  Static sitemap for the marketing surface.

  Hosts must read www.gradbrand.co.za: the apex 308-redirects to www, and every
  <link rel="canonical"> the app emits points at www. A sitemap listing URLs
  that redirect is a self-inflicted crawl penalty.

  This is a client-rendered SPA with a static sitemap, so a post published from
  the admin console cannot appear here without a redeploy. The three launch
  posts below are listed explicitly because they are the pages we are actively
  driving traffic to. Anything published after them is still discoverable —
  /blog links to every published post — it simply is not listed here until the
  next deploy.
