    ── Blog ──

    Reconciled against blog_posts on 2026-08-12. Two entries were removed
    because no post with that slug exists: /blog/bookkeeping-for-freelancers
    and /blog/quickbooks-vs-taxaura. Both returned HTTP 200 with the
    not-found body, and because BlogPost.tsx renders no <Helmet> on that
    branch they inherited the homepage title and canonical: a soft 404 that
    claimed to BE the homepage. Five published posts that had never been
    listed were added, four of them high-intent commercial terms.

    <lastmod> comes from each post's updated_at. Google ignores changefreq
    and priority entirely; lastmod is the one sitemap signal it acts on, so
    it must stay honest. Re-check this block whenever a post is published.
