## LLM crawling guidance

- The site is not an SPA; all content is server-rendered HTML with CSS and vanilla JS
- Product data is in the database, not in static files — crawl rendered pages, not source
- Query-string URLs (`/*?`) are faceted navigation duplicates and can be skipped
- The sitemap at `/sitemap.xml` and `/sitemap-products.xml` lists all canonical URLs
