docs(deployment): sitemap + Google Search Console workflow (#1313)#1323
Merged
Conversation
…1313) Add a "Search Engine Indexing" subsection to DEPLOYMENT.md covering the dynamic, DB-generated sitemap (nothing to regenerate per content change), a copy-paste prod health check, the one-time Google Search Console registration/verification steps, and the (near-zero) ongoing cadence. Also note that production pages carry no X-Robots-Tag, with a verify command. Builds on the routing notes from #1252. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…h Console (#1313) The prod site is already a verified URL-prefix property in Google Search Console (verified via the pre-existing Google Analytics property), and the sitemap was submitted 2026-06-17. Add a "Current status" note so nobody re-runs verification, and reframe the registration steps as re-setup-only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Adds a Search Engine Indexing (Sitemap & Google Search Console) subsection to
docs/DEPLOYMENT.md, plus a TOC entry, covering the operational half of the sitemap work that wasn't yet written down.Why
#1252 added the dynamic sitemap +
robots.txtserving, and #1313 surfaced/resolved the prod-deploy stall that was blocking it (prod now on 2.9.0, sitemap verified live with ~718 URLs). What was missing was the operational knowledge: how to register the sitemap with Google Search Console and how often to touch it (answer: essentially never — it's DB-generated and self-updating).Contents of the new section
/sitemap.xml,/robots.txt, URL count).sitemap.xml.X-Robots-Tag(with a verify command), complementing the existing note that the test host is never indexed.Docs-only change; no code or behavior impact.
