  SOLEX — XML sitemap. 7 pages × 2 languages = 14 URLs.

  Every <url> carries the FULL alternate set (en, ar, x-default) including a
  self-reference, which is what the hreflang spec requires: an annotation is
  only valid if every URL in the cluster lists every other URL AND itself.
  Sitemap hreflang and <link rel="alternate"> in the markup are equivalent
  signals; both are present here and in the page heads, and they agree.

  ⚠ The Arabic URLs are Vercel REWRITES (see vercel.json) — /ar/about serves
  the same bytes as /pages/about.html, whose <link rel="canonical"> points at
  the English URL. Until each Arabic URL emits its own canonical, Google will
  consolidate the pair onto the English URL and the hreflang below is inert.
  The Arabic URLs are listed anyway: they are real, reachable, distinct-content
  routes, and their appearance in Search Console as "alternate page with proper
  canonical tag" is the visible symptom of that open defect, not a sitemap bug.

  No <changefreq> or <priority>: Google ignores both.
  lastmod is the date this SEO pass touched the pages.
