  Rebuilt 2026-09-16 against the ruled three-market architecture.

  WHAT IS DELIBERATELY ABSENT, so nobody "completes" it later:

  * Satellite city pages. Bryan, Sun City and Navasota are NOT built at launch
    (facts._architecture.satellites_on_hold). They are served towns inside a parent
    market, not pages. Do not add URLs for them until the pages exist.

  * The 13 x 3 service-x-city matrix. SHIP ZERO — 39 near-identical pages built from
    content that does not exist for two of three markets is the doorway pattern
    (facts._architecture.matrix_pages). The two matrix URLs that used to be listed here
    (/drywall-repair-college-station/, /interior-painting-college-station/) had no file
    behind them and are struck.

  * The demo-persona city page that used to be listed here. It is not a Bell market, it
    never had a file behind it, and its city belongs to the fabricated North Texas persona
    the template shipped with. Struck. Bell's markets are the three above and no others.

  * All review counts, ratings and any combined figure. A sitemap carries none of that,
    but noting it here because this file is the page inventory everything else is
    reconciled against.

  THE THREE MARKET PAGES CARRY EQUAL <priority>. That is load-bearing, not cosmetic:
  equal billing across College Station, Georgetown and Weatherford is the ruled
  architecture, and ranking Weatherford below the other two here would contradict it
  in the one file a crawler reads as the site's own statement of importance.

  <lastmod> is the fork build date, not an invented editorial history.

  <!-- ===== Blog =====
       SLUG RENAME LANDED. The first post's directory was /blog/dfw-drywall-cracks-explained/,
       a metro slug inherited from the demo persona that Bell serves no market from. It is now
       /blog/texas-drywall-cracks-explained/, and the <loc> below was changed in the same commit
       as the directory, the post's canonical/og:url/breadcrumb/mainEntityOfPage, and both links
       from /blog/. No redirect was added: client-facts.prelaunch is true, so the old URL has
       never been served. -->
