Conversation
/journal/building-vault-membership/ is a public, indexable BlogPosting article (robots: index, follow; canonical URL; JSON-LD schema) but was absent from sitemap.xml while all 11 other journal articles were present. Adds the entry in alphabetical order at priority 0.8/weekly, matching every other journal article in the sitemap.

This sitemap entry will be removed the next time the Generate Sitemap workflow runs on main: I checked .github/workflows/sitemap.yml, and its generation step pipes every index.html through grep -vE "$EXCLUDE" while EXCLUDE contains the unanchored token vault-member, which also matches journal/building-vault-membership/index.html (verified with the workflow regex). Since the workflow rewrites sitemap.xml and commits changes on push/dispatch, fixing the missing article only in the generated file is not durable; tighten the exclusion to the private /vault-member/ path or otherwise update the generator so this URL survives regeneration.

/journal/building-vault-membership/tositemap.xml.Why
This public journal article was the only one of 12 journal articles missing from the sitemap. All 11 others (
community-enters-the-vault,dreadspike-origins,first-sparks, etc.) are in the sitemap; this one was never added.The page is fully public:
