  <!-- 2026-05-11: removed sitemap-news.xml — its 1,000 /job-detail/* URLs all emit
       <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow"> on the actual page, so Google was
       polling them only to be told "don't index". Net: pure crawl budget waste +
       signal contradiction (sitemap says crawl, page says don't index). -->
