Adds a post-prerender step that writes dist/sitemap.xml and dist/robots.txt so Google, Bing, and generative-engine crawlers (Perplexity, ChatGPT search) can discover every public URL — all 116 HTML routes plus their 116 .md mirrors, 232 total. Per-route <changefreq> policy: daily for /blog and /use-cases index pages, weekly for blog/use-case detail pages, monthly for the marketing copy (/pricing, /docs, /for-agents), weekly for everything else. Auth-gated routes (/app/*, /login, /claim) are excluded from the sitemap and Disallow'd in robots.txt; the two lists are derived from a single AUTH_GATED_PREFIXES constant so they cannot drift. robots.txt points at https://instanode.dev/sitemap.xml so crawlers find it without guessing. Verified: npm run build emits both files, xmllint validates sitemap.xml as well-formed XML, the URL count matches the prerender route count + .md mirror count.
