   ZORGANICS — PRODUCTION SITEMAP
   (2026-08-17 clean-URL architecture refresh)
  ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
   CANONICAL-DOMAIN CORRECTION (2026-08-30): every <loc> below now uses the
   WORKING public origin https://www.zorganicsinstitute.edu. The bare
   (non-www) host currently returns 502 Bad Gateway and permanently 301s to
   the www host, so no sitemap URL points at a non-www, 404 or 502 address.
   Only the hostname changed — every path, page, canonical target and
   priority is exactly as before.

   The principal public destinations have FIRST-CLASS canonical paths
   (see src/lib/publicRoutes.ts). Those paths are listed below in place of
   the previous `?section=` variants — each one renders the SAME existing
   section/component, so no page, content, pricing, database or auth
   behaviour changed; only the URL shape did. Legacy `?section=` links keep
   working and resolve onto the canonical path at runtime, so nothing that
   was previously shared or indexed breaks.

   Localized to the two ACTIVE Bellingham, WA service addresses only:

     • Educational & Student Services (Zorganics Institute + Student Training
       Clinic floor)  →  410 W Bakerview Rd, Suite 112, Bellingham, WA 98226
     • Professional Luxury Services (Zora's Styling Salon & Spa + Professional
       Med-Spa)        →  203 Grand Ave, Bellingham, WA 98225

   REGIONAL EXCLUSION (deliberate): the Seattle (/locations/seattle) and
   Renton (/locations/renton) campus pages are NOT included here. They are
   pre-launch and must NOT be surfaced for active search indexing yet.

   COMPLIANCE: every required consumer-information / institutional resource
   (School Catalog, Consumer Information, Annual Security Report, Privacy)
   remains listed and fully accessible. Nothing was removed to influence
   Google sitelinks.

   SECURITY: only PUBLIC destinations are listed. ZLP, Z-LMS, SIS, employer
   workspaces, /admin/* tooling, AND personal client pages (/my-appointments,
   /medspa-intake, /foundation/donor, receipts) are deliberately absent —
   those personal pages are blocked in robots.txt and emit noindex meta.

   ORGANIZATION: entries are grouped by reporting brand — Institute ·
   Professional Services · Cosmetics · Foundation (mirrors src/lib/seo.ts
   ecosystem segments used by GA4/GSC dashboards).

  <!-- Legacy program-detail `?section=` URLs (?section=master-esthetics-1200,
       ?section=master-bridge) were REMOVED from this sitemap on 2026-08-17,
       and `?section=tour-booking` was removed on 2026-08-30 in favour of the
       canonical /book-online destination listed above. They all still work
       for existing links/bookmarks, but now resolve onto the canonical page,
       so only ONE preferred version is presented to search engines.

       SEO PHASE 5 AUDIT (2026-09-06) — sitemap re-verified against the
       PROGRAM_ROUTES source of truth in src/lib/publicRoutes.ts. All SIX
       canonical program URLs are listed above, each exactly once:
         /cosmetology-program · /esthetics-program · /master-esthetics ·
         /programs/master-esthetician-bridge · /programs/manicurist ·
         /programs/instructor-training
       No legacy, duplicate, query-string or superseded program URL remains
       anywhere in this file (the retired /programs/<slug> variants and the
       `?section=` program surfaces were already removed in the passes noted
       above, and they continue to 301/resolve onto the canonical page).
       This audit changed NO <loc>, <lastmod>, <changefreq>, <priority> or
       entry ordering — the crawlable URL set is byte-for-byte identical. -->

  <!-- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
       GOOGLE CLEANUP — PHASE 2B (2026-09-12): NO QUERY-STRING URLS
       ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       Every `?section=` <loc> was removed from this sitemap. Each one was
       handled in exactly one of three ways:

         · A clean canonical path already exists → the sitemap entry is the
           clean path. `?section=our-story` is now /about-us (listed below);
           it renders the SAME existing Our Story content and receives a true
           edge 301 (public/_redirects).

         · Legitimate public INSTITUTE page with no clean route yet →
           REPORTED for later clean-route creation, not silently redirected:
             ?section=ecosystem · ?section=village-map · ?section=housing ·
             ?section=hospitality · ?section=employer-onboarding
           These pages still work and are still reachable through in-site
           navigation; only their query-string sitemap entries were removed.

         · Content belonging to a RELATED Zorganics entity with no clean
           route yet → removed from the Institute sitemap. Each entity keeps
           its own canonical destination listed further below, so nothing was
           de-published and no active business page lost its sitemap presence:
             ?section=professional-services  (Salon & Med Spa service menu —
               entities remain listed at /salon and /medspa)
             ?section=pure-benefit-rewards   (Cosmetics loyalty — Cosmetics
               remains listed at /cosmetics)
             ?section=foundation-donate · ?section=gala-fundraiser
               (Foundation giving/events — Foundation remains at /foundation)

       NOTHING was redirected to an unrelated page, and no page, content,
       pricing, form, database or auth behaviour changed.
