  MotoTrips · sitemap index (static, served at /sitemap.xml).

  Why this exists:
    The real, dynamic sitemap is generated by the FastAPI backend at
    `/api/seo/sitemap.xml`. However, the Kubernetes ingress only routes
    paths starting with `/api/*` to the backend — `/sitemap.xml` at the
    domain root would otherwise fall through to the React SPA fallback,
    returning HTML instead of XML. Bots (including Googlebot) probe
    the canonical `/sitemap.xml` location regardless of the `Sitemap:`
    declaration in robots.txt; getting HTML there is a strong negative
    SEO signal and explains 22 URLs sitting on "Detectada — não
    indexada" (epoch 1970-01-01) in Google Search Console as of
    2026-05-21.

  Solution:
    This file (a valid Sitemap Index per sitemaps.org/protocol.html)
    sits in `public/` so the static server returns it before the SPA
    fallback. It points to the dynamic sitemap, which is regenerated on
    every request with fresh trips, clubs, lastmod, and hreflang
    variants. Sitemap Index is a first-class Google citizen — bots will
    follow the <loc> to the dynamic one and crawl every URL within.
