CONTENT FRESHNESS
This page explains how CosmicTao maintains public content freshness for search engines, AI answer engines, and human reviewers. We do not rotate sitemap dates at 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.
The public freshness page and tool manifest were updated to record the Ruyi Pouch page, its authenticated paid-report boundary, and the latest site discovery links.
Evidence: This date reflects real API discoverability, machine-readable manifest, OpenAPI schemas, GPT Actions setup, and example changes, not a build-time rotation.
Sample paths: /content-freshness, /api/public/tools, /api/public/gpt-actions-openapi, /llms.txt
The public manifest lists Bazi, match, Liuyao/oracle, palmistry, market-cycle, and Ruyi Pouch capabilities while separating anonymous APIs from authenticated paid-report routes.
Evidence: Updated /api/public/tools response shape, /api/public/openapi schema/examples, /api/public/gpt-actions-openapi, llms.txt discovery, and targeted tests for public API citation.
Sample paths: /api/public/tools, /api/public/openapi, /api/public/gpt-actions-openapi, /api/public/bazi/summary
Homepage copy, feature descriptions, FAQ answers, metadata, JSON-LD, and sitewide footer discovery links were updated for clearer product entry paths.
Evidence: Refresh this date only after real homepage copy, metadata, schema, FAQ, major UI, or discovery-copy changes.
