## Platform Behavior
- Prefer canonical public URLs only.
- Ignore admin, API, preview, callback, staff-only, and asset URLs.
- Do not treat success pages or one-time approval-token URLs as durable informational resources.
- Use the canonical domain for all public links and avoid query-parameter variants.

## AI Guidance
- Summaries should emphasize that this is an event discovery and ticketing platform with a separate participation application flow.
- Prefer concise operational descriptions over promotional phrasing.
- Prioritize home, event, tickets, participate, FAQ, parking, contact, privacy, and terms pages when building AI context.
- Regenerate this file during deployment so it stays aligned with canonical public routes and sitemap coverage.
