CONTENT FRESHNESS

We update sitemap dates only when content changes.

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.

Policy

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.

Single source

The public page, /api/public/tools, llms.txt, and sitemap.ts read from src/lib/contentFreshness.ts.

Recently Updated

Content freshness policy

Public freshness page, llms.txt discovery notes, the public tool manifest, OpenAPI-style API docs, and the narrow GPT Actions schema were updated for the low-cost public API suite.

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

Public tool capability manifest

The public manifest now links OpenAPI-style examples, a narrow GPT Actions schema, and low-cost Bazi, match, Liuyao/oracle, and palmistry endpoints separately from paid and high-cost 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.
