TSD SEO: add 16 missing public pages to sitemap.xml (DTD verdict A)

buildSitemap()'s topLevel array omitted ~16 indexable public content pages
(stories, trades, unions, vintage, wall-treatments, resources, mood-board,
for-studios, attorneys, itinerary, cleared-artwork-sale, collections-by-steve,
job-board, submit, leaderboards, license-terms) — Google couldn't discover
them. Added each in its CANONICAL form (clean for PUBLIC_PAGES, .html
otherwise) so sitemap never conflicts with the canonical signal. Excluded
fancy-search (internal search UI) + thin video-demo/request-demo per Google
guidance. Verified: all 16 return 200, all now in sitemap, exclusions absent,
3124->3140 urls, valid XML. Server change — rides the queued deploy.
