  Static sitemap index for Ultimate Merch 4 All.

  Why this file exists:
  Search engines and most validation tools (Bing Webmaster Tools, Sitemap
  validators, link checkers) probe /sitemap.xml at the root of the domain
  by convention. Since this site is a CRA SPA, requests to /sitemap.xml
  would otherwise return the React HTML shell — confusing crawlers.

  This file is a tiny sitemap-INDEX that delegates to the dynamic XML
  sitemaps generated by the FastAPI backend at /api/*. Those endpoints
  contain the live URL list for the entire site (static pages, bands,
  collections, blog posts, ~50k products split across multiple files).

  When new product sitemap chunks are needed (we currently have 2, each
  capped at 25 000 URLs by Google), add the next entry below. Extra
  entries that return 404 are tolerated by Google and won't cause errors,
  so a few "future-proof" lines are listed.

  Update the lastmod when this file is meaningfully changed.
