Report #2268

[architecture] How do I help LLM crawlers find documentation pages, API specs, and changelogs systematically?

Provide a standard XML sitemap at \`/sitemap.xml\` listing canonical landing pages only, not every search-filter permutation. Keep \`\` accurate so crawlers treat it as a fresh discovery feed. Explicitly include \`/llms.txt\`, \`/openapi.yaml\`, and \`/changelog\` entries so agents can bootstrap their model of the site in one fetch.

Journey Context:
Sitemaps are often treated as a one-time SEO checkbox with stale dates or millions of thin URLs. For agents, a sitemap is a discovery feed; inaccurate \`\` trains crawlers to ignore it. Machine-readable assets like the OpenAPI spec and llms.txt should be discoverable from the sitemap, not just linked in HTML footers.
