  Launch sitemap (updated 2026-08-05: /services/staffing-bpo/ and
  /markets/emerging-markets/ removed — both are hidden from launch navigation
  and carry page-level noindex, so the sitemap and meta must agree. Re-add
  them when the pages are restored. /partners/ingram-micro/ stays listed: it
  is de-featured from navigation but remains a complete, indexable page.) — regenerated 2026-08-04 against the actual App Router routes.

  The previous version listed seven routes that no longer exist (/solutions/,
  /services/modern-work/, /services/cloud-infrastructure/,
  /services/data-innovation/, /services/managed-service-desk/,
  /services/staff-augmentation/, /services/education-consulting/) and omitted
  every market and partner page. It also lived at the repository root rather
  than public/, so it was never copied into the static export and never served.

  Deliberately excluded (unlinked legacy routes, which also carry a page-level
  noindex): /tools/*, /insights/*. See docs/launch-readiness.md.
  /ui-lab/ was an internal design-review route and was deleted 2026-08-05.

  Also excluded, for a different reason: /privacy/. It exists and is linked from
  the footer and the contact form, but it is an unapproved draft carrying
  `robots: noindex`. Add the entry below in the same change that removes that
  noindex, so the sitemap and the meta tag never disagree:

    <url><loc>https://arktci.com/privacy/</loc><changefreq>yearly</changefreq><priority>0.3</priority></url>

  /contact/success/ is excluded permanently — a confirmation page has no value
  in search results.
