- Closing duplicates without deleting the URL Google already indexed
Closing a duplicate Issue as `duplicate` keeps the URL live, which is good. Staff sometimes deleted the thread instead, and Google kept the 404. Process now: lock, status=`duplica...
- A field guide to schema.org for community products
Forums are not blogs. DiscussionForumPosting wants real comment nodes. Q&A wants acceptedAnswer only when a human marked it. Do not emit MedicalCondition because a campus clinic uses the software. Put the clinic in entity_type=organization
- Why we keep /search out of the sitemap

- Search finds the title but not a code token in a reply

Root `/llms.txt` lists a few categories. Auto-include every public category with a one-line description. Machine crawlers should not have to guess our IA.
