What to change
The inventory's hostname must come from an approved production setting, not whichever environment happened to build it. Ask for a simple check listing every distinct hostname in the output before release. A preview build is a useful challenge case because it reveals whether temporary settings leak into publication files. The final evidence should confirm the correct origin for all entries, including newly added nested resources.
A worked example
Illustrative example
Illustrative test: Build using a preview environment and inspect the resulting sitemap before release. Include a newly added guide in the sample because older entries may use a different configuration source.
How to check the result
Every submitted URL belongs to the intended production origin.
A mistake to avoid
A valid XML document can still describe the wrong website.
Your action checklist
Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
