CONTENT FRESHNESS
This page records how CosmicTao maintains public content freshness for search engines, AI answer engines, and human reviewers. We do not rotate sitemap dates from build time; a date changes only when page copy, structured data, FAQ, source notes, public discovery paths, or tool contracts materially change.
Sitemap lastModified dates are maintained from substantive content, schema, or discovery-path changes. They are not set from build time and are not rotated on a timer.
The public page, /api/public/tools, llms.txt, and sitemap.ts read from src/lib/contentFreshness.ts.
Public freshness page, llms.txt discovery notes, and the public tool manifest were updated for the first low-cost public API suite.
Evidence: This date reflects real API discoverability and machine-readable manifest changes, not a build-time rotation.
Sample paths: /content-freshness, /api/public/tools, /llms.txt
The public manifest now lists low-cost Bazi, match, Liuyao/oracle, and palmistry endpoints separately from paid and high-cost routes.
Evidence: Updated /api/public/tools response shape, llms.txt discovery, and targeted tests for public API citation.
Sample paths: /api/public/tools, /api/public/bazi/summary, /api/public/liuyao/cast-summary
Market-cycle SEO/GEO facts, visible FAQ, FAQPage schema, llms.txt discovery, and sitemap lastmod were updated.
Evidence: The page explains completed weekly candles, authorized data boundaries, and non-investment-advice framing.
Sample paths: /market-cycle
Palmistry page copy, metadata, visible FAQ, FAQPage schema, privacy/storage boundaries, and llms.txt discovery were updated.
Evidence: The page now describes user-confirmed heart, head, and life lines, saved-report-only storage, and cultural-reading boundaries.

Older product and library groups keep their older lastModified dates until they receive a real editorial, schema, FAQ, source-note, or internal-link update.
