/index.html now declares rel=canonical
  https://stratawxfs.com/support/ WITH the trailing slash, in the same commit as
  this edit, so the entry below and the page finally agree about the page's own
  address. It was the same slashless-directory bug already fixed in
  checkout/index.html.

  CLEARED 2026-08-03, SAME DAY: /msfs-2020-live-weather and /x-plane-12-weather
  were held out of this file under rule 3 until they had answered on a real
  deploy. They were deployed in the Worker version 52a01daf and both were then
  measured directly: 200, content-type text/html, num_redirects=0, with NO
  trailing slash, so they route like /guide exactly as predicted. Both are
  listed below at 0.7. Rule 3 is intact and unweakened: the next new page waits
  for its own 200 too.

  STILL OWED ON THESE TWO, AND IT CANNOT BE DONE FROM THIS REPO: resubmit this
  sitemap in Search Console and run URL Inspection, Request indexing on both
  URLs. That is the step that matters most, because on 2026-08-03 only 2 of the
  5 URLs in this file were indexed at all (/ and /support/), which is the
  measured root cause of the property's invisibility on head terms. Adding a URL
  here does not index it. ClickUp 86bb7wkpw (Marketing and SEO), owner Tyler,
  due 2026-08-07, https://app.clickup.com/t/86bb7wkpw, carries that step plus
  the 42-day near-duplicate check on /msfs-2020-live-weather that SEO.md
  pre-commits. Close it when the indexing request is made, not now.

  4. THE image: ENTRIES ARE HERE TO EARN A RESULT THUMBNAIL, and they are new on
     2026-08-03. Every product image on this site is a letterbox or a column:
     crop-top is 3.59:1, crop-decks 4.40:1, dash-full 0.60:1, og-card 1.90:1. The
     thumbnail slot beside a result is roughly SQUARE, so a 3.59:1 strip cropped
     to it becomes an unreadable sliver and no thumbnail is shown. That is why
     HiFi and REX carry one and we do not. assets/card-1x1, -4x3 and -16x9 were
     cut from dash-full.png on 2026-08-03 to give the crawler a candidate it can
     actually use, and they are declared as primaryImageOfPage plus an image
     array on all six indexable pages.

     Only image:loc is listed on purpose. image:caption, image:title,
     image:license and image:geo_location were all deprecated in 2022 and are
     ignored, so they would be maintenance with no reader.

     HONEST LIMIT: this makes a thumbnail POSSIBLE, it does not make it certain.
     Google still chooses, and it most often chooses an image that is visibly ON
     the page. The cards are referenced by each page's structured data but are
     not rendered anywhere. If no thumbnail appears once these URLs have been
     recrawled, the next lever is a design decision rather than a markup one:
     put a genuinely square-ish figure into the page body. Do not respond by
     stuffing more URLs in here.
