  <!--
    Only routes that render distinct content are listed.
    /about-us/, /services/, /projects/, /blogs/ and /contacts/ all render the
    exact same single-page Dashboard as "/" (they are in-page scroll anchors),
    so they are intentionally omitted to avoid duplicate-content URLs.

    "/" and "/tools/" exist in English (canonical, at the root) and German
    (under /de/). Each language variant is its own <url> entry and every entry
    carries the full set of hreflang alternates, including a self-reference, per
    Google's sitemap i18n spec. x-default points at the English (root) URL.
