  Note: Rank Math also generates a dynamic sitemap_index.xml — both are listed
  in robots.txt for redundancy. This static file lists main pages, the topic
  taxonomy, and currently-published cornerstone posts so search engines have a
  reliable entry point even if the plugin output is unavailable.
