  Sitemap index — points at the shards generated by
  app/sitemap.ts (generateSitemaps). Next.js's sitemap convention
  produces /sitemap/{id}.xml shards but does NOT auto-create this
  root index, and Google Search Console fails with "Could not fetch
  sitemaps" when it probes /sitemap.xml and gets a 404. Serving
  this static file from public/ fixes that without conflicting with
  the sitemap.ts route (which only claims /sitemap/{id}.xml paths).

  Submit this single URL (vectorbid.bid/sitemap.xml) in GSC; Google
  follows the <loc> links to each shard automatically. The lastmod
  values are approximate — shards themselves declare per-URL
  lastmod timestamps, which is what Google uses to schedule
  crawls. The index lastmod is advisory.
