  noctaracorp static-page sitemap.

  RULES THIS FILE IS HELD TO, because it broke all three at once before
  2026-08-01:
    1. Every URL here returns 200. No redirects, no 404s. Verified by curl
       against production, not assumed from the presence of an HTML file.
    2. Every URL here is indexable. A URL that serves meta robots noindex must
       NOT be listed: Search Console reports it as an error, and it spends
       crawl budget on a page that can never rank. Eleven were listed on
       2026-08-01 (/claude, /developers, /spec, /enterprise, /openclaw,
       /keystroke-spec, /dpa, /security-questionnaire, /vision, /canon,
       /poems) and were removed here rather than silently left to fail.
       /claude, /developers and /spec are the ones worth arguing about: each
       carries a SELF-CANONICAL and an og:image alongside its noindex, which
       is a contradiction no deliberate exclusion would produce. They belong
       back in this file the moment that robots tag comes off, and not before.
    3. noctara/vercel.json has NO cleanUrls, so an extensionless URL only
       exists if it has an explicit rewrite. Every entry below was checked
       against the rewrites array. Adding foo.html is not enough.
  Blog posts, question pages and word pages live in their own sitemaps
  (blog-sitemap.xml, questions-sitemap.xml, words-sitemap.xml). All four are
  declared in robots.txt. Do not duplicate their URLs here.

  <!-- /claude was noindex until 2026-08-01 while sitting in this file, which is a
       contradiction that wastes the one page whose title names an assistant. It is
       ungated and mechanism-free, so it is now index,follow and listed.
       /spec STAYS noindex and stays out: it narrates keystroke timing, and the house
       rule is that we never publish the measurement mechanism on a marketing surface.
       That rule still holds and is not up for revision.
       /developers CHANGED on 2026-08-02. The old reason written here was that it
       "documents the superseded HS256 rail". That is no longer true of the page: it
       now documents the LIVE registry (four claims, the null rule, the meter), MCP,
       the SDKs, and it explains BOTH crypto rails on purpose, steering partners to
       ES256 and reserving HS256 for services you already run. It also carries zero
       mechanism narration, checked. It is the developer front door for the product
       we started selling on 2026-08-02, the pre-seed deck points at it as a live URL,
       and it was noindex. An exclusion is only as good as its reason, and this one
       expired. -->
