  Sitemap Index for Women In Art.

  This static file ships with the React build so search engines that fetch
  /sitemap.xml directly receive a valid XML document with text/xml content
  type (rather than the React SPA shell — which is what made Google Search
  Console flag this in June 2026).

  The index delegates to the dynamic sitemap at /api/sitemap.xml, which the
  FastAPI backend regenerates on demand from the database. That dynamic
  sitemap covers every static route + every active artwork + every artist
  profile + every magazine article + every editorial chapter (≤5,000 URLs
  per category, well under Google's 50,000-URL ceiling for a single sitemap).

  If WIA ever crosses the 50k URL count, just add a second <sitemap> entry
  here (e.g. /api/sitemap-artworks.xml, /api/sitemap-artists.xml) and split
  the backend route into matching slices.
