<!-- The four live pcholproductions.com surfaces.
     /work is PARKED — one real project is not a portfolio. Restore list in the pass log.
     The Beekeepers hall is deliberately absent, and stays absent.
     Correction, verified 22 Aug 2026: the old note here said the hall is "not linked from
     anywhere". It is — the homepage links it twice (the portal door and the colophon). That
     is fine and intended: it is a front door, and the door being findable is not the same as
     the rooms being readable. What actually protects the client work is stronger than a link
     policy — beekeepers.pcholproductions.com returns the HTTP header
     "X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow" on EVERY path, checked against /, a client-room path,
     a .pdf path and /robots.txt. A header covers PDFs, images and JSON, which a <meta> tag
     in an HTML page cannot, and the hall is password-gated on top of that.
     Note for future maintainers: do NOT "tighten" this by adding a robots.txt with
     "Disallow: /" to that subdomain. Disallow blocks the crawl, and a blocked URL cannot be
     read — so the noindex would never be seen, and the bare URL could still surface in
     results. Crawlable + noindex is what actually removes a page. Leave it as it is.
     Client rooms and Kollektiv Onboarding are noindex and must never appear here. -->

  <!-- /ru/how-we-work EXISTS as of 27 Aug 2026, so the data-en-only strip has been removed
       from the buttons on /approach and /services and the Russian door is open. It still
       carries no hreflang="ru" here, for the same reason none of the Russian pages do: /ru/* is
       behind netlify/edge-functions/review-gate.ts and answers 401, and an hreflang pointing at
       a 401 is a Search Console error. Add the alternate when the gate comes off. -->

  <!-- The glossary sits a level under /services on purpose: it is the reference behind the

       every Russian page it is behind the reviewer gate and answers 401, so it carries no
       hreflang here. Add the alternate when the gate comes off. -->
