Subject: [PATCH] Add robots.txt and sitemap.xml.gz for SEO

Adds a static robots.txt blocking admin/API/auth routes, a sitemap
generation script (scripts/generate-sitemap.mjs) that writes both
sitemap.xml and sitemap.xml.gz to public/, and hooks it into the
build so the sitemap is always fresh on deploy.
