Sitemap, robots.txt and hreflang now agree across all three apps

Three apps, three different opinions on how to talk to search engines. The admin app, the Legal Center and the marketing site each had their own configuration for sitemap generation, robots directives and hreflang alternates — and the configurations had drifted apart over time. The result was duplicate URLs in the sitemap, mismatched canonicals, stray staging URLs leaking into production, and hreflang alternates pointing at paths that did not exist.

We unified the configuration across all three surfaces so they tell search engines the same story. The sitemap now lists every public URL exactly once, robots.txt allows what should be allowed and disallows what should be disallowed, and hreflang alternates only point at paths that actually render.

This kind of cross-app consistency was a quiet source of audit warnings for months. With it fixed, the warnings stopped piling up and the audit reports went green.
