  West Valley Works: a community awareness initiative.

  West Valley Works is a single-page site, so this sitemap contains one URL.
  Notes on what is deliberately NOT here:
    - Section anchors (#about, #impact, #community) are URL fragments. They are
      stripped before the request reaches the server and are not separate
      documents, so listing them would submit five duplicates of the same page.
    - /test.html is the prototype and is disallowed in robots.txt. Listing a
      robots-blocked URL produces a "Blocked by robots.txt" error in Search Console.
    - /index.html.md is the LLM-facing Markdown mirror. It duplicates the HTML
      page and is not the canonical document; it is advertised via llms.txt instead.
    - <changefreq> and <priority> are omitted. Google ignores both, and <priority>
      is defined as relative importance among a site's own URLs, which is
      meaningless in a one-URL sitemap.

  IMPORTANT: <lastmod> must only be updated when the main content, structured
  data, or links on the page genuinely change. A cosmetic edit or a rebuild is
  not a significant change. Google's trust in lastmod is host-wide and binary —
  stamping this with today's date on every deploy will cause it to be ignored
  entirely.
