A list served as a fact when it is empty
- Forbidden
- A sitemap that renders with no entries because a content read failed, asserting the site has nothing
- Instead
- Concatenate the static routes unconditionally, and let a failed read yield the stale list rather than an empty one. When a list is genuinely empty, prove it before shipping.
What this rule looks like
Why this rule
An empty sitemap is not a missing sitemap. It is a positive claim, and the crawler believes it.
